    Javascript works in Firefox & not in IE???

    Hi all,

    Im have a problem getting this code to work in IE, it works perfectly in Firefox. Any help much appricated.

    Thanks JoePC

    Code:
    <html>

<head>
<title>DHTML & CSS for the WWW | Creating a Sliding Menu</title>
<script language="JavaScript"><!--

var open = 0;
var slideSpeed = 10;
var object = null;


function setMenu (objectID) {
object = document.getElementById(objectID);
if (open) { fX = -80; cX = 0; open = 0; }
else { fX = 0; cX = -80; open = 1; }
slideMenu(cX,fX);
}

function slideMenu (cX,fX) {
if (cX != fX) {
if (cX > fX) { cX -= slideSpeed; }
else { cX += slideSpeed; }
object.style.left = cX + 'px';
setTimeout('slideMenu(' + cX + ',' + fX + ')', 0);
}

    I think it has to do with how getElementById is used....
    Try looking at http://www.dynamicdrive.com .... they've got tons of this stuff, and all marked as what it will and will not work on.

    Code:
    href="java script:setMenu('mainMenu')"
    This is dodgy. Not only should it be an onclick, but if it is a href then javascript: should be together.

    Code:
    position: fixed;
    fixed is not supported in IE.

    Code:
    onFocus
    Since you're using XHTML (the img tag is XHTML style) this must be all lowercase.

    Code:
    <script language="JavaScript"><!--
    Along the same lines, you must use the type attribute (set it to "text/javascript") and must not use comments to hide the JS.


    That's what I see for now. The last two ought not to affect any browser.
