Witango-Talk: JS $%^%^ Browser issue

[Shane Pearlman]

Two questions:   1. Is there a way in Witango to get the users browser and store it in a Witango var before processing the code – something like USER_AGENT?   2. This should be the most basic thing and yet I can’t seem to get it to behave. IE refuses to create a layer object and let me reference it. Says it is null and void.   Works fine in Firefox/Netscape   Eval() statement fails in IE .. browser complains stating the _expression_ return undefined or null as if the layer doesn’t exist. Can anyone see off hand what I am missing?   I even tried a direct command and it fails - document.all['Custom'].style.visibility = "visible";   Same error!   WTF!?!  =)   I dumped a bunch of the code below:   [JS Header Code]   <!-- if (document.layers){               //Netscape 4 specific code                           pre = 'document.';                          post = '';              }              if (document.getElementById){              //Netscape & Firefox specific code                          pre = 'document.getElementById("';                           post = '").style';              }              if (document.all){              //IE specific code                          pre = 'document.all.';                          post = '.style'; }                var currentLayer = 'Custom';                                       function showLayer(layer){                          eval(pre + currentLayer + post).visibility = 'hidden';                          eval(pre + layer + post).visibility = 'visible';                          currentLayer = layer;  }       Second option was: (made no difference)   if (document.all){ //IE4+ specific code             pre = 'document.all['; post = '].style'; }       [Body Code]     <script language="_javascript_"> if (navigator.appName == "Netscape") {              document.write('<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=509 height=23><tr><td height=23><div id="SubMenu"><div id="Custom"><img src="" width=509 height=23 border=0 name="Custom"></div><div id="Tiara"><img src="" width=509 height=23 border=0 name="Tiara"></div><div id="Repair"><img src="" width=509 height=23 border=0 name="Repair"></div><div id="About"><img src="" width=509 height=23 border=0 name="About"></div></div></td></tr></table>')              } else              {              document.write('<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=509 height=34><tr><td height=7><img src="" width=509 height=7 border=0></td></tr><tr><td height=23><div id="SubMenu"><div id="Custom"><img src="" width=509 height=23 border=0 name="Custom"></div><div id="Tiara"><img src="" width=509 height=23 border=0 name="Tiara"></div><div id="Repair"><img src="" width=509 height=23 border=0 name="Repair"></div><div id="About"><img src="" width=509 height=23 border=0 name="About"></div></div></td></tr><tr><td height=6><img src="" width=509 height=6 border=0></td></tr></table>')              } </script> --> ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf
