That is not just IE, it is in the W3C DOM Core specification.

It is the way to go, unless you need to support ancient browsers.

Then you need to use Netscape 4 or earlier.

These are the only browsers to support the proprietary Netscape tag
<layer>, and the collection "document.layer s" [1].

Some people still use the word "layer" about absolutely positioned
div elements. I don't recommend that, since it can be confuzed with
real <layer>-tag layers.

[1] OmniWeb is reported to have a property called document.layers , but
it doesn't work.

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. (Below is the code; this clever algorithm is painstakingly explained at the site above.)

I'm having a problem using different properties of the document object in the example javascripts in my textbook with browsers that identify themselves as using the Mozilla engine.

I'm not a javascript guy, but the use of this banner rotator script has given me fits. I know a few causes of the problem thus far, one being the layer tags aren't supported under Netscape 7.1 just the entire 4.X series. Script works fine under IE. I've tried a few things to get it working under Netscape, such as defining a style for the bannerLayer with the style tag, and trying to define the style under the div tag, I've tried the...

How do you get the height of the client browser in IE? Both document.body.clientHeight and document.body.offsetHeight return the height of the document. If the page is long and there's a vertical scrollbar, you get the height of the entire document, screwing up any chance of centering a window in the browser using these values. Is there a way to get the height of the actual browser window and not the entire page height? Thanks.

Hi, I know the 'document.getElementById()' issue is really over since every browser since 1998 supports the W3C DOM standard, but I could not resist this offering :- if (!document.getElementById) document.getElementById = function(id) { return document.all; } This should then provide a getElementById function if one does not already
