Hi there

I'm using this function

function changeSection(Frame, Path)
    {
    var fra = document.getElementById(Frame);
    fra.src = Path;
    }

to call data into an iframe.

this is what I'm using for the link:

javascript:changeSection('main', 'main_section.asp?id=<%=intCategoryID%>');

all things are hunky dory on a PC but when I try it on a Macintosh, the link doesn't work - infact it doesn't even work as a link.

does anyone know why?
do macintoshes not recognise the Id element?

cheers

I don't know if Macs recognize the getElementById() function.... maybe, not sure.

It doesn't really have anything to do with a Mac it has to do with the browser you're trying to run it on. What browser are you trying to run it on? Have you checked that browser's website to see if the method is supported?

Hi Rich

Well, it's internet explorer 6 on the mac so I imagine it's pretty up to date.

lol, IE 6? There is no IE 6 for Mac! I assume you mean 5.x?

A quick google leads me to suppose that getElementById is not implemented in IE 5 for Mac.. so either the erroneous task of browser and platform detection is in order, ignore it all together (lots of Mac users are diehard users of browsers like Safari and Mozilla anyway), or take another approach. Microsoft has abandoned its standalone IE browser for all platforms, in Windows its being integrated with their next OS. So a new IE for Mac is never going to happen! Instead they've done a browser in MSN for OS X, which has fantastic support for standards. Personally I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Regards,
Rich
