Re: Javascript and browser compatability -- WEB400

Many thanks for your response.

The trouble is that onMouseover, onClick and createPopup are only supported by IE.

An extract from my code, generated by my product ERROS, that works in IE is

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> var popup=window.createPopup(); var num; var colour; var session=(document.getElementById('SESSION').value); javascript:window.history.forward(1); colour = "cyan"; void(document.bgColor='C0C0C0'); function fd() {var buttonname = session + "/BUTTON.999-999=*E"; document.getElementById(buttonname).click()} function fm(msg) {popup.document.body.style.backgroundColor="yellow"; if (msg=='1') {msgtxt="Double left click on link to navigate"} else if (msg=='2') {msgtxt="Double click to continue"} else if (msg=='3') {msgtxt="Double click to Navigate or Single click and then select option"} else if (msg=='4') {msgtxt="Double click to continue or Single click and then select option"} else {msgtxt="Hover over highlighted links or images for instructions"} popup.document.body.innerHTML=msgtxt; popup.show(12,274,600,20, document.body)}function fr(num) {document.getElementById('AFIELD.007-016').value = num} fm(9) </SCRIPT> <STYLE>A:link {color:blue;text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold;} A:visited {color:blue;text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold;} A:hover {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold;}</STYLE>

<A href="#" ONMOUSEOVER="fm(4)" onDblClick="fr(50); fd()" ONCLICK="fr(50); fm(4)"; onmouseout="fm(9)";> James Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham,</A>

I have chosen a link in an historical site that I am building but it could be anything. When you hover over this link, you have a choice of options and the popup tells you this. The appropriate option is selected by clicking on a button. The browser does not return a URL to ERROS but, in this case, the number "50" which ERROS knows is the 50th item of data sent to the browser. There are no stored URL's except for images hence href="#".

This (and much more) is put into the 5250 datastream by ERROS which allows me to use AS/400 WSG to provide a full point and click interface without (as yet) having written any CGI code or anything else. It works for any application built using ERROS.

I would like to get it to work under later Netscape and Firefox.

Many thanks

Rob,

For the most part JS that works in one works in the other. You hit some
strangeness in how you address forms, but you can isolate that. Can you
post the code that isn't working? Also, define "Netscape" Are you
willing to restrict to newer Netscapes, or do you need to support 4.78?

Subject: [WEB400] Javascript and browser compatability

Thanks to the help of kind people on this list, I was able to get an onMouseOver and an onClick to trigger a createPopup, and this works well

in IE. I would like to get a similiar function to work in Netscape and Firefox (ideally to create code that works for all browsers!)

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Many thanks

Rob Dixon
