Netscape 6 Compatibility Issue

[halo]

The mouseovers on this page... http://12.31.124.150 ...work fine in Explorer 5.5 and Netscape 4.08, but don't seem to work on Netscape 6. If anyone has any idea why, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks.

It seems like you have alot of excess javascript to do the things that you need. You have a separate preload script, when the Macromedia code that you have will do the same thing. You need to go one way or the other...either use Dreamweaver to make your code, or hard code it yourself. There are too many scripts trying to do the same thing, and Netscape 6 is very touchy with javascript.

I'm trying to re-do a page someone else had done. They used the Dreamweaver rollovers, which don't work very well at all.

Then take them out and write your own code, you could probably do it in a quarter of the amount of code that Macromedia uses!

I took out some of the code and I still get the same result. Works fine in IE 5.5 and N 4.08, but the rollovers don't work in Netscape 6.

halo,

Curious one this, but it appears that you can't use 'netscape' as a variable name in N6. Change your variable 'netscape' to something else and see if it works.

I'm not sure whether this applies to other versions of Netscape.

Ok, I changed the variable from Netscape and that seems to work, but the rollover is not as smooth in Netscape 6... http://12.31.124.150

I think this a problem with N6 and it's caching. The page looks ok in Opera 5 which is problably the best 'test' browser.

Yeah, I think it's that and the fact that the staging site it's on is extremely slow at times. Nothing I can do about that, though. Thanks.
