name <td> to later call it and change an attribute pt 2

[spewn]

okay, i changed the code as follows...


function mynavon(page){

el = document.getElementById("box1"
el.style.backgroundColor = 'red';


if (self.location == page) el.style.bgColor = 'red';

}

each <td> in the nav bar table gets assigned a specific id and...cool, it works, so the nav bar option corresponds to the page...ex: if you go to 'sample.html', the button selection on the nav bar named 'sample' turns red, and so on...

the problem? it requires the user to have the latest and greatest browser version. anyone suggest another way?

well... you can make it work for IE4 also by testing for IE4 and saying simply:

box1.style.backgroundColor = 'red';

don't bother with ns4. ns4 is a terrible excuse for a browser (though you could do it with a healthy barage of <slayer> tags and some document.layrername.bgColor hacks) and you shouldn't waste your time writing dhtml for it. Force users to upgrade for dhtml:
