Re: Has Netscape problems with <div> position:relative???

Netscape uses the <Layer> tag as opposed to IE using the DIV tag. seperate
browser compliant scripts have to be used after determining which browser
the client is using.

for Netscape :

if(document.layers) {document.write("<LAYER ID='lyr' top='15' left='170'
width='100' height='50' z-index='10' bgColor='silver'
visibility='visible'>Layer</LAYER>");

for IE :

if(document.all) {document.write("<DIV ID='lyr' STYLE='position:absolute;
top:15px; left:170px; width:100px; height:50px; z-index:10;
background-color:silver; visibility:visible'>Layer</DIV>");

The onmouseover HREF attribute would include a call to the function name ,
in this example 'mouseoverchange()'


function mouseoverchange() {

if(document.layers)

document.lyrname.width = 220 ;
document.lyrname.top = 530 ;
document.lyrname.left = 220; }
if(document.all)

lyrname.style.width = 220 ;
lyrname.style.top = 530 ;
lyrname.style.left = 220; }
}

I hope this is what you were asking :)

Angie
