Re: [Dynapi-Help] Accessing layer properties in NS4

[Mark Pratt]

Richard, I'm pretty certain you can't change table cell attributes on-the-fly in Netscape 4 regardless of DynAPI. What I mean is even if you give a table cell in NS an ID I don't think you'll be able to access it using myLayer.doc.tableCellId.anyAttribute it should just fail gracefully, bbut should work OK in browsers that support it like IE. Incidentally, myLayer.doc.formname.formelement.value works fine for me in NS. Mark.     Richard Bennett wrote: But this is .doc.all which was supposed to work, see this quote from the faq:  6.4. Accessing form elements in layers DynLayers can contain form elements or images, in some cases you'll need to be able to retrieve values from these form elements or set the image source. This can be done using the .doc property of a layer. This property refers to the layer's document. So to access a form in a layer this is basically how to do it:   myLayer.doc.formname.formelement.value  myLayer.doc.images['imagename'].src=newsource or setting an image's source: Note that in IE the image array is a global array, so you can't use the name "thisimage" in two different layers. </quote> So is the faq wrong? as I can't get this to work in NS.

NS has no document.all property!! I also assume that what you supplied is a cut down fragment of your code, because that is totally incorrect!!! Try doing the same thing using the setHTML method of a dynlayer, and redraw your table inside your dynlayer onMouseOver your link. That will work.

Pre-dynAPI this would work:         <table>                 <tr><td id="myCell" bgColor="#ffffff">                         <a href="#" #000000"> I've tried using myLayer.doc.all.myCell which works fine in IE, but can't get anything going in NS. What am I doing wrong?
