Javascript & Netscape

[Adam]

I have a scrollbar that runs at the top of my page, I have it in a external
js file and call it in the head tags of the webpage code. can you one tell
me how to get this code to work with other browsers mainly Netscape 7 and
above. Currently it doesn't display.

this is the scroll bar code

Thanks

document.write('<marquee id="alertit"
style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0;background-color:"
onMouseover="this.scrollAmount=1"
onMouseout="this.scrollAmount=speed"></marquee>');



var themsg='<span style="font: 22px Arial;color:#FFCC66;"><b>Text Text
Text:</span>'
var speed=4
var loops=4

function populatescroller(){
var windowwidth=iecompattest().clientWidth
document.getElementById("alertit").innerHTML=themsg
document.getElementById("alertit").style.width=windowwidth
document.getElementById("alertit").scrollAmount=speed
document.getElementById("alertit").scrollDelay=20
document.getElementById("alertit").loop=loops
document.getElementById("alertit").onfinish=function(){
document.getElementById("alertit").style.visibility="hidden"
}
}

function iecompattest(){
return (document.compatMode!="BackCompat")? document.documentElement :
document.body
}

if (document.all && document.getElementById){
window.onload=populatescroller
window.onresize=populatescroller
}

var speed=4 var speed=4;
var loops=4 var loops=4;

function populatescroller(){
var windowwidth=iecompattest().clientWidth

var windowwidth=iecompattest().clientWidth;

document.getElementById("alertit").innerHTML=themsg document.getElementById("alertit").innerHTML=themsg;
document.getElementById("alertit").style.width=windowwidth

document.getElementById("alertit").style.width=windowwidth + 'px';

document.getElementById("alertit").scrollAmount=speed document.getElementById("alertit").scrollAmount=speed;
document.getElementById("alertit").scrollDelay=20;
document.getElementById("alertit").loop=loops;
document.getElementById("alertit").onfinish=function(){
document.getElementById("alertit").style.visibility="hidden"
}

This is an unknown, or at least proprietary event and does not work in IE 6 SP1 and Moz. 1.7

}

function iecompattest(){
return (document.compatMode!="BackCompat")? document.documentElement :
document.body
}

if (document.all && document.getElementById){

only IE and Opera know the proprietary document.all
so e.g. Mozilla and Netscape don't come here

window.onload=populatescroller
window.onresize=populatescroller
}

function setupMarquee() {
if (document.all || document.getElementById){
window.onresize=populatescroller;
populatescroller();
} else {
alert('Browser !=IE Browser != Opera');
}
}

After correcting some mistakes this code is working in IE 6.0 SP1 and Mozilla 1,7, hopefully in Opera too.
But I would apologize to implement your 'scrollbar' with DHTML without the proprietary '<marquee>', or even better
with one of the free Java-applets.

cu, Michael

I have a scrollbar that runs at the top of my page, [...]

You do not have a scrollbar (that is the GUI element to scroll the
document), you have horizontally scrolling text. For usabilities
sake, remove it. (Ask Google for details about "marquee".)
