ILayers vs. IFrames 1

arlequin · Mar 11, 2000

Hi people, many thanx to your answers!!! 
 
I must work with the two browsers and I must work with IFRAMES and/or ILAYERS dependign on the browser 
 
but what is the better way to perform this?!!

arlequin · Mar 11, 2000

one of the guys connected to the forum helped me with something like this 
 
<body> 
 
<script language="javascipt"> 
if ((navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf('micros')!=-1) && 
(parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>=4)) 
{ 
document.write('<iframe src=\"prueba.htm"></iframe>'); 
} 
else 
if ((navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf('netscape') && 
(parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>=4)) 
{ 
document.write('<ilayer src=\"prueba.htm">'); 
} 
</script> 
 
</body> 
 
but I can't make it work properly !!! 
 
what is my problem?

I think the problem lies in the document.write line, 
 
here is what I think it should read: 
document.write('<ilayer src=\"prueba.htm\"></ilayer>') 
notice the backslash before the second " (section highlighted in bold.) 
 
with that in mind, try this: 
 
<body> 
<script language="javascipt"> 
if ((navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf('micros')!=-1) && 
(parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>=4)) 
{ 
document.write('<iframe src=\"prueba.htm\"></iframe>'); 
} 
else 
if ((navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf('netscape') && 
(parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>=4)) 
{ 
document.write('<ilayer src=\"prueba.htm\">'); 
} 
</script> 
</body> 
 
all I changed was the backshash before the second quote. 
 
 
 
also, try this: 
<body> 
<script language="javascipt"> 
if (document.all){ 
document.write('<iframe src=\"prueba.htm"></iframe>'); 
} 
else if (document.layers) 
{ 
document.write('<ilayer src=\"prueba.htm">'); 
} 
</script> 
</body> 
 
the second example deals with object detection, instead of browser detection. This may prove more or less effective, depending on your situation. 
 
Try it, and see if it fixes it.

HEEELP!!! 
 
Can anybody tell me why this script works perfect in IE but not in Netscape Navigator ?!! 
 
I MUST place the prensa.htm file inside a cell but Netscape really pisses me off 'cause it throws 
the HTM file anyplace!!

<td width="500"> 
<script language="javascript"> 
if ((navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf('micros')!=-1) && (parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>=4)) 
{ 
document.write('<IFRAME src=\"prensa.htm\" width="100%" height="280" frameborder="0"> [Su navegador no soporta marcos o no está configurado para verlos. De todas formas puede ver el documento a través de <a href="prensa.htm" target="_blank"> este enlace.</a>]</IFRAME>'); 
} 
else 
if ((navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf('netscape'!=-1) && (parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>=4))) 
{ 
document.write('<ILAYER src=\"prensa.htm\"> </ILAYER>'); 
 
} 
</script>

I don't see why there should be a difference. An ILAYER is a layer only it continues off of what is around it. Take the following: 
 
Blah blah blah blah <ilayer>blah</ilayer> 
 
This should look like this: 
 
Blah blah blah blah blah 
 
It goes where the document tells it too. A regular layer would make the last blah and the first Blah to overlap. I would show you this if there was a way to do so on these forums. Remember that an ilayer will always go where the document wants it to, where as a layer goes where it wants to. REH <a href=mailto:hawkdogg@crosswinds.net>hawkdogg@crosswinds.net</a> <a href=

Ou est l'ilayer en la page de Netscape? 
 
    Have you tried giving your <ilayer> tag left=## top=## arguments??? (I.E. <ilayer left=20% top=275 width=60%> 
 
    Maybe that would work for you....help make sure it doesn't get out of place
