'getElementById' NOT same in IE & NS?

[HollyVally]

Hi what is the equivalent of 'getElementById' in NS? how to get around the problem of showing the dissimilar display in these 2 ?

should wqork fine in both browsers
eg:tested in NN6.2+ and IE5+
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;txt&quot; id=&quot;txt&quot; value=&quot;some text&quot;>
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
document.getElementById(&quot;txt&quot.value = &quot;Something else&quot;;
</script>

I have the following fnc. that runs fine in IE but does not do certain things(indicated with ~ on both sides) in NS:
function setClickedCell(myForm, myCell)
{
var f = document.getElementById(myForm);
var c = document.getElementById(myCell) ;
var v = document.getElementById('chosenCell');

~if ( v.value ) { // if a cell is already selected but do not wish to use anymore
// then unselect it by changing the bgc to normal.
f[v.value].style.backgroundColor = &quot;#FEFACB&quot;;
}~

( c.value )
? c.style.backgroundColor = &quot;#FEFA00&quot; // alert the user that this cell already has a value in.
: c.style.backgroundColor = &quot;#FF0000&quot; ; // select the cell by changing the bgc to red.

~f.chosenCell.value = c.name;~ // finally do the job: select the cell and show it to the user..

return true;
}

I just checked my code in NS and it doesn't work either, but works fine in IE. Do we have to enable JavaScript in NS somehow ?

I have done that(enabled js in NS) too. I use NS 7.02 and IE 6.0
