Hi DM,

I'm a bit tied up this weekend (figuratively speaking); if things loosen up next week, I'll see what I can do.

Thanks vinny but that is a bit over my head to do that. I wouldn't even know where to begin.

Morning people

1)Jack, I must defer to: Archangel Michael vs the Lord of Light (aka Lucifer)
2)DM, sounds good to me
but it really has more to do with:
the blades of grass cut me still
a few lines (add appropriate crlfs
in a poem I wrote years ago.
3) I didn't download your site, so I don't know how you are displaying the menu.

Insofar as layers & absolute positioning:
yes, nn4 requires it;
yes, it's a pain;
yes, there are workarounds.

you can try embedding the layer/div within an ilayer -- nn4 will be the only browser to recognize the html, you will need to modify the accessing -- document.layers[ilayerID].document.layers[layerID].etc..
The ilayer can be positioned relatively and the layer absolutely (0,0) within it.

Hey Vinny,

I just had someone look at the ettfire.com site on netscape and the problem is the positioning. It is showing up, it is just in the wrong place. The menu is covering up the logo. Do you know anything about layers, absolute positioning and NS and how I might fix this?

Opps! I didn't notice that. Well, I said, "in disquise".
Speaking of sword--what is the meaning of your sword Vinny? Is that for chopping code?

I don't think Vinny is an angel... otherwise he would be the first one with a sword in his avatar

Oh, are you my angel in disguise?

I use Explorer so I don't know the specific error. I think that it just doesn't show up. Here is the link to the site in question if that helps.
ETTFire

You can view the threads where it was critiqued after I did the menu upgrade.
Dreaded menu thread

Here is the link the the guy that created the menu.

I believe that this one is going to take some thought to figure out so if you bum out on me that is no problem.:ezbill:

I know that all here wish that was no such thing as disaster master and dhtml....hehehe

Hi dm,

Quote: I am going to see if I can figure out how to do a "detect/direct with javascript".

if (document.layers)
location.href='nn4page.html'

re the menu itself: may I ask what specific error you got with nn4?

Your correct DM, I goofed, but you could still use that script, in plain english:

if your browser is this, use this menu
else if your browser is this, use the this other menu

you can just use an if/else statement to choose on browser detection keeping it to one page instead of two, you'll probably be better off to include the menus in .js files (seperate javascript files) and call them on the if/else
if they have javascript turned off thou they wont get any menu so maybe add a default or plain html menu in noscript tags

the joys of DHTML
