drop down box not working in FireFox when on DIV

T

tpaulson

I have a couple of DIV's that I hide/display based on radio buttons.
On the DIV's, I have multiple drop down boxes. The source shows that
they are populated, but I can't make them drop down. Only click on the
Unplatted Radio button, the rest isn't functional, yet. Any ideas how
to make these drop down in FF. This works in IE. Here is the code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Door County Register of Deeds - Tract Inquiry</TITLE>

<script>
var ifsdir='/rerv10f';

function goList(btnName,hdnName,hdnValue)
{
if (hdnName!='') {
var hdnVar=eval('document.forms[0].'+hdnName);
hdnVar.value=hdnValue;
}
document.forms[0].BUTTON.value=btnName;
document.forms[0].submit();
}
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

// function switchDiv()
// this function takes the id of a div
// and calls the other functions required
// to show that div
//
function switchDiv(div_id)
{
var style_sheet = getStyleObject(div_id);
if (style_sheet)
{
hideAll();
changeObjectDisplay(div_id,"inline");
}
else
{
alert("sorry, this only works in browsers that do Dynamic HTML");
}
}

// function hideAll()
// hides a bunch of divs
//
function hideAll()
{
changeObjectDisplay("unplat","none");
changeObjectDisplay("plat","none");
changeObjectDisplay("condo","none");
changeObjectDisplay("map","none");
}

// function getStyleObject(string) -> returns style object
// given a string containing the id of an object
// the function returns the stylesheet of that object
// or false if it can't find a stylesheet. Handles
// cross-browser compatibility issues.
//
function getStyleObject(objectId) {
// checkW3C DOM, then MSIE 4, then NN 4.
//
if(document.getElementById && document.getElementById(objectId)) {
return document.getElementById(objectId).style;
}
else if (document.all && document.all(objectId)) {
return document.all(objectId).style;
}
else if (document.layers && document.layers[objectId]) {
return document.layers[objectId];
} else {
return false;
}
}

function changeObjectDisplay(objectId, newVisibility) {
// first get a reference to the cross-browser style object
// and make sure the object exists
var styleObject = getStyleObject(objectId);
if(styleObject) {
styleObject.display = newVisibility;
return true;
} else {
// we couldn't find the object, so we can't change its visibility
return false;
}

I have a couple of DIV's that I hide/display based on radio buttons.
On the DIV's, I have multiple drop down boxes. The source shows that
they are populated, but I can't make them drop down. Only click on the
Unplatted Radio button, the rest isn't functional, yet. Any ideas how
to make these drop down in FF. This works in IE.

Use valid HTML and don't depend on error correction (see below).

Please indent code using 2 or 4 spaces and manually wrap lines at
about 70 characters. That will prevent auto-wrapping which nearly
always introduces more errors that not only make helping you more
difficult, buy may mask your problem.

Whether or not a browser supports your 'getStyleObject' function is
not a sufficient test to determine whether it supports 'Dynamic HTML'

A better statement would be;

'Sorry, my script does not support your browser'.

A single call to document.write would be far more efficient,
particularly when you are writing bits of a table in different statements:

document.write(
'<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"',
' width="100%" height="85" bordercolor="white">',
'<tr><td width="15%">&nbsp;</td>',

...

'</TR></TABLE>'

Missing closing tag on TR.

As always, start by validating your HTML. There may be other errors.

Hmmm. W3C DOM Level 2 HTML does not define an unlimited number of
arguments for the HTMLDocument::write() method, only one. A UA may
or may not implement more. From past experience, I recommend to use
only one argument. And, of course, ETAGO delimiters MUST be escaped
within CDATA content.

document.write([
'<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"',
' width="100%" height="85" style="border-color:white">',
'<tr><td width="15%">&nbsp;<\/td>',
...,
'<\/tr><\/table>'
].join("\n"));

(I like .join("\n") instead of .join("") because it makes generated
code easier legible when retrieved.)
