If you view that in Moz, the quick jump works. However, it doesn't in IE6.0 and I can't fathom why. Can anyone figure it out?

Personally this is the first JS I've ever seen that works in Moz but not IE, but hey.

Note: Don't feel you have to read my diary if you can't deal with it, thanks.

The code on the URL already has browser specific code, but more to the point, try changing the Javascript contained in that link to the following :

var ie4 = (document.all) ? true : false;
var ns4 = (document.layers) ? true : false;
var ns6 = (document.getElementById && !document.all) ? true : false;

function show()
{
if( ie4 )
{
document.all["layer1"].style.visibility = "visible";
}
if( ns4 )
{
document.layers["layer1"].visibility = "show";
}
if( ns6 )
{
document.getElementById(["layer1"]).style.visibility = "visible";
}
}

function hide()
{
if( ie4 )
{
document.all["layer1"].style.visibility = "hidden";
}
if( ns4 )
{
document.layers["layer1"].visibility = "hide";
}
if( ns6 )
{
document.getElementById(["layer1"]).style.visibility = "hidden";
}
}

That should work in both IE and NN, enjoy!

Yeah no probs man, thanks. I'd rather not resort to browser-specifics as I know this works, I've ripped it off!

If it comes to it I'll have a go though. Thanks!

Doesn't work in Netscape, but does in IE, so maybe you could try and use a browser specific code to implement it.

I would do it now, but I'm just to tired.

Sorry.

Aside from the div swapping (which I maintain absolutely will work in IE, I ripped the code from luke), there's still the issue of the error on line 71.

Thanks anyway guys.

As for #leiden, we're still there, although there may have been a netsplit we haven't noticed. Connect to io.mine.nu, that always works.

I've been giving it a go to fix, like Tyla suggested, with a Script to detect the browser and write the JS accoringly, but I can't get it to work ... must just be a bad night for me, as it seems like something quite simple for me to so.

Sorry, I'll give it a go tomorrow maybe, if you haven't got it fixed by then.

I see what you mean... apart from the huge JS error in IE(6). IE and NN handle
