Nested DIV tags and netscape..

Zumbro · Apr 24, 2001

Hi,

I've used DIV and Style positioning for handling layers.
I've made one layer surrounding all other layers making them nested.

<DIV id="layer1" style="positon..etc..etc"> here comes all other info and all other nested layers
</DIV>

The problem is:

I got a javascript function that opens a layer by its id; var lyr = (nestref)? eval 'document.'+nestref+'.document.'+id+'.document') : document.layers[id].document

Netscape complains that the document.layers[id].document doesnt have any properties..
If I take away the surrounding layer all works fine, but the reason for me to have it like this is that I can position the surrounding layer and all other layers follow it..

It's a bit fuzzy, but I really need help on this fast.. Has anyone else seen this kind of problem?

Try moving the style declarations from the <div> tag to a seperate <style> tag in the <head> of your page. For some unknown reason I've had this very same error when trying to use nested <div>'s in Netscape. It all started to work normally once I moved the style stuff into it's own area.
