Hello all,
I created a function which gets the position of the mouse. This works fine
untill I insert a doctype declaration in the file. The properties
'scrollLeft' and 'scrollTop' in IE will not change anymore. This means the
javascript is changed based on the doctype?
Is this a bug?
Which functions and properties will change their behaviour in what doctype?
Do I miss something?
Is there a solution?
btw in firefox all works as expected
code:
