Here is a code for expandable list. This is not working in NN 4.7.

Is there a way I can modify so it will work in NN 4.7?

<head>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.open {
display: block;
}
.closed {
display: none;
}
li {
list-style-type: none;
padding-top: .2em;
padding-bottom: .2em;
font-size: 18px;
}
-->
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function toggle(id){
ul = "ul_" + id;
img = "img_" + id;
ulElement = document.getElementById(ul);
imgElement = document.getElementById(img);
if (ulElement){
if (ulElement.className == 'closed'){
ulElement.className = "open";
imgElement.src = "images/opened.gif";
}else{
ulElement.className = "closed";
imgElement.src = "images/closed.gif";
}
}
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body>

No, you cannot fix it for Netscape 4.x because Netscape 4.x predates so many of today's standards and lacks true dynamic capabilities. Treat Netscape 4.x like you would Netscape 3.x or IE 3.x.

ok thanks. Does any one know of a javascript or dhtml for this kind of menu (collapsible expandable or nested menu) which will work in NN 4.7 also?

It's not possible without tag-soup coding written last century which would invalidate your page in every other browser, and almost certainly not work in modern mozilla browsers, Safari or Opera.

But if you really want that ... Dan Steinman's original DynAPI might have something.

Before you decide if you really want to code for NS 4.x I urge you to read these articles @ a list apart:
http://www.codingforums.com/images/icons/icon2.gif To Hell With Bad Browsers (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/tohell/)
http://www.codingforums.com/images/icons/icon2.gif Why Don’t You Code for Netscape? (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/netscape/)

It convinced me not to code for NS 4.x anymore [or for any specific browser for that matter], the benefits of coding according to the standards are far superior to coding for individual browsers !

Not sure if this helps you or not, but the articles helped me convincing my boss that the NS 4.x and IE <5 are bad bad bad :)
