OT: Javascript browser compatibility question.
Can anyone tell me WHY this won't work in NS6.1 but work fine in ie5-6, firefox and NS8?? document.getElementById(CurrentHighlightedCell).style.background='#006600'; CurrentHighlightedCell is a variable that contains the current id of the TD background color I am changing.

Re: OT: Javascript browser compatibility question.
if it's a literal ID value, then yes, he'd need quotes. I'm guessing it's a variable. Try backgroundColor (note the casing) instead of background.

Re: OT: Javascript browser compatibility question.
Well isn't NS6.1 odd It appears that BOTH my example and the new.backgroundColor example work and don't work... As if you couldn't tell this is a background cell changer. ...and this code is firing on the ONCLICK of each cell :) Here is the weirdness... Say I have 3 cells wide table... Each named menu_item1, menu_item2 and menu_item3 respectively. This code reverts the previous cell to the original cell color and is part of the code to chage the newly clicked cell to a different color.. document.getElementById (CurrentHighlightedCell).style.backgroundColor='#006600'; Say I click through each cell consecutively. menu_item1, menu_item2 and then menu_item3 it changes each cell to the new color and the code above CORRECLTY changes the color back on the previous cell. That works perfect. Now the weirdness.. Say I click on menu_item3, it changes menu_item1 back to the original color fine... but then I click on menu_item2, it DOES NOT change the color back on menu_item3 using the above code. I double checked and the variables are correct.. Very odd... IS there another DOM way to reference this?

RE: OT: Javascript browser compatibility question.
Jeff:
Barring a browser bug (which is certainly possible), the likely culprit is a
slight logic error with the JavaScript code. If you post the relevant code,
I'm sure the list can review it for you.
As to alternative ways of doing it, you might want to try change the cell's
Class instead of actually changing a style. This is more CSS-compliant and,
via CSS, much easier to modify later down the line. For example, you might
have the following CSS:
TD {
background-color: #006600;
}
TD.Highlighted {
background-color: #FF;
}
and the following JavaScript code:
document.getElementById(CurrentHighlightedCell).className = '';
document.getElementById(NewHighlightedCell).className = 'Highlighted';
This way, should you ever decide to change the color of the highlighted or
non-highlighted cells, you just have to change a couple of lines in the CSS
file(s).
