Scripts runs in IE, but hangs in NS

[kasuals]

I just finished a script, and I didn't have NS on my system at the time of conception.

Basically, the script just processes the selections and opens new radio-button based menus. The menus are generated as the page loads.

In IE, everything works great, and loads quickly, however in NS it just sits there at 33% of 16k... is it hung up in a for loop?

Has anyone dealt with this in the past?

what version of Netscape? Netscape 4 has many problems. One of them is going in an infinite loop when trying to documentwrite inside a table.

I'm document.writing inside a table...

Heh...

Figures...

Is there a workaround? I'd think they'd take care of that, it's a really usual feature.

on of them was using a server side script to do the writing. There may be better solutions but I don't know any of them of the top of my head.

I hope this helps. Gary

I'll just have to rewrite it in PHP I guess.

One thing about Netscape is that it doesn't like thousands of calls to [COLOR=aa0000]

document.write

[/color] in a short period of time. A better idea would be to create a string and concatenate it at every iteration, then [color]

document.write()

[/color] it when it's done.

If that's not the cause of the problem, try looking into [COLOR=aa0000]

document.close()

[/color] to see if it's what you want.

I would look into UNIMENT's post. It may lead to interesting things.

"document.write does not work when used inside JavaScript entities i.e. & followed by {....}"
