Can you tell me why the following works in IE, Mozilla and Opera but not in NS? I don't care about NS4, I just need it to work in NS6+

var elem = (e.target) ? e.target : e.srcElement
if (elem.className == "test" ) {
y=elem.id+'r';
document.getElementById(y).style.color = 'red';
}
}
}
function domouseout(e) {
e = (e) ? e : (window.event) ? window.event : ""
if (e) {
var elem = (e.target) ? e.target : e.srcElement
if (elem.className == "test" ) {

}
}
}
document.onmouseover=domouseover;
document.onmouseout=domouseout;
</script>

This should become red when you mouse over the link, but it doesn't in Netscape.
</div>
<a href="#" id="x1" class="test">Mouse over me</a>
</body>
</html>

Guessing now, because i can't test till later, but maybe:
var elem = (e.target) ? e.target : e.srcElement
might be the problem for NS6(inconsistencies between the Mozilla versions were a problem)
Try:
var elem = (e.target) ? e.currentTarget : e.srcElement
for nS6 and branch if that helped.

just changing the line of
var elem = (e.target) ? e.target : e.srcElement
to
var elem = (e.target) ? e.currentTarget : e.srcElement
in the two functions didn't help :(
Actually it doesn't work in Mozilla either this way.

Should I change something more?

The text node is being targeted. Use e.target.parentNode;

Yes!
Now it works in NS and IE, but not in Mozilla ... how do i combine everything to make it work for all browsers?
