61930 - Mozilla 5 doesn't support layers or div

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Laurent]

I tried to perform action on layers or div which operatesd on netscape 4.7 and 
it didn't worked, 

I triesd to acces properties of a created layer with some javascript alert, 
first with alert(document.layers) and it displayed "undefined", so I tried with 
alert(document.[nameoflayer]) but it displayed th same thing but it displayed 
the good information on netscape 4.7 and older and Ie 5.5 and older (except 
versions 3 who does not support dhtml

All of our sites with hard dhtml are not operating under netscape 6 and it's 
difficult for us to explain that's it's not in our competences

PS Sorry for my bad frenchie english

LAYER is not a W3C standard and is not supported, and document.layers is a
proprietary feature in the old Netscape also. Please refer to the following link

Marking this bug invalid.

In fact, we support DIVS via other methods. You can find out how to code for
ie5/ns4/ns6 at http://wsabstract.com/javatutors/dynamiccontent5.shtml

If you follow that link, it will help you to make your code to support w3c
standard browser's dhtml implementation
