The following short example works on IE, but on NS the input text field doesn't appear??????

<html>

<head>
<style type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
</style>
</head>

<body>

<form>
<div id=&quot;firstname&quot; style=&quot;position:absolute; top:180px; left:25px; z-index:0;&quot;>
<table border=&quot;1&quot;>
<tr>
<td>
First Name<input type=&quot;text&quot;>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</form>

</body>
</html>

First Name<input type=&quot;text&quot; size=&quot;20&quot;>

But no difference.

try just putting the <form> inside the div.

<div id=&quot;firstname&quot; style=&quot;position:absolute; top:180px; left:25px; z-index:0;&quot;>
<form>
<table border=&quot;0&quot;>
<tr>
<td>
First Name<input type=&quot;text&quot; size=20>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Be prepared for weird results when working with Netscape - it is very particular about syntax, and sometimes things just don't seem to make sense. IE is very forgiving, so my suggestion is to work with NN first, and debug often.

-BB

</div>

yeah,,, for some reason NS thinks divs are separate documents... so it might not like inputs inside divs inside forms.... adam@aauser.com

NS doesn't like DIVs, they don't behave the way they're supposed to. Try this:

<layer>
<nolayer>
<div>
</nolayer>

put the div content here

<nolayer>
<div>
</nolayer>
</layer>

The <layer> tag is the NS version of <div> so if the page is run on NS the <div> tags are ignored (unless you're running an old version, in which case the <nolayer> tags are opened) and the layer is implemented instead. IE on the other hand will ignore the <layer> tag as it doesn't recognise it, hence it will implement the <div> tag instead.

That is unnecessary. I have tested the div, it works perfectly - try not to mislead people ;) &quot;Alright whatever man, I'll hook up the hair, but I aint touchin the ring...Cause I'm still a pla--yer&quot;

What do you mean you've tested it?
Have you tried my code at the top - it doesn't work.

If you think you can get the input to work in a div on NS then show me some code to prove it please.

I said just put the whole form inside the div and it works, like: Hey wait a minute (Calgon?) I did post the code - does it not work? Should do...bb &quot;Alright whatever man, I'll hook up the hair, but I aint touchin the ring...Cause I'm still a pla--yer&quot;
