[thelist] cross browser dhtml help wanted

[nate koechley]

hey jelle,

actually, i'm not sure it's working perfectly in IE afterall.  (i'm on 
win2Kpro, IE5.50.4522.1800). (you're getting there though, good work.)

comment one:
symptoms: when i mouseOver "Visibility", i see a layer appear with two 
links in it. but, i can't click either of the links, because as soon as i 
mouseOut of "Visibility", en route to the links, the links disappear.

but, that aside, here's some thoughts:

comment two:
you currently have:
<DIV ID="d2Div" class="dropdown2">

what you might consider:
<DIV ID="d2Div" name="d2Div" class="dropdown2">

why? because [i think] netscape will only reference an element by name, not 
ID. so, put both in, and you'll keep more browsers happy.

comment three:
you currently have:
<TD onmouseover="show('d3Div'); this.bgColor='#e7946b'" 
onmouseout="hide('d3Div'); this.bgColor='#339900'" class="dropdTD1">
         <a href="">link 1</a>

what you might consider:
<TD>
         <a href=""onmouseover="show('d3Div'); this.bgColor='#e7946b'" 
onmouseout="hide('d3Div'); this.bgColor='#339900'" class="dropdTD1">link 1</a>

why? because capturing events, like "onmouseover", is much more reliable 
from within an <A> than within a <TD>.

HTH,
cheers,
nate
