Script Help: NetScape Compatibility.

[MattyUK]

Hi

I have a page I am trying to make Netscape friendly.

http://www.edanblack.co.uk/test.htm

(contact and services links are experiments aka work in progress)

If uses the following script to set the display attribute on named and ID'd DIV tags.

function menudisplay(menushow)
{
document.getElementById('contact').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('services').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('freeservices').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('ebis').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('aboutus').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('careers').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('sitemap').style.display='none';
if (menushow!='none')
{
var ms="document.getElementById('"+menushow+"').style.display='inline'";
eval(ms);
}
}

Only problem is that it doesn't work on Netscape 7. However it is fine on Opera 6.04 and IE6.0. Any ideas why?

There are other problems on Opera (like the horizontal menu links not being clickable), but that is another issue.

I'd really appreciate any feedback. Many thanks in advance.

Postscript: Errm just noticed that Netscape doesn't really load/like the CSS file at all. So the site looks worse than it will be.

I'll look into the CSS thing with Netscrape later on.

why eval???
straight-forward:

document.getElementById(menushow).style.display='inline';

should do just fine

Thanks.
OK thats now done. Not sure how I let eval creep in there. Must have been legacy from before I adapted the function.

NetScape still doesn't show the menus. Does it understand the CSS display attribute with values or none and inline?

Any ideas anyone? This function simply fails without error suggesting it may be the browser/html code, but I need to be certain.

Scrub that a quick empty of hte cache and Netscape scripts as desired. Thanks VLaddy.

Just got to work out the CSS problem now.

Any ideas? Any forums like this one for crosss browser coding you can put me onto?
