While it has options to do that, many of the objects (yes, jscript and javascript are OO) have different methods, properties and even different ways to call and/or pass values to those methods from browser to browser. It is, like a previous post said, a HELL, it was never standard, and I bet it won't ever be, so, there are scripts called cross-browser, that check for your browser and version and call the scripts the way your browser understands it. A web page that was trully WELL designed, first, tries to NEVER use such unportable stuff, and if they MUST, they code it for cross-browser compatibility, its not hard, its just annoying, but many sites just don't do that. The problem is that most people develop using their browser to preview content, so, it looks good on THEIR browser, not necessarily with yours. In the old times when I used to make DHTML with IE, Netscape and Opera installed so I could spent a whole afternoon playing with absolute positions and cursing the developers, thank god now I work with something else. > John > -- > [email protected] mailing list > > -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
