Using javascript:func tion() in Netscape 4.x

Martin O'Rourke

All,

I am trying to use a URL to call some javascript to do something, which
is working fine in IE6 but using the same code in Netscape 4.79 I cannot
get it to work at all.

I get no errors, but no results either, Netscrape just sits there and
does nothing ?

Below is an emample of what I am attempting to do. I have had a search
through previous posts and tried to implement some of the suggested
solutions but non seem to provide me with a solution in Netscape, even
though all of the seem to work correctly in IE

Can anyone spot what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks for the help in advance.
Martin

file1.js

function GenerateURL()
{
alert('Hello');
}

example1.jsp

<script language="javas cript" src="c:\file1.j s"></script>
<html>
<body>
<a href="javascrip t:GenerateURL() ;">Example1</a>
<br><br>
<a href="javascrip t:void(0)" onclick="Genera teURL();return
false">Example2
<br><br>
<a href="javascrip t:GenerateURL() ;void 0">Example3</a>
<br><br>
<a href="javascrip t:void(0)" onclick="Genera teURL()">Exampl e4</a>
<br><br>
<A HREF="#" onClick="Genera teURL()">Exampl e5</a>
</body>
</html>

Note: It is split across the two files for a reason

I wonder if it's the c:\ which is causing the problem. Put the JS file in
the same dir as the example1.jsp and just put
<script language="javas cript" src="file1.js"> </script>

Netscape on my machine when you view a file on the machine ina dir structure
displays file:///C|/ so the best way is to reference it either absolutly
(from the web server POV) or relative.
Hope that helps

Hover button won't always display using Netscape

by: Don | last post by:

I have a client page that employs hover buttons. They work just fine in IE. But, when using Netscape, they intermittently won't display. When they don't display, all that shows is a gray box the normal size of the button, with a red "x" inside the box at the left. Any idea what's going on here?
