Convert IE JS to Netscape

[Need More Challenge]

Hi,

I have a nice cascading menu i am trying to get to work in NS.

My intention is to slowly pick through the code converting it function by
function, looking for help here on specifics. Is that a good approach? or
should I post all my code?

For example, for starters The following works in IE, but I don't know how to
port it to NS:

bar[i].onmouseover = new Function("ShowMenu_NAV(" + bar[i].id + ")")
bar[i].onclick = new Function("Do_NAV("+bar[i].id+")")
Can you help me?

Thanx.

I think this should do it for you (havent tested it)... and it will work on
both browsers....

bar[i] = "ShowMenu_Nav(" + bar[i].id + ")";

As a higher level answer, you should try to port IE code to be as cross
platform as possible. There should be very little or no IE specific or NS
specific code when you finish.

I'll assume you mean Netscape 6+, not Netscape 4.

If "bar[i].id" evaluates to the name "someId", you are creating a
function with the following body:
ShowMenu_NAV(someId)
When evaluated, "someId" is a variable. In IE, named elements creates
a global variable of the same name. Not so in Mozilla/Netscape. You
would want something like:
ShowMenu_NAV(document.getElementById("someId"));
which can be created by:
new Function("ShowMenu_NAV(document.getElementById(\"" +bar[i].id+"\"))")
bar[i].onclick = new Function("Do_NAV("+bar[i].id+")")

ditto.

No. Even assuming you meant:
bar[i].onmouseover = "ShowMenu_Nav(" + bar[i].id + ")";
that just assigns the string value, not a Function object.
