dhtml

Which ones did you use?

Also, is the generated code in vbscript or javascript. If it is vbscript, it will only work in IE. If it is javascript, it should work in both.

I used frontpage2000. (the effects I used are "fly-in" and "zoom-in".

it is javascript. here is the code in my animate.js:

It gives me a completetly blank page in mozilla & doesn't do anything.

please help.

thanks,

There is a lot of code down the bottom that checks the version of MSIE. Just wondering whether that could be blocking out Mozilla.

You can pop up an alert at the start, open the script debugger and attach to the process to see what is happening.

The error I get when I check the JavaScript console is:

"doc_els has no properties"

Please help becuase this the homepage of my website and I need people to at least see my homepage to get in.

thanks,

jj

When you say Mozilla do you mean Mozilla or Firefox? Firefox returns version 5 so it should work

Mozilla Firefox

You are right, it should work but it gives me the error:



"doc_els has no properties"

Please help.

Thanks,
JJ

Anybody here that can help me? I'm still getting the same error. Anybody please.

Thanks,
JJ

I've run into the same problem and am interested in any solutions.

This appears to be a problem with FP2000 and Firefox. It has been fixed on FP2003. I'm just checking the diffs. There are more than 100 lines of diffs and animate.js is now about 700 lines.
