Javascript not working with XHTML DTD

8,658

Expert Mod 8TB

the only problem I ever had with Javascript and a XHTML DTD is that Firebug complains about a missing semi-colon (which doesn’t make sense and I always can safely ignore this error)

btw. is it not working in dreamweaver or not working in the browser?

Are you using any JS Framework with your code.. like ExtJS or Jquery?

Thanks and Regards

For any new pages, you should be using strict except in a few cases. Also, are you really using XHTML or HTML? Post your JavaScript code or explain what was not working.

function show(menu){

   if(menu.style.display="none"){

       menu.style.display="";

   }else{

            menu.style.display="none";

          }

}

use the window.onload event or a CSS default value.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

menu.style.display="";

is not valid CSS. should be one of "block", "inline", "inline-block", … but certainly not "".

your show() function will always set the display style to "", no matter which value it had before.
