Hi all,

I unfortunately am having another problem with another page:(. I opened it up before I started work on it and I got error messages right away:(. I think that, somehow, Course Technology(the publisher of my Dynamic HTML textbook) is trying to sabotage me as well as the other Dynamic HTML students. The horizontal lines are there just to (hopefully) isolate the problem

Anyways, here's the code:


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
<!--
Nav4 = (document.layers) ? 1:0;
IE4 = (document.all) ? 1:0;
ver4 =(Nav4 || IE4)?1:0;

function getNumber(el) {
    num=null;
    for (i=0; i<document.layers.length; i++) {
        theEl=document.layers[i];
        if (theEl.id==el) {
            num=i;
            break;
        }
    }
    return num;
}

function arrange() {
    nextY=document.layers[firstNum].pageY + document.layers[firstNum].document.height-10;
    for (i=firstNum+1; i<document.layers.length; i++) {
        theEl=document.layers[i];
        if (theEl.visibility != "hide") {
            theEl.pageY=nextY;
            nextY += theEl.document.height-10;
        }
    }
}

function init(){
    if (Nav4) {
        for (i=0; i<document.layers.length; i++) {
            theEl=document.layers[i];
            if (theEl.id.indexOf("Answer") != -1) {
                theEl.visibility="hide";
                theEl.expanded=false;
            }
        }
        arrange();
        }
    else {
        tempColl=document.all.tags("DIV");
        for (i=0; i<tempColl.length; i++) {
            if (tempColl(i).className == "answer") {
                tempColl(i).style.display="none";
                tempColl(i).expanded=false;
            }
        }
    }
}

function expand(el) {
    if (!ver4) return;
    if (IE4) {
        expandIE(el)
    }
    else {
        expandNav(el)
    }
}

function expand IE(el){
   theEl=eval(el+"Answer");
   if(theEl.style.display=="none"){
          theEl.style.display="block";
      theEl.expanded=true;
   }
   else{
        theEl.style.display="none";
          theEl.expanded="false
   }
}

function expandNav(el) {
    theEl=eval("document." + el + "Answer");
    if (theEl.visibility == "hide") {
        theEl.visibility="show";
        theEl.expanded=true;
    }
    else {
        theEl.visibility="hide";
        theEl.expanded=false;
    }
    arrange();
}

function showAll() {
    for (i=firstNum; i<document.layers.length; i++) {
        theEl=document.layers[i];
        theEl.visibility="show";
    }
}

with (document) {
    write("<STYLE TYPE='text/css'>");
    if (Nav4) {
        write(".question {position: absolute; visibility: hidden; left: 40px}");
        write(".answer {position: absolute; visibility: hidden; left: 50px; width: 90%}");
    }
    else {
        write(".question {position: relative; left: 40px}");
        write(".answer {display: none; position: relative; left: 50px; width: 90%}");
    }
    write("</STYLE>");
}

window.onload=init;

</SCRIPT>

HELP!

Welcome to the New Age

Ya? And what happens when you run the code?

Please post any error and any other code that this script references to (if there is any). Does anything happen at all?

I get these errors

Line 65: Expected '('
Line 174: 'Nav4' is undefined

Which lines are these?

<><

Line 65 is completely blank
Line 174 only has these characters: <!--

This doesn't make sense to me because the Nav4 statement is on Line 175

Here's Line 175: if (Nav4) {
    firstEl="oneQuestion";
    firstNum=getNumber(firstEl);
    showAll();
    arrange();

I can't find the code you posted in your last post in the rest of your code.

Is the code you just posted before the previous code on your page?

Everything looks fine to me, unless you aren't giving all the info.

According to the original code, 'firstNum' is never defined.

I used Find(on this page) and it came up with nothing...

You must be leaving something out...

function expand IE(el){
theEl=eval(el+"Answer");
if(theEl.style.display=="none"){
         theEl.style.display="block";
     theEl.expanded=true;
}
else{
        theEl.style.display="none";
         theEl.expanded="false <--- Can this be the cause of your error?
}
}

Yeah,

I redid the entire page script and I did not come up with that error. However, I'm still getting errors with the script. I opened the page code in Interdev and this is what it highlighted

expand('one')

The entire code is in one of my earlier posts(I think)
