Table bgcolor in layers

[freddydoesphp]

Ok here is the deal I am building a dhtml menu system and it works great in ie 4.0+ and nn6 but in nn4.7 the table background color inside the layers doesn't show up. It does in the other two have a look

Any Ideas?

Hey freddy,

I guess we should be chasing each other around since cat and dog

Anyway, NN 4 uses the bgColor property and not background-color. So in CSS styles, include that also, and with JavaScript, use bgColor isntead of backgroundColor.

I think that's your problem.

P.S>-Nice looking menu...

Thanks I'll give that a try! I really can't stand browser indifferences, my menu thankfully works in NN6 though

Sorry that didn't work any other thoughts?

Hey freddy,

I got two ideas that should work. First, I tested and style="bgColor..." doesn't work in NS. However, style="background-color..." does. So, you really have two choices that I'm pretty sure wourld. First, when you define the stuff for div1, div2, etc...

use:

td.background-color:...

not just background-color:...

Ok?

Now, that won't get the onmouseover thing to work in NS4, so here it goes:

What you gotta do is this (example):

original code

<td id="sub41" bgcolor="#eeeeee" onMouseOver="change_bg('sub41', '#ffffff')" onMouseOut="change_bg('sub41', '#eeeeee')"><a href="#" class="nav" onMouseOver="cleardelay(); " onMouseOut="navdelay(); "><img src="images/clear.gif" width="110" height="1" alt="" border="0"><br>
Add User</a></td>

New code for NS 4 compatibility:

<td id="sub41" bgcolor="#eeeeee" onMouseOver="change_bg('sub41', '#ffffff')" onMouseOut="change_bg('sub41', '#eeeeee')"><ilayer><layer bgcolor="#eeeeee" onmouseover="this.bgColor='#ffffff'" onmouseout="this.bgColor='#eeeeee'"><a href="#" class="nav" onMouseOver="cleardelay(); " onMouseOut="navdelay(); "><img src="images/clear.gif" width="110" height="1" alt="" border="0"><br>
Add User</a></layer></ilayer></td>

I knwo it's messy, but that's really the only way to change the background coor of a table cell in NS 4.


Hope that works/helps

did this help you?

Thanks for the suggestion I tried it but it seemed to break the rest of my script, so we decided that those with NN4 will not get the changing bgcolor only those with IE4+ and NN6 will, thanks again!
