Different behaviour on Netscape.

M

Mr. X.

Hello.
In Netscape (I have checked new version 9.0.0.5) , there is different
behaviour, that doesn't work at all.
I think the problem may be related to the id.

Here is the code
(For those who want my URL for their database - I don't have any,
because the site is under construction, and that's the best I can give.
I still think it's enough for the case to understand what the problem is).
==============================================
The HTML
========
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css" />
<SCRIPT SRC="Main.js" type="text/javascript">
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body bgcolor = "lightblue">
<div id = "wrap">
<div id = "main_page">
<div id = "nav">
<ul>
<li onclick = "call_func()"><a href="#">test</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<iframe src = "my_src.aspx" frameborder = "0" scrolling = "no" id =
"main_iframe" />
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

*************

main.js
=====
....
function call_func()
{
main_iframe.location = "test_html.html";
}

.... The above doesn't work only on Netscape version 9.0.0.5

....
When I do the following code, program works fine :
in main.js :
function call_func()
{
parent.parent.document.location = "test.html";
}
The follows work fine, but refresh the whole page.

All the above works fine on IE, and Safari (as far as I have checked),
but only the first example I gave:
function call_func()
{
main_iframe.location = "test_html.html";
}
doesn't work for Netscape only.

Thanks :)

The owner of Netscape, AOL, discontinued all support of all versions
of Netscape many months ago including security updates. I have removed
Netscape browsers from my computer. However I think you should be more
concerned about Firefox. Many once loyal Netscape users now use
Firefox, or Seamonkey if they want a complete suite much like the
Netscape ones. It might also be well to check on the Opera browser.
Firefox browsers now likely are the most used browsers after IE ones,
so good response on Firefox is a must. Since the most recent Netscape
browsers were based on Firefox, it is more than likely that a problem
with a recent Netscape browser might be met on a Firefox browser also.

Thanks.

For the issue :
document.getElementById("main_iframe").src = "test.html";
.... has solved the problem, and is compatible for all current browsers.

For several browser I have :
IE 5.5 and later versions (until 7.0).
I think IE 4.0 is not in used so much, and many new sites doesn't work on
that version.
Safari 3.1.2.
Netscape 9.

I should install the firefox, new google . BTW I don't find it, even in
google ;o)

I know some navigators are based on prior navigators, such as MOZILA,
so I think it's a good check if I install MOZILA.

I don't satisfied of IE 7 - it is too too heavy, even on core2due.

Thanks :)

Where did yu look for it? Have you tried to google with "google
browser"? Remember occam's razor. If you don't know what's that, google
"occam's razor".

IE4, a browser war era browser, does not support
document.getElementById and neither does the 4 version of Netscape.
Anyone who uses secure sites likely would soon find they could not get
many unless they update from these old browsers. Both browsers now
likely are potential security risks, but hackers likely will not
trouble themselves trying to hack them because so few of these
browsers are still used.

Safari 3.1.2.
Netscape 9.

The Mozilla org has discontinued support of the Mozilla browser. It is
replaced by their Firefox. Those who want a complete suite often like
Seamonkey which is based on the Firefox browser with a lot of extras,
much as Netscape browser once had.

If Mozilla confuses, it was once part of Netscape but split away and
is now an organization by itself. Funding is contributed from a
variety of sources. It would nearly take a lawyer to explain the
complicated history of Mozilla.
I don't satisfied of IE 7 - it is too too heavy, even on core2due.

Perhaps you will like IE8 more, which is now in beta - and perhaps
not. If you want something really heavy, just install the Microsoft
Vista OS if your computer will accept it :).

What has William Of Ockham got to do Firefox?

He used a different one and not even related to Mozilla. It was known at
the time as The Franciscan Browser and the reigning English monarchs of
the time (Boniface VIII et al) decreed death to anyone who used any
other browser.

This was the driving force behind Ockham's fondness for simplicity and
oneness and less is more. Fear drove him and fear drove the scientific
world from then on to make do with as little as possible.

I assume X had trouble finding Google Chrome, not FF.

BTW, have you seen my razor?
