quick browser test for menu system

[Ökii]

http://www.teckis.com/index_menu.html

this seems to work fine for me in

Opera 7
Mozilla 1.1
IE6

on windows.

would appreciate feedback for functionality in other browsers (not lynx or non-javascript browsers, or NS4 :))

Works fine in Safari and mac/ie5

Works in Mozilla 1.3, Netscape 7.02, but Netscape 6.2 throws this error:

Error: [Exception... "'JavaScript component does not have a method named: "getHelperForLanguage"' when calling method: [nsIClassInfo::getHelperForLanguage]" nsresult: "0x80570030 (NS_ERROR_XPC_JSOBJECT_HAS_NO_FUNCTION_NAMED)" location: "JS frame :: http://www.teckis.com/index_menu.html :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 85" data: no]

Hi okii

Works in I.E 6 as you said but not in Netscape 6.

:thumbsup:

[Ökii]

ahh - pesky NS6 and such helpful error messages - will check line 85 anyway, just in case.

cheers all for the replies

hmmm, line 85 is

if(window.sidebar)

which was my quick way of testing for Moz/NS so as to be able to write in a redeclared style attribute -

have amended it to
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Gecko') != -1)

which shouldn't throw an error.

would anyone mind quickly retesting?

also - does the text in the boxes and slide down bits look vertically centred in all browsers?

Now I get these errors:

Error: [Exception... "'JavaScript component does not have a method named: "getHelperForLanguage"' when calling method: [nsIClassInfo::getHelperForLanguage]" nsresult: "0x80570030 (NS_ERROR_XPC_JSOBJECT_HAS_NO_FUNCTION_NAMED)" location: "JS frame :: http://www.teckis.com/index_menu.html :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 132" data: no]

Line: 132


Error: [Exception... "'JavaScript component does not have a method named: "getInterfaces"' when calling method: [nsIClassInfo::getInterfaces]" nsresult: "0x80570030 (NS_ERROR_XPC_JSOBJECT_HAS_NO_FUNCTION_NAMED)" location: "JS frame :: http://www.teckis.com/index_menu.html :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 132" data: no]
Source File: http://www.teckis.com/index_menu.html
Line: 132

Both occur on loading (and hence, the dropdown effect does not work at all).

[Ökii]

better now?

I had another if(window.sidebar) call

once again, thanks for the help.

[Catman]

Now no errors, but Netscape 6.2 still won't show the menus. :(

[Ökii]

oh well - might have to either lose NS6 surfers or think of a new menu system - thanks anyway.

poot...
just a works® for /me in ie5...
'cept ummm the links??? dont go just a nywhere® lol...

[Ökii]

hehe - yup, them links aren't meant to go anywhere yet.

got major tinkering to do to that design today - trying to put content underneath it is becoming a right pain for the different browsers :mad: - only Moz seems to be behaving.
