Hi, can anyone tell me why this workes cool in IE but not in mozzila and NS7:

<script LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>

function show_help( name )
{

alert('im not netscape');
var HelpLayer = document.getElementById(name)
HelpLayer.style.position='absolute';


HelpLayer.style.left=window.event.clientX - window.event.offsetX + 10 + document.body.scrollLeft;


HelpLayer.style.top=window.event.clientY - ( window.event.offsetY + 2 ) + document.body.scrollTop;

}

function ShowGap (name){

var HelpGap = document.getElementById('HelpGap'+name);

h = eval(&quot;document.getElementById(name).offsetHeight&quot
HelpGap.style.width=1;
HelpGap.style.height=h;
}

function hide_help( name )
{
var thisElement = document.getElementById(name)

var thisElement = document.getElementById(name)
thisElement.style.position='absolute';
thisElement.style.left='-2000';
thisElement.style.top='-400';

}

</SCRIPT>

I would immediately change all occurences of

( name )

to

(name)

I would also use something other than &quot;name&quot;, as I believe it is a reserved browser tag. You could use &quot;ControlName&quot; and avoid any trouble that way.

Cheers,

Still not working. But I think I have isolated the problem to the fact that Mozzila does not seam to be happy with:

window.event.clientX

???

event.clientX

.
