innerText = unknown to NN4.7 ?!!!!!???

[IonelBurtan]

That is another one guys.
Yes, the same problem. Works in IE5 but no way in NN4.7. I had made all possible changes I had in mind to the following code, no positive outcome.
(does this NNx knows DHTML - I'm beggining to wonder)

{never mind the romanian text and var names}

//this is inside a function
.....
case 0:
{
alert("I am in"
Descrierea.innerText="Sonar Web Server 1.2.0 - Web Server bazat pe tehnologia Windows Socket"
AppId=0;
break;
.....

where Descrierea is a <TD> declared like this in the body:

<TABLE ROWSPAN=2>
<TR><TD width = 170>&nbsp</TD>
<FONT face=cursive color=#ffdead>
<TD name=&quot;Descrierea&quot; id=&quot;Descrierea&quot;>{Selecteaza o aplicatie pentru a vedea descrierea ei}</TD>
</FONT>
</TR>

The bolded line, where I have the problem works just fine in IE5, but in nn4.6 it tells me either that &quot;Descrierea is not defined&quot; or that &quot;Descrierea has no properties&quot; in javascript error console.

I know that NN does not have a document.all so how can I solve the problem and change the innnerText of my <TD> from inside the function.

Thanks in advance, s-)

Netscape 4.x does not give you access to the innerText or InnerHTML properties of an HTML element. In fact, Netscape 4.x doesn't really allow for a true &quot;object oriented&quot; way of working with HTML, so it will not offer many of the same things that you can do on IE 4+, or Netscape 6, or mozilla, etc... All of these browsers conform at least partially to the Document Object Model specifications of the World Wide Web Consortium (

http://www.w3c.org/).

So Netscape 4.x is not capable of giving you complete programming control over the HTML that is rendered to the browser. There are workarounds to get 90% of that functionality, but they can be a pain to figure out. There is a good attempt to do this with the &quot;Cross-Browser Dynamic API&quot;, at

http://dynapi.sourceforge.net/dynapi/

I recommend you check out the link above, and see how to use it's methods to get similar functionality in Netscape 4.x.
