PROBLEMS with document.all and document.getElementsByTagName

[questhaven]

Hi - I am trying to get around using document.all because it is not working in Netscape. The solution that I have been reading about on the internet however, is not working in Netscape either. Could somebody cehck out the code below and see if it looks like I am doing in right? Thanks!

function showAll(){

divColl = document.getElementsByTagName("DIV"
for (i=0; i <divColl.length; i++) {
if (divColl(i).className == &quot;LEVEL3&quot
{
divColl(i).style.display =
(isExpanded) ? &quot;none&quot; : &quot;block&quot;;
}

if (divColl(i).className == &quot;level2&quot
{
divColl(i).style.display =
(isExpanded) ? &quot;none&quot; : &quot;block&quot;;
}
}
}

guesthave,

It's easier if you post the rendered HTML rather than your ASP page. Could you post us what you see in your browser > view source? Gary

I have just formatted your code and I get a lot of errors in it. You have a closing div but not starting tag for it. You also have a lonesome closing anchor tag. Fix up your HTML code to try to make things easier for yourself. You can use HTML tidy (free I believe) or a validator to check your code. Usually DHTML code will not work with HTML that cannot validate.

<A onclick=&quot;showAll()&quot; href=&quot;#&quot;>Expand All</A>

Actually - there is a loop that I forgot to include around the <div> tag you are talking about - this code loops around a patient list and around that </div> tag there is actually code that says:

<%if iGroup > 0 then %>
</div>
<%end if
iGroup = iGroup + 1 %>

This closes the </div> for the <div class=&quot;LEVEL3&quot; id=&quot;grp1c&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;> tag. However - removing the extra </a> tag does not solve the issue I am having with the <div> expansion not working in Netscape. Is there anything else that could be causing this? The things I have read say that document.getElementsByTagName is supposed to work in Netscape.

Thanks!
