DHTML does not work in IE 6

I have a piece of code something like the following:

START OF CODE
<html><head><ti tle>The Wizard</title></head>
<body> <h1>Welcome to Joe's Vet Clinic</h1>
<div id="part1" style="position :absolute;top:1 50px;left:50px; visibility:visi ble;">
<form name="visitor_i nfo">
<table><tr><td> Your name:</td><td><input name="visname"
type="text"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Your phone number:</td>
<td><input name="phone" type="text"></td></tr>
<tr><td>YourZ ip Code:</td><td><input name="zip" type="text"></td></tr>
</table>
<input type="button" value="next"
onClick="switch IfDone(this.for m, 'part1', 'part2');">
</form></div>

<div id="part2" style="position :absolute;top:1 50px;left:50px; visibility:hidd en;">
<form name="pet_info" >
<table><tr><td> Your pet's name:</td>
<td><input name="petname" type="text"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Dog, cat, fish, bird, lizard or other:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="species"> </td></tr>

<tr><td>Breed :</td>
<td><input name="breed" type="text"></td></tr>
</table>

<input type="button" value="prev"
onClick="switch Div('part2', 'part1');">

<input type="button" value="next"
onClick="switch IfDone(this.for m, 'part2', 'part3');">
</form>
</div>
blah blah blah
</html>
END OF CODE

This code needs spport, and can't work as is. It is code taken from
the Apple Developer's Site.

The code works perfectly in NN 7.0. It appears when the page is
served, and the function switchIfDone changes the visibility.

In IE6, it doesn't work at all.

Is there some reason why IE does not support DHTML?

Does it validate? If not, make it.

What appears?
and the function switchIfDone changes the visibility.
How is that function loaded? What is the code?

What doesn't work?

You have forgotten to tell us
1) what you have done (the Javascript code is missing, and it is the
most likely location of the problem),
2) what the page is supposed to do, and
3) what happens when you run it in IE ("not work at all" is not
precise enough).

That's three out of three of the questions we need answered before we
can help you. We need to be able to *reproduce* and *recognize* the
problem.

IE supports DHTML. It's just your code that apparently doesn't work.

Does it give any error messages? Do you have error messages turned on at
all?

Can we see the page? Either a link to the page, or a cut down version
of the code that is sufficient to reproduce the problem (with lines
no longer than 72 characters if posted here).

Something like http://developer.apple.com/internet/...pt/wizard.html ?
I haven't compared that with your markup and you don't show your script but
it looks related.

Well the URL above works perfectly in IE6 for me. How does your page
differ?

Hi all, I'm having a hard time with the use of my DHTML menu and video on my site. The video is served using Windows Media Player. Short of hiding it, I can't seem to get my DHTML menu to appear above the video. Unfortunately, I have noticed that hiding the video caused the browser to flash several times. Does anyone know of anything I can implement that would minimize the client side impact and also allow my menu to appear on top of...

hello, in a dhtml page generated from php I want to include a file which is in fact the body of the dhtml page. My hosting ISP does not allow SSI but supports php includes. In the dhtml page, the generated statment <?php include('fspecs') ?> is ignored. I've the feeling that I'm overlooking something in the way php is parsing dhtml (if it does). The dhtml code saved in a file execute correctly after that... Any hints about this? Thanks...

I am not very good at DHTML, but I have a set of links that use DHTML and they work :) But now the customer wants to have one of my DHTML links call a javascript function when it is clicked on. When I put it into DHTML, it treats everything between the " " like a constant. When I remove the quotes, it gives me an error. One of the versions I have tried is: DQM_rollover_image12 = "/images/nav_hospital.gif" DQM_rollover_wh12 =...
