Hmmm, you could just ensure that it's always visible in older NS, then you wouldn't lose any functionality. Is that not possible?

I agree, I don't really pay much attention to the older versions anymore, but for this particular site, everything else works, albeit with a loss of some functions, but it does work. Therefore, for something small like this, why render the remainder of the application useless?

Don't even bother trying to write compatible code for old versions of Netscape, nobody uses it anymore! As long as your code works in Internet Explorer 5+, Mozilla/Firefox and Opera you've got 99.9% of the market covered and the other .1%

The newer versions of netscape use the mozilla rendering engine so anything tested and working in mozilla should work in the newer versions of Netscape.

Thanks for the reply dk,
I updated the code and went in the direction of the togle instead. I set the visability to hidden for default and now it will show and hide in all but NN 4.78. I will probably just exclude NN 4.## from the code and default the visabilty to show.

Just wanted to let you know your code helped.

The only images should be in the header of the page. If this is a problem let me know and I could post a mockup, but this would require a little bit manipulating.

Thanks,

Can you post a live version instead of just code? The problem is that I don't have any of the images so it looks really odd.

Thanks for the reply.

Here is the code with which I am working on. Essentially I am trying to get the shaded RESUME section to show and hide by clicking on a button. I have been successful in some attempts, but nothing that works very well in NN. I have also worked on both layers and divs but still haven't found a good alternative. Any suggestions would be helpful. Sorry for all the extra code.

Thanks

Here is some working code:

<?php
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\">
<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xml:lang=\"en\" lang=\"en\">
<head>
<title>An example of hiding and showing a row</title>
<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\" />
&lt;script language=\"Javascript\" type=\"text/javascript\"&gt;
function Toggle(elt) {
    if(document.getElementById(elt).style.display == \"none\") {
        document.getElementById(elt).style.display = \"block\";
    } else {
        document.getElementById(elt).style.display = \"none\";
    }
}
&lt;/script&gt;

<style type=\"text/css\">
table {
    width:100%;
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    }

table tr td, input {
    font-size: 8pt;
    font-family: Verdana, serif;
    }

.rows {
    display:block;
    }

#theTestRow {
    color:white;
    background: #c00;
    }
</style>
</head>

<body>
<table>
    <tr id=\"theControlRow\" class=\"rows\">
    <td><input type=\"button\" onclick=\"Toggle('theTestRow')\" value=\"Hide/Show\" /></td>
    </tr>
    
    <tr id=\"theTestRow\" class=\"rows\">
    <td>This is a test row.</td>
    </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
?>

This works in IE6 (although SP2 blocks some javascript), Firefox 1.0.1, NS 7.2. Some tips in the future:

Posting your entire code helps us ensure our advice is correct.
When you talk about browsers try to note what versions you are talking about.

I hope this code helps you!

You could put a div in the and have it hide/show, I think that's more cross compatible.

You might also look up the innerHTML Javascript function.
