Moving a layer for NS6+

TechnicalAnalysis · Nov 12, 2001

Can someone tell me the JavaScript syntax to move a layer for Netscape 6+?

I know that it's something like this for Netscape4.x
document.layers.whichone.top=something;

And it's this for IE.
document.all.whichone.style.top=something;

What's it for Netscape 6?

Thanks

.offsetTop=number;

And remember not to use the Layer Tag in Netscape 6, as it has stopped supporting it!

Thanks for the info. However, I've got the error of 'Setting a property that has only a getter'
Does that mean I fail to refer to the right layer?

On the .css file. I have, say,
#whichone {position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; visibility: visible; z-index: 1}

<script language=JavaScript>
var pos=0;
function movethis() {
pos++;
document.getElementById("whichone&quot

.offsetTop=pos;
if (pos<=30) {
setTimeout("movethis()", 20);
}
}
</script>

<body onLoad=movethis();>
<div id='whichone'>
Blah,blah,.blah,.....
</div>
</body>
