js document.write( ) includes & Netscape 4.x

john.kwasnik

Hi, all --

I have several pages which use the same components over and over; I'd
like to do these components as includes. I can't do server-side stuff
with my ISP, so I thought I would use client-side javascript: a series
of 'document.write ()' statements to build the HTML fragment.

This works just great in most browsers ... but Netscape 4 doesn't seem
to like them. Sometimes the page doesn't display at all. Sometimes it
stops loading where the include gets read. The behavior is erratic and
inconsistent; the same page may render sometimes and sometimes not, or
will when 'refresh' is hit.

I've tested with 4.08, 4.7, and 4.79 ...

Tried both defining js functions in the <head>, and loading external js
files in the <body> ... same results. Example here:

Anyone know a work-around?

Thanks much,

John

Bad plan. Look into HTML pre-processors, they can save you all the work
and produce reliable results.

Thanks. But in this case, all I can use are client-side means.

I have solved the problem, however.

Jonathan Little (http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com) pointed out a quirk
in Netscape 4.x -- using a 'style=' attribute in document.writte n tags
is iffy. Netscape was REPEATING the lines with such tags, but
corrupting the attribute to 'Ttyle=' ... this left an un-closed <div>,
and the page stopped rendering. Removing 'style=' from all the
document.writte n tags in my includes solved the problem.

document.getElementsByTagName emulator for Netscape 4?

by: 2obvious | last post by:

This is a pipe dream, I realize, but I'm trying to emulate the functionality of the W3C DOM-supported document.getElementsByTagName method under the very nightmarish Netscape 4. Through some sleuthing, I was able to find what serves as a document.getElementById emulator at http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/js/dhtmloptions.html#versionb.

document.write, HTML entities and IE

by: Geoff Wilkins | last post by:

I must confess I only come here when I have a problem - so my apologies if this has been raised before: Using my IE v.6 browser, document.write doesn't convert HTML entities (e.g. ', &) to the appropriate character (though NS 6.2 works fine). Obviously I can get round this for particular entities by writing some code to do the conversion before using document.write - but I need a more general solution that will catch any of the...

Problem with document.write and amperands

by: Monte Gardner | last post by:

At my company, we have a javascript function that uses document.write() calls to create an INPUT tag with type set to "image". The image that it is downloading comes from a dynamic image server, so it has lots of stuff in the query string, including ampersands. The image that I'm getting in my web page as a result of this call is not configured correctly. After some investigation, I've found that the document.write() call seems to be...
