Mozilla JavaScript Code

[Todd Beauchemin]

Is there any documentation or reference for the Mozilla web browsers.
Some of my older Netscape code doesnt work and the IE code
still doesnt work :(.

Thanks

NG FAQ at

http://www.jibbering.com/faq/

http://www.jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ3_2

lists links for Gecko DOM Reference.

W3C at

http://www.w3.org/

for viewing and downloading DOM and CSS recommendations if you don't
already have them. Suggest CSS1, CSS2, DOM1 and DOM2. Mozilla project is
based on W3 standards and may assume you are familiar with them.

The problem - actually problems - are not with the Mozilla browsers,
but with the _code_ written to work on the others.

Netscape (before Mozilla) was not very standard - to put it rather
mildly - and used proprietary coding options that nothing else did.

Microsoft - ok, I admit it, much as I hate being a Redmond-basher in
this way - was and is worse. More of its code is proprietary than is
standard... although I will leap to their defence and point out that
the newer versions of IE are quite happy to accept and run *most*
standard code.

Check out the group FAQ and you will find much detail on the various
"features" but the ones to look out for particularly are:-

Do not use document.layers - pre-Mozilla Netscape proprietary code.

Do not use document.all - Microsoft proprietary code.
