Hello, I hope someone can help!!
I have some code to produce a random background image which is pulled in to the TD tag using an ID="bgimage1" statement - this works great on IE, however I need it to work on Netscape 4!
Is this because of the ID or the getElementById?
This is the JS statement:
document.getElementById(`bgimage1`).style.background = `url(` + image1[titleIndex] + `)`;
image1[titleIndex] is the random part
Please help!
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew.
Here some handy code you can use to reference an object safely in any browser.
Rather than using document.getElementById(`id`), document.all[`id`], etc. You can use findDOM(`id`, 0) or findDOM(`id`, 1).
findDOM(`object`), 0) is like document.object
and findDOM(`object`, 1) is like document.object.style
The function just uses the supported DOM type for the browser and returns the object reference; getElementById, Layers or All. Browser details are first stored in global variables so you can use them elsewhere.
You should put the follow code in a .JS file so you can easily move it around and include it into pages.
Hope it helps you and anyone else out.
Cheers,
James

Here it is... (Just trying to deal with the dodgy Codetoad.com forum.).
Remove the remove the /`s from any "pa//rseInt", stupid forum.
var isDHTML = 0;
var isID = 0;
var isAll = 0;
var isLayers = 0;
if(document.getElementById)
{
isID = 1;
isDHTML = 1;
}
else
{
if(document.all)
{
isAll = 1;
isDHTML = 1;
}
else
{
browserVersion = pa//rseInt(navigator.appVersion);
if((navigator.appName.indexOf(`Netscape`) != -1) && (browserVersion == 4))
{
isLayers = 1;
isDHTML = 1;
}
}
}
function findDOM(objectID, withStyle)
{
if (withStyle == 1)
{
if (isID)
{
return (document.getElementById(objectID).style);
}
else
{
if (isAll)
{
return (document.all[objectID].style);
}
else
{
if (isLayers)
{
return (document.layers[objectID]);
}
}
}
}
else
{
if (isID)
{
return (document.getElementById(objectID));
}
else
{
if (isAll)
{
return (document.all[objectID]);
}
else
{
if (isLayers)
{
return (document.layers[objectID]);
}
}
}
}
}
