Netscape doesnt recognise "id"?

[BootySlap]

Im just creating a simple menu something like this:

<div id="popout">
blahblah
</div>

<a href=blah onmouseover="popout.style.visibility='visible';" onmouseout="popout.style.visibility='hidden';">

Now moving over the link makes the popout menu visible in Opera and IE, but NN7 doesnt make it visible! i.e it seems its having trouble recognising the popout id because it works for "this.style...."

Any ideas or need a better explanation?

Cheers!

Maybe try this:

document.getElementById(popout).style.visibility = 'visible';

thanks but still no workies :(

and that doesnt work in IE.

<a href=blah onmouseover="popout.style.visibility='visible';" onmouseout="popout.style.visibility='hidden';"> 

NN7 is notoriously 'picky'. Could it be that your href value is unquoted?

it works guys thanks i missed the ' in the function

document.getElementById('popout').style.visibility

No idea why you have that problem, but Netscape most definately does recognise both the id and class attributes.

My apology. I missed them.
