<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't know how to solve your problem except to
suggest that Netscape 4x uses layers. Your code works fine in Netscape 7, by
the way, except that I can't get the actual songs. And it's a very cool
idea. I really like it!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am new to the group. I know a little about
JavaScript, but not all that much.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have made a multi-language Christian song index.
Here is the URL, so that folks can look and see what I am talking about: <A
href="http://www.volstate.net/~fisher/hymnintl">http://www.volstate.net/~fisher/hymnintl</A>
The top frame has alphabet buttons that show the first letters of the
songs in the chosen language that are in the index. With English, for
example, all the letters except X are displayed, because there are English
songs that begin with every letter except X. I don't think this works
in Netscape, however, because I don't know how to make the buttons disappear
in Netscape. Perhaps I could use some other technique in Netscape to
indicate that certain letters are not available.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>To include Russian, I wanted to use the same set of
buttons, but just change the letter that was displayed. I tried
changing the "Value" associated with the button, but this didn't work.
I tried loading a different htm into the top frame, but I didn't
manage. Finally, I created a set of buttons that will show only
when the language chosen uses the Cyrillic alphabet. So, if you
choose Russian (and perhaps in the future Bulgarian, Ukrainian or Serbian),
the Roman alphabet disappears and the Cyrillic one becomes visible.
But, if you choose a language like English that uses the Roman alphabet, the
Cyrillic one disappears. In order to make the additional set of
buttons visible I had to increase the size of the top window, which
decreases the size of the bottom window.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>So far, it works pretty well, except that my HTML editor
doesn't like my command to display Russian, which is: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> <META http_equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html" charset="ISO-8859-5"></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>However, this is the only command I have discovered that
makes Internet Explorer display Russian consistently. I tried using a
different one I found, that included charset as part of content.
HoTMetaL liked that command, but Internet Explorer did strange things with
it. Would Unicode apply to my situation, and if so, how do you use
it?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If I want to include other alphabets later on, such
as Korean, Hebrew or Arabic, and if I still can not change the display on
the buttons, and still can not load a different htm into the top frame, and
don't want to make the top frame any larger, is there a way to make scroll
bar on the top frame programmatically scroll down to the alphabet buttons
for the related language?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks in advance for any help.</FONT></DIV>
