On Sat, 5 Feb 2005 12:48:52 -0000, Martin Parry I like using this library:
http://www.dithered.com/javascript/index.html (1k script that eases cross browser javascript development. i.e. instead of document.getElementById(id) you use gE(id) or, if you want a more feature rich library, I use this one too; http://cross-browser.com/ > get it working in that later. I love using document.all (saves using > getElementByID) but it just ain't available in other mainline browsers. > > Martin Parry > Macromedia Certified Developer > http://www.BeetrootStreet.co.uk > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave Merrill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 05 February 2005 12:42 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: [SOT] Supporting multiple browsers and versions > > I've been doing intranet work for a while now, where the only browser we > had > to support was the one that came installed on company PCs.
