Style sheet in Netscape

[arunjp]

Hi !
How to change the background color of the text field dynamically (in Javascript), that should work both in Netscape and I.E

I don't believe you can do this in Netscape 4.X in any reliable or useable manner. In IE you can use:

document.formname.element.style.backgroundColor="color"

That probably works in NS6 also. Oh yeah, and in my humble opinion, you should forget about NS4, as less than 10% of the total users of the

http://www are

using it. Support NS6 and IE. That is the future. jared@aauser.com

Hi jared !
Thanx for ur response. u r right, but the problem is, Iam into intranet project. The browser is Netscape 4.7 and I.E 5.0 . So os there any possibility to control the background color of the form field or the table column (TD), that is browser compatible.

Thanx
AJP

for table cells, use <td bgcolor=&quot;color&quot;>

for netscape to dispay this, though, it must have something in the cell. adam@aauser.com

jaredn, as for your statement that most users do not use ns4+ :
I 'd like to inform you that I was sure at that too, until I checked it on my own site,and was surprised to find out
that 50% !!! r using ns 4+ with my site, and 50% with ie, usually ie 5+ (that's the average of course. There were days of 60% 40% or 40% 60%).
That means I can't ignore this version, and sometimes I really want that.
I guess it won't be different for others.

A recent look at browser stats site said only 21% are using ANY version of NS (I venture to say at least 1/3-1/2 are using NS6). Perhaps you're market is less diverse than the report I read. jared@aauser.com

ok. It IS less diversed. It's a university and the workers r getting computers with netscape, not ie.
So i guess it changes the picture a bit, since they r part of the site users.
I wanted to say &quot;gotch&quot; to me, but don't know how it goes.
&quot;Caught me&quot;???
