Is it possible to somehow change a text in a specific place of a web site (let's say in one of the cells of a table). For example - the user moves his/her mouse over a image map and the text changes accordingly with cursor's position. It has to work with Netscape 3 and greater and IE 4 and greater. If possible I'm looking for a JavaScript code.
If that is not possible is there any way to make the textarea borderless and non-editable (like label in VB)?
Thanks for any help

it can most definatly be done in IE4+, and NS4+, but i don't think NS3 because i don't think that supports the onmouseover event.
it does support onMouseOver() because I've been using that event in NS 3. Do you know HOW to change the text when the mouse moves over a certain part of the picture?
a small example
:)
sorry, i didn't know it supported onmouseover...
crpt: no offense, but i KNOW that won't work in NS3 :)
I'm sure your right, I didn't notice that it needed to work in NS3Quote:

:rolleyes:
I'm not sure that can be done in NS3. I don't think they added support for changing text until they introduced the LAYER tag in NS4. Could be wrong though.
it is basically impossible without layer.
VBSpike - are you sure that NS3 supports onmouseover?
if so, what objects does it work on?
why in the hell are you still using NS3??? time for an upgrade, hell it is even free :)
ytou won't beable to view half of the sites with that browser, if you do it won't be like the webmaster intendd it to be. you must be the 1% of the people using NS3 :)
yeah, there is really no need even for you to care if your users use NS3
Well the reason I am concerned with NS 3 is that our statistics show that quite a significant number of people visiting our site are still using NS 3 (about 15%). It is a number large enough for me to try to develop something that is compatible with NS 3 and IE 4. The website I work for contains information about how US govt spends tax money and many people who are looking for that kind of information don't care about the browser they use (which is usually at work). Believe it or not but many companies still use Win 3.x, I've seen it many times, many others I was changing the system to something more modern. So despite what you might think there is a need for concern about low-numbered-browsers users it some types of project like the one I'm working for.
Anyways thanks for your advice and help

P.S. Personally I'm using NS 6.1 and IE 6 so I'm very up to date in terms of browsers (and every other kind of software for that matter - upgrading is what nerds like me like best :D)
hmmm....why not detect if they are running NS3, and if so, send them to an alternate page?
that is what I like to here. :)Quote:

my stats only show
far cry from 15%.Code:Mozilla/1.xx
Mozilla/2.xx 65 0.4 %
Mozilla/3.xx 528 3.8 %
Mozilla/4.xx 12747 94.1 %
Mozilla/5.xx 194 1.4 %
I agree with Sail as you should make another page if they have NS3 and tell them to upgrade :D
For ppl looking for info on the subject:
Duh, you can change the font color in the same way:
* add an ID="name" to a tag (e.g. the font tag);
* and now you can change the name.innerText or, like mentioned before, name.color, and there's probably many more! Just try!
Happy Coding!

YEAH, BUT IT'S NOT GONNA WORK IN NS3!!
D'OH!
I guess ppl that still use NS3 don't appreciate surfing or sites with anything more than text and some pictures anyhow :P
Thanks for viewing and goodbye!

From another thread in this forum...
This is W3C compliant. If a browser doesn't support it, then I don't care.Code:<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function SetText(myText) {
var TextBlockEl = document.getElementById("TextBlock");
var NewText = document.createTextNode(myText);
TextBlockEl.replaceChild(NewText, TextBlockEl.childNodes[0]);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="TextBlock">TSLIB</p>
<p><a href="java script:SetText('Some test text.');">Some test text.</a></p>
</body>
</html>
Netscape/Sun have made a very nice client side client sniffer JavaScript. I use it all the time.
yeah, but the question was about NS3
Well, the question was for all browsers, plus NS3, which is why I mentioned the client sniffer.
It isn't rude to ask the users to upgrade. If they don't want to, they don't get the features. The standards are as backwards compatible as possible, and I urge everyone to refuse to use proprietary extentions.
Yeah, that is basically my philosiphy too. :D
I just LOVE compatibility! But if the older browser can't come along on my journey toward innovations, then it's just too bad ;-)
Does that sniffer thing work in IE too, or do I have to use a separation routine?
Thanks All!
