This one's giving me a headache too. I am wanting to dynamically hide and view a couple of combo boxes, depending on the value selected in a third combo box, which is no problem under IE but I am trying all kinds of things under Netscape. I tried putting the combo boxes on a layer but Netscape (I am testing on 4.74) doesn't seem to like it - I get the text from each of the options displayed in a layer instead of getting the combo boxes. I seem to recall that combo boxes are implemented as separate window objects, so maybe they are incompatible with layers other than the base layer.
i remember a thread of someone who add almost the same problem, but he had the combo in a table cell
i don't remember the forum, the thread number, nor the answer .... sorry i'm afraid i'm not a great help for you !! but you should perform a search in this forum ...
Thanks for the example Jared. In NN4.74 the onChange gives the JavaScript error "this.form.don.style has no properties". NN6 is implementing the new style DOM. Your example also works in IE5.00.2314.1003 . As my page is destined for the web rather than intranet, version 4 browser upwards, I am still looking for an NN4 solution. For the time being I am putting some not applicable "n/a" entries as the last option in the combo boxes and if NN4 I am flipping the combo values to "n/a" at the point where I would really prefer to hide them altogether.
This is a blast from the past - I had completely forgotten about it. No I didn't find a solution, so left it as described above. Personally I wouldn't bother too much about NN4.7 any more unless you have a NN4.7 intranet or are particularly attracting NN4.7 traffic. Analysis of traffic to one of my websites suggests that hardly anyone is using NN4 any more (only a couple of visitors this year).
