problems with non ie browsers

[Ross]

Hi,

I have a problem with non ie browsers

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function(){
var strCook = document.cookie;
if(strCook.indexOf("!~")!=0){
var intS = strCook.indexOf("!~");
var intE = strCook.indexOf("~!");
var strPos = strCook.substring(intS+2,intE);
document.getElementById("menu_holder_inside").scrollTop = strPos;
}
}
function SetDivPosition(){
var intY = document.getElementById("menu_holder_inside").scrollTop;
// document.title = intY;
document.cookie = "yPos=!~" + intY + "~!";
}


The follwing function shou;d return a DIV to its positon before

Your problem is with scrollTop. One of three separate routines need to
be used to get it correctly. IE will behave differently in quirksmode
to strict mode, other browsers differently again. The following should
help:

Make it instead of .scrollTop, .pageYOffset for mozilla, same property.

Rubbish. pageYOffset is for the window object only.

That reference is regarding the browser window viewport scrolling, not
an element which is clearly the case here. The OP says and wants to
store the inside scroll position/view of an element id-ed as
"menu_holder_inside". Nowhere do I see any reference to the inner
browser window viewport.

Not so clear to me, though it did occur to me later that maybe that's
what the OP was after. But cold beer beckoned...

Thanks, that's gotta be the best documented undocumented feature I've
ever come across! :-x

Ok.

There was a filed bug. I took assignment and re-did or updated all the
pages referring to these properties.

Well, that image

and that page

were already available. scrollTop is ok for all elements which can
render scrollbars.
