Layers don`t show and hide with Mozilla and Netscape

[heinz.meier@justmail.de webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi,

I am trying to make layers visibel / hidden with onMouseOver/onMouseOut .
But the Code DW generates works only with IE.
Any suggestion ?

function MM_showHideLayers() { //v3.0

for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) if ((obj=MM_findObj(args))!=null) { v=args[i+2];
if (obj.style) { obj=obj.style; v=(v=='show')?'visible':(v='hide')?'hidden':v; }
obj.visibility=v; }
}
}

function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v3.0
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers.document); return x;
}

Yes. Upgrade to Dreamweaver MX. You're using Dreamweaver 3, as the following
function shows.

DW3 can't be expected to cope with browsers and functions that didn't exist
when it was released.

Your scripts are from DW3.0, and those are not compatible with Mozilla and Mozilla based (Netscape 6+) browsers.

Well, i have dreamweaver mx and the version of the findObj function is 4.01,
and the drag layer behavior is not working on mozilla 1.4 and 1.3 (and i
asumme netscape 7 either).

hi,

bur dreamweaver 4+MX generate exactly the same code.
the only differnce is the version number (4.0/5.0 instead of 3.0)

the JavaScript-Code is exactly the same:

function MM_showHideLayers() {
var i,p,v,obj,args=MM_showHideLayers.arguments;
for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) if ((obj=MM_findObj(args))!=null) { v=args[i+2];
if (obj.style) { obj=obj.style; v=(v=='show')?'visible':(v='hide')?'hidden':v; }
obj.visibility=v; }
}

This specific compatibility problem is caused by the MM_findObj() function, and the 4.0 version is not compatible yet either.

But for DW4/UD4 there is a free update available to upgrade Dreamweaver to version 4.01 and that upgrade also upgrades MM_findObj() from 4.0 to 4.01.
And from that release on it's Mozilla/Netscape6+ compatible.

I guess that's a problem of the Drag Layer behavior then, and not of the MM_findObj() function.

Hi i have now an working version of the "findObj":

function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers.document);
if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}

I´ve tested it with mozilla 1.4, firebird 0.6, oper 7.11 and IE 5.5; all working

another possibility to solve the problem:

dont`t use the DW-Scripts. Take this one:
--------
var ie= ((document.all)&&(!document.layers)) ? true : false;
var ns= ((document.layers)&&(!document.getElementById)) ? true : false;
var moz= ((document.getElementById)&&(!document.all)) ? true : false;

function showLayers(div) { //v0.1
if(ie) {document.all[div].style.visibility="visible";}
if(ns) {document.layers[div].visibility="show";}
if(moz) {document.getElementById(div).style.visibility="vi sible";}
}


function hideLayers(div) { //v0.1
if(ie) (document.all[div].style.visibility="hidden")
if(ns) (document.layers[div].visibility="hide")
if(moz) (document.getElementById(div).style.visibility="hi dden")

}
--------

you need to find the "toggle layers extention". It's free and works in most
browsers I've tested it in.
