Netscape 4.7 problem

Hi,

Have a look at the following code

Code:

<html>
<body>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
var hidden = false;
var mytext = "<form name=form1><SELECT Name='Sample'><OPTION Value='This is option 1'>This is option 1</OPTION><OPTION Value='This is option 2'>This is option 2</OPTION><OPTION Value='This is option 3'>This is option 3</OPTION><OPTION Value='This is option 4'>This is option 4</OPTION></SELECT></form>";
function changeit() {
    if (hidden) {
        if (document.layers) {
            document.layers['GenericID'].document.open();
            document.layers['GenericID'].document.writeln(mytext);
            document.layers['GenericID'].document.close();
        }
        else if (document.all)
            document.all("GenericID").innerHTML= mytext;
    }
    else {
        if (document.layers) {
            document.layers['GenericID'].document.open();
            document.layers['GenericID'].document.writeln('');
            document.layers['GenericID'].document.close();
        }
        else if (document.all)
            document.all("GenericID").innerHTML= '';
    }
    hidden = !hidden;
}
function getMe()
{
	alert(document.form1.Sample.value);
}
//--></SCRIPT>
<table>
<TD>
<Div ID="GenericID" STYLE="position: absolute">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
document.write(mytext);
//--></SCRIPT>
</DIV>
</td>
</table>
<BR><BR><FORM>

<br>
<br>
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Click Me" onClick="changeit()">
<Input type="Button" Value="option" OnClick="getMe()">
</FORM>
</body>
</html>

Here I want the DIV tag to be inside a TD. But this works in netscape 4.7,but the contents appear only at the top of the page. But if I remove the position:absolute, it doesn't work. Is there any way that I can position this DIV anywhere I like on the page.

Thanks,
Pres.

can't you use a layer instead of a div?

<Div ID="GenericID" STYLE="position: absolute; x: 100; y: 200; width: 300; height: 60">

Something like this, NS 4.7 is outdated...

I'll try this.

Thanks,

You need a unit (i.e. px) on the co-ordinates otherwise it's invalid and probably won't work in Mozilla or Opera. So it should look more like this:

Code:

<Div ID="GenericID" STYLE="position: absolute; x: 100px; y: 200px; width: 300px; height: 60px">

Yeah, right.

Maybe I should do more HTML to remain trained. Or maybe I should just rely on Dreamweaver and not give any advice anymore

Hehe, nah it's alright, at least you don't start shouting when someone corrects you, I probably would
