Onmouseover causes interaction with IFRAME with Firefox

[ChrisRChamberlain]

Hi all

Have

onMouseover="window.status='My text string';return true" onMouseout="window.status='';return true"

as default within anchor tags on a webpage.

There is an IFRAME on the page, the content of which momentarily duplicates itself at 0,0 through the mouseoever event.

The effect can be seen by going to either link in this signature block with Firefox.

Suggestions please?

TIA

There are a lot of JS files included on the page, and any one of them could be doing things that cause this. My advice would be to remove them all, and see if the problem persists. If so, put it down to a Firefox glitch, if not, add them back in until you find which one causes the problem.

I haven't looked too far (as the JS files I did look in were ofuscated and hard to read), but if I had to make a wild guess, it'd be that "menu.js" is the culprit, so you might try removing that one first.

Hope this helps,
Dan

...it'd be that "menu.js" is the culprit...

Most likely the case... since it's a popular trick to use an iframe to manage "drop out" menus (since an iframe will appear above a form element whereas nothing else does).

What is Javascript? faq216-6094

Dan, Jeff

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Happily 'menu.js' was not the culprit - it was the emboldening in the anchor link hover.

Unfortunately there is now another problem with the downloading of

http://www.pdfcommander.net/pdfcommander_faq.html.

The page in the IFRAME utilises a modified version of faq216-5889 posted by a well known contributor to these fora.

Possible culprit?

Dan - apologies in order, it's something else on that main page.

Problem solved by restructuring divs etc specifically for Firefox/Netscape.
