That page is using only document.all and not document.getElementById
that is required by the newer Mozilla family browsers including the
latest versions of Firefox, Mozilla, and Netscape. Hence the floating
dhtml effect does not work on these browsers. However IE browsers from
at least IE4 to IE6 support document.all and thus the effect can be
seen, at least on IE6. But recent IE browsers also support
document.getElementById, so this modern code should also work on IE6.
Also the code worked for me on the most recent Opera browser which
supports modern code, but also much old IE code including document.all.
There could be other things in the code that will work only on IE
browsers and Opera - I did not have time to check the code in detail.
Be sure to remove all of the Angelfire ad code which is clearly marked
in the source code. If you put your version back up on Angelfire, they
will put more ads back in on a free account. If they still sell a pay
account, it may be ad free. Getting this code to work well on a variety
of browsers could require quite a bit of work.
If you like these types of dynamic effects, you might find something
you like just as well at
www.dynamicdrive.com that will work on several
browsers and that likely would require little effort to install on a
page of your own.
By the way, Angelfire is cookie city. I had Opera set to ask before
accepting a cookie. I nearly wore my fingers out at Angelfire rejecting
the cookies they attempted to set. I had to reject over 20 attempts,
but they finally gave up. Also some popups were rejected. So clean out
your cookies after visiting Angelfire. Tripod has much the same setup
as Angelfire. Considering the amount of ad code including popups that
Angelfire puts on free pages, this likely could slow things down quite
a bit if you have a rather slow dialup connection.
