    ** IE5, IE6 and NETSCAPE COMPATIBILITY PROBLEM **

    Good morning all from italy,

    i have probably a compatibility problem with a html/javascript page.
    The aim of the code of the file test.htm you find here following (copy the
    3 files in the
    same directory) is to change the content of a layer, created with the
    <div...> tag, with an external text (clicking over an hiperlink) or with the
    result of a <form...> submition. The solution (I haven't been able to find
    anyone else) is to use a hidden <iframe...> as temporary container of the
    text request or the form aswer, and then take its content with javascript
    functions and copy it in the layer. It work, but just with IE 6. I tried
    with IE 5, but it doesn't work. It don't know with Netscape. Somebody know
    where is the problem and if I can do in a different manner? Thank you very
    much,

    Federico.

      Will work fine in IE4+ guaranteed. I built a cottage industry out of hidden
      IFrames and updating Div's in such a fashion. It can work with NS6/Mozilla
      and Opera as well, but may require slight variations in your script. I
      don't have the time to wade through all of that. You might post an abridged
      version...

          hank you ... i supposed iframe was supported by IE4+ ... but that html code
          doesn't work with IE5, as i tried in 2 PC just this morning!!! So maybe it
          could be a javascript problem with IE5??

              I think you have a handle on it. Lets see what you've got here...

              Note 1. MM spells MacroMedia (and big trouble)

              Lord this stuff is from Adobe GoLive! (or similar ilk) I would scrap all of
              this code to start with...

              </head>
              <html>

              <body>
              <div id="Layer1" style="position :absolute; left:218px; top:120px;
              width:205px; height:134px; z-index:1"></div>

              Note 2. z-index? Needed?

              Why the z-index spec. on the first element on the page?

              <form>
              <iframe id="textFile" name="textFile" style="display: none"
              onLoad="showTex t()"></iframe>
              <input type=button value=Hallo onClick="window .textFile.locat ion
              ='testo.txt'">

              Note 3. This could be the problem!

              window.textFile ? That's not right. You want to use location.replac e
              anyway.

              if (document.getEl ementById)
              getElement = new Function("id", "return document.getEle mentById(id)")
              else if (document.all)
              getElement = new Function("id", "return document.all[id]")

              var e = getElement("tex tFile")

              if (e.location.rep lace)
              e.location.repl ace("testo.txt" );
              else
              e.location.href = "testo.txt"

              </form>
              <form action="script. php" method="post" target="textFil e"><input
              name="testo" type="text"><in put value="submit html test"
              type="submit"></form>

              Note 4. Mozilla, Netscape, Opera and others will open new windows when this
              form is posted. Assign the target programmaticall y only after determining
              that it is IE4+, You could use the IE conditional comments to handle IE5+
              with a default of checking for (document.all && !document.getEl ementById)
              to handle IE4.

              <p>&nbsp;</p>

              Note 5. I really hate to see stuff like this.

              <p onClick="window .textFile.locat ion = 'testo.txt'"><u ><font
              color="#0000FF" >test</font></u></p>


              Note 6. WTF!

              No no no no no no no no. What's all this then? Where to start? How about:

              <p><script type="text/javascript">doc ument.write("<a onclick='change The
              Location()'>tes t<\/a>")</script></p>

              where changeTheLocati on is a function that executes the previous example
              code about changing the Iframe location.

              </body>
              </html>
              ^^^
              This is okay.

              What is this one for? Your php script should output javascript that updates
              elements on its parent page.
