getElementById and Firefox

T

the other john

I came across a third party script I want to learn how to configure as
well as learn more dhtml in the doing. I'm not much of a JS guy yet
but I'm working on it.

This script works fine in IE6 but is a dead fish in FireFox. There is
no support offered on the site where it came from. I'd really
appreciate help with this as it will not only to get it working but to
learn how it all works so I can add it to my repertoire.

Thanks!

Click to expand...

After I removed extra wraps in two long comment lines, it works fine in
Firefox 1.5: means on hover it opens menu, on out it closes it. I don't
know if it supposes to do anything else, but this it does.

In the posted code you had:

// very very long comment line

which was wrapped as

// very very long
comment line

and it was breaking the parser.

The corrected code is posted below (I hope it will not be wrapped once
again somewhere) .
For future references: Firefox has a very nice JavaScript console. Next
time something is wrong, try first:
1) Tool > JavaScript Console
2) Most probably it will be filled up with different errors from
different pages you collected while browsing the far-of-being-perfect
Web :)
So first press Clear, close the console, reload the offending page and
open the console again. Now it will contain the errors just registered
for this page.

ok...here's a url to the source..
http://getelementbyid.com/scripts/index.aspx?CodeID=32#

you'll have to view it in IE to see what it does however.....
Click to expand...

<q>This menubar display regular sub menu for NS6+ and 25 differents
transitions effects for IE5+.</q>

It means that it's claimed to work as menu for NS6+ AND as menu with 25
different extra goodies in IE5 or higher. On the very first look it
does what is promised. You still have a working menu in Firefox. Of
course you don't have any transition effects there, because they are
achieved over filters which are supported by IE only.

Oooh....so that's what it is....so I can't get the transitions to work
out of IE...that's a drag. ;-P so much for learning something useful.
If I can't do it in both IE and FF then it's not going to help me much.


anything out there like this that works with FF?

thanks!
