document.all in Firefox - Mac browsers

[rebelnz]

Hi there

Can you shed any light on this error - it's a drop down menu I've got working in IE but not Firefox, Safari or Mac IE.

Mozilla javascript console tells me document.all is non standard and to use WC3 standard document.getElementById() instead but it still doesn't work - also does anyone know how to get this code working on Mac browsers?

website is at

http://www.webhead.co.nz/gcafe

jscript code is here - the original is commented out:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function showmenu(elmnt)
{
//document.all(elmnt).style.visibility="visible"
document.getElementById(elmnt).style.visibility="visible"
}

function hidemenu(elmnt)
{
//document.all(elmnt).style.visibility="hidden"
document.getElementById(elmnt).style.visibility="hidden"
}


//-->
</script>

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

What error do you get in the FF JS console with the new code? It should work just fine.

Incidentally, you really should:

- Remove all font tags from your page and use CSS instead. The font tag is no longer part of the standard, and it is unknown how much longer browsers will actually support it.

- Try and combine the above excersize with removal of "b" tags in favour of CSS.

- Use a valid DOCTYPE for maximum compatibility between all browsers (you may have to tweak your layout a small amount after including one - but do make sure it is actually a valid one, not a half-baked one).

- Read this article on getting pages to validate when they have Flash content:

Hope this helps,
