Safari browser span problem

[Niavlys]

Hi all,
why in the hell this is not working in Safari (OS X).

<span onClick=window.navigate("default.asp")>

I tried window.location.href, self.navigate but still doesn't work. No errors, just doesn't work.

Thanks!

I believe window.navigate is a Microsoft enhancement. Try the following instead:

<span onclick="document.location='default.asp';">

or if you want to break out of a frameset:

<span onclick="window.location='default.asp';">

Hope this helps,
Dan

I tried window.location, document.location, window.location.href, document.location.href and nothing works.

I can't figure that out...

Thanks

Looks to me like you have javascript turned off. Is any other javascript related stuff working. I don't know Safari, so I wouldn't know where to check.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you do have a close span tag, and content in the middle, don't you? So:

<span onclick="document.location='default.asp';">link text</span>

Just a hunch ;o)

Here is the complete line I use in my code.

<span onMouseOver="change('Menu2','Menu2',1)" onMouseOut="change('Menu2','Menu2',0)" onClick=location.href("Customize.asp")>
<img name="Menu2" border="0" src="images/MainMenu.png"></span>

change is a javascript function to rollover images. This function works fine.

So if you replace your line of code as shown above with this line, exactly as-is:

<span onmouseover="change('Menu2', 'Menu2', 1);" onmouseout="change('Menu2', 'Menu2', 0);" onclick="document.location='Customize.asp';"><img name="Menu2" border="0" src="images/MainMenu.png"></span>

Does it make any difference?

I notice your quoting changes as you go along... Can't imagnie that the browser should have any difficulty in interpreting what you actually mean, but you never know!

Hope this helps,

I replaced my code with yours. It didn't make any difference.

The quoting has changed because the line was at first in an ASP response.Write so I needed to replace the " with '.

I'm working presently to another way of doing this using <a href> instead of span. It seems to work fine using anchors.

Thanks for your help
