Parse JS in Div?

[MikeBarone]

Okay, we are trying to setup an array of javascript calls that will display in a DIV/LAYER/ILAYER at set intervals.

For example:
arrayItem[0] = &quot;<scr&quot;+&quot;ipt language=javascr&quot;+&quot;ipt>alert(\&quot;test1\&quot;</scr&quot;+&quot;ipt>&quot;;
arrayItem[1] = &quot;<scr&quot;+&quot;ipt language=javascr&quot;+&quot;ipt>alert(\&quot;test2\&quot;</scr&quot;+&quot;ipt>&quot;;

Then using setTimeout we move through the lint off array items displaying the code in a crossbrowser DIV configuration.

<ilayer id=&quot;l1&quot;>
<layer id=&quot;l2&quot; width=&quot;468&quot;>
<div id=&quot;l1&quot;>
<div id=&quot;l3&quot; style=&quot;position:relative&quot;>
</div>
</div>
</layer>
</ilayer>

The problem is, we can't get the javascript to parse when it is called into the DIV/LAYER/ILAYER. Does anyone know what we might be doing wrong?

Hi Mike,

Not too sure what might be causing that but here are a few suggestions that usually solve any troubles I encounter.

1. Call the setTimeout script at onload, since the div's are only safely available when the page is fully loaded.

2. Use position:absolute, this will make positioning a bit tricky, but it will enable the use of several properties that can't be used (correctly) with relative. (eg: visibility)

Hope this helps?

Gtz,

Kristof
