DHTML Tables w/ Netscape 2

[ziploc1010]

Does Netscape have the compatibility for:

<td id=tdName ... >

b/c my code works in Internet Explorer,
but it won't bring up my table in Netscape.

If Netscape isn't compatible w/ this,
is there any way to change the background of
a td dynamically?

I had the same problem, Netscape does not change the background of a TD, look at my code that I had to use to get around it. I used a NN ilayer in the TD if the browser was not IE. then later on wrote the HTML to end the ilayer I could change the ilayer's background property to give me the same look as IE with TD background changed

<TD class=&quot;menuTDclass&quot;>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
if (!isIE4)
document.write(ilayer);
</script>
<A class=submenuALINK href=&quot;xuseml.html&quot;>Under C'struction</A>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
if (!isIE4)
document.write(endilayer);
</script>
</TD>
the

ilayer

variable was var ilayer = &quot;<ILAYER width=100% height=12 BGCOLOR='#6A9919' Z-INDEX='-4'>&quot;; and the

endilayer

variable was var endilayer = &quot;</ilayer>&quot;;

Basically it is possible with Ilayers. I will show you more code if you need it.

Thanks Klae, that will come in handy. Is the <ilayer> tag specific to Netscape 6, or will it work in 4.x , also?

 

[Klae]

The Ilayer does indeed work in 4.x.

How would one change the innerHTML of a td in Netscape?

 

[Klae]

Netscape doesn't support the function innerHTML. so if you do have ilayers in your TDs then you can use the code..

document.ilayername.document.open();

To open the Ilayer for writing and then use...

document.ilayername.document.write("write text here");

After done with writing to Ilayer then use the close() method.

document.ilayername.document.close();

You may need to substitute your <ILAYER> tags with <LAYER> tags and absolutely position your <LAYER> tags because I can't remember if the code I've just exampled works with both <LAYER> and <ILAYER> tags I've only used it for <LAYER> tags.

You're only as good as your last answer!
