Firefox testing

[Carlos07]

Please I need some help, I have this function that I need to test it in Firefox 2.0.
I am a JavaScript beginner, so I don't know how to test this. I just need someone to show me how I can create a function in HTML to check if this function stretchHV(......) works good in Firefox.

//Gradually resize a DIV (both vertically and horizontally)

function stretchHV(divName,initVSize,finalVSize,initHSize,f inalHSize,steps)
{
var curEl=document.getElementById( divName );
if (steps>0)
{
var diffV=(finalVSize-initVSize)/steps;
var diffH=(finalHSize-initHSize)/steps;
curEl.style.height='' + eval(initVSize + diffV) + 'px';
curEl.style.width='' + eval(initHSize + diffH) + 'px';

setTimeout("stretchHV('" +divName +"'," +eval(initVSize+diffV)+ "," +finalVSize+ "," +eval(initHSize+diffH)+ "," +finalHSize+ "," +eval(steps-1)+ ")",1);

// setTimeout("stretchHV('" +divName +"'," +eval(initVSize+diff)+ "," +finalVSize+ +"'," +eval(initHSize+diff)+ "," +finalHSize+ "," +eval(steps-1)+ ")",1);
}
}


Thank you in advance.

Welcome to TSDN.

It depends how you want to test it. Do you want it to run when you click on a button or when the page loads?

There should be a div on the page:
[HTML]<div id="yourid">some text</div>[/HTML]

Hey Acoder, It doesn't say anything about a button in the whole script, so I'm just going to test it when the page loads. About the div, Yes there should be a DIV there. The thing is that this javaScript file is an external file. So I have to create a HTML file to test it, which means I have to call the JS file. And the problem I'm having is sending the DIV into the function and then getting the right vertical and horizontal value to see if it works in Firefox. Also what type of properties should I give the DIV for this test, just width and height or something else.

Thank you in advance.

You can run the function on the click of a button, e.g.

<input type="button" onclick="functionname(parameters)">

Give the div a width, height and an id.
