What are the Netscape-Mozilla equivalents?

[Simba]

Hi,

I've written some javascript routines for Internet Explorer and Opera.
Could you tell me the Netscape and Mozilla equivalents?

Thanks

-------------------------

//this works with Opera, not with Netscape and Mozilla:

var menuOpened = false;
var whatMenu = new Object();

function showMenu(menu){ //menu is the id of a DIV element

if ( menu == null ) return;

if (!menuOpened){
menu.style.visi bility='visible ';
menuOpened = true;
whatMenu = menu;
}
else{
menu.style.visi bility='hidden' ;
menuOpened = false;
whatMenu = null;
}
}

-----------------

//this works only with Internet Explorer and Opera

var clicksBold = 0;

function toggleBold(){

clicksBold++;

SPANs = document.all.ta gs("SPAN");

for (var h = 0; h < SPANs.length; h++){
x = SPANs[h];
if (x.className == "aClassName "){
if ((clicksBold % 2) == 1) x.style.fontWei ght = "bold";
else x.style.fontWei ght = "normal";
}
}
}
-----------------

colors = new Array("blue","c yan","lightgree n","green","red ","orange","yel low","pink","vi olet","black"," gray","white");
for (var j = 0; j < colors.length; j++){
document.write( "<span style='backgrou nd-color:" + colors[j] + ";
height:25; width:25; border-style:solid; border-width:1pt'></span>*");
}

//the output is a series of sqares in Internet Explorer and Opera,
some black lines in Netscape

--------------------------
//anID is the ID of a SPAN element

<select name="leftMargi n"
onchange="anID. style.marginLef t=this.value;">
....
</select>

clicksBold = ! clicksBold;
It better models what you want: toggling between on and off.
SPANs = document.all.ta gs("SPAN");

Use:
var SPANs = document.getEle mentsByTagName( "SPAN");

All 3 browsers and many other W3C DOM 1 compliant browsers (Safari 1.0,
Konqueror 3.1.x, MSIE 5.x for Mac, MSIE 5+, etc.) all support
document.getEle mentById("menu" ).style.visibil ity = "visible";
So, it is best for many reasons to use this manner of coding.

Using Web standards in your web pages

menuOpened = true;
whatMenu = menu;
}
else{
menu.style.visi bility='hidden' ;
menuOpened = false;
whatMenu = null;
}
}

-----------------

var clicksBold = 0;

function toggleBold(){

clicksBold++;

SPANs = document.all.ta gs("SPAN");
Again, like Lasse said, best is to use

spanCollection = document.getEle mentsByTagName( "SPAN");
which is widely and well supported by W3C DOM 1 compliant browsers.

for (var h = 0; h < SPANs.length; h++){
x = SPANs[h];
if (x.className == "aClassName "){
if ((clicksBold % 2) == 1) x.style.fontWei ght = "bold";
else x.style.fontWei ght = "normal";
}
}
}
-----------------

colors = new Array("blue","c yan","lightgree n","green","red ","orange","yel low","pink","vi olet","black"," gray","white");
for (var j = 0; j < colors.length; j++){
document.write( "<span style='backgrou nd-color:" + colors[j] + ";
height:25; width:25; border-style:solid; border-width:1pt'></span> ");

There is a better alternative here to document.write.

In addition to what Lasse and DU said, the CSS standard requires that
length values used with CSS properties should be provided with units
(px, em, ex, pt, pc, etc or percentages) and Mozilla browsers are
inclined to take a rather literal attitude towards the interpretation of
applicable standards. height:25; may be ignored for that reason alone,
however, the SPAN element is inline and non-replaced so CSS width and
height properties do not apply to it anyway.
