I am attempting to make a web page more Netscape friendly... <a
href="http:www. gordonceilings. com"></a>
I have already corrected the table issues in an offline staging site
(where I do the building and then move it to the live site when ready),
so don't worry about those. My problem lies in the menu on the left. It
shows up and the initial links work in Netscape 8, but the menu will
not drop down to show the sub-selections. I can get the sub-menus to
drop down with "document.getEl ementById" arguments, but the rest of the
menu won't move down accordingly to make room, making for a jumbled
mess. It works flawlessly in IE5 and 6 with either document.all or
getElementById, but in looking for an answer I see that IE is more
forgiving...
Here is the script, it seems to be a common one:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript">
// ADDITIONAL NOTES
// The input variables to the toggle function are the number of the
submenu to open/close,
// starting with 0, and the number of pixels to move the objects below.
// For example toggle(1,60) opens/closes the second submenu and moves
the objects below 60 pixels.
var nom = 10; // Number of menus
var usePictures = 0; // use pictures? 1 = yes, 0 = no
var ttls = new Array(); // An array for the title objects
var subs = new Array(); // An array for the submenu objects
var lastn;
var lastmove;
if (document.layer s) {
visible = 'show';
hidden = 'hide';
}
else
if (document.all) {
visible = 'visible';
hidden = 'hidden';
}
for (var i = 1; i <= nom; i++) {
ttls[i] = ('title' + i);
subs[i] = ('submenu' +i);
}
function picopen(n) {
title = ('title' + n);
pic = ('pic' + n);
if (document.layer s) {
document.layers[title].document.image s[pic].src = "opened.gif ";
}
else if (document.all) {
document.all(pi c).src = "opened.gif ";
}
}
function picclose(n) {
title = ('title' + n);
pic = ('pic' + n);
if (document.layer s) {
document.layers[title].document.image s[pic].src = "closed.gif ";
}
else if (document.all) {
document.all(pi c).src = "closed.gif ";
}
}
lastn = (nom + 1);
lastmove = 0;
function lasttoggle(n,mo ve) {
if (n <= nom) {
menu = ('submenu' + n);
if (document.layer s) {
submenu = document.layers[menu];
}
else if (document.all) {
submenu = document.all(me nu).style;
}
if (submenu.visibi lity == visible) {
submenu.visibil ity = hidden;
for (var i = (n+1); i <= nom; i++) {
if (document.layer s) {
document.layers[ttls[i]].top -= move;
document.layers[subs[i]].top -= move;
}
else if (document.all) {
document.all(tt ls[i]).style.pixelTo p -= move;
document.all(su bs[i]).style.pixelTo p -= move;
}
}
}
}
}
function toggle(n,move) {
menu = ('submenu' + n);
if (document.layer s) {
submenu = document.layers[menu];
}
else if (document.all) {
submenu = document.all(me nu).style;
}
if (submenu.visibi lity == visible) {
submenu.visibil ity = hidden;
if (usePictures) picclose(n);
for (var i = (n+1); i <= nom; i++) {
if (document.layer s) {
document.layers[ttls[i]].top -= move;
document.layers[subs[i]].top -= move;
}
else if (document.all) {
document.all(tt ls[i]).style.pixelTo p -= move;
document.all(su bs[i]).style.pixelTo p -= move;
}
}
}
else {
submenu.visibil ity = visible;
if (usePictures) picopen(n);
if (lastn != n) {
lasttoggle(last n,lastmove);
}
for (var i = (n+1); i <= nom; i++) {
if (document.layer s) {
document.layers[ttls[i]].top += move;
document.layers[subs[i]].top += move;
}
if (document.all) {
document.all(tt ls[i]).style.pixelTo p += move;
document.all(su bs[i]).style.pixelTo p += move;
}
}
}
lastn = n;
lastmove = move;
}
function loadFrames(fram e1,page1) {
eval("parent."+ frame1+".locati on='"+page1+"'" );
}
// End -->
</script>
So far all I can find concerning this script is people that are having
problems with it... maybe it's time for a new script, but I really
don't want to have to rebuild the menu...
