I cannot seem to get the same javascript effect from this script with Firefox. I only works in IE, and I need one that works like it in Firefox as well. Please help! I have converted 30 code generating tools to be compliant with Firefox as well as IE and Netscape, but one tool generates this code and I need to have it generate Firefox friendly code as well...and it's killing me. :confused:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>SearchBliss: Slide Link Drop Menu Example</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v3.0
  var p,i,x;  if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
    d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
  if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
  for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document); return x;
}

function MM_changeProp(objName,x,theProp,theValue) { //v3.0
  var obj = MM_findObj(objName);
  if (obj && (theProp.indexOf("style.")==-1 || obj.style)) eval("obj."+theProp+"='"+theValue+"'");
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<select name="s" onChange="MM_changeProp('Layer1','','innerHTML','&lt;MARQUEE SCROLLAMOUNT=120 behavior=slide direction=left&gt;&lt;a href=\&quot;\'+document.all.s.value+\'\&quot; target=\&quot;_blank\&quot; style=\&quot;color:#FF0000;font-family:Verdana;font-size:12px;\&quot;&gt;\'+document.all.s.value+\'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/MARQUEE&gt;','DIV')" style="color:#FF0000;background-color:#CCCCCC;font-family:Verdana;font-size:12px;">

When using the DOM you'll always encounter some difficulties from browsers because not all are DOM compliant and those codes generated by DW were good a few years back but not anymore, at least until they'll get re-written (IMO).

I've been played a little with your script and what really cracked me up was that in FF the marquee never stopped

compared to IE where would work perfectly.

I've also tried to dynamically add the link's href and content but, unlike IE, FF never displayed it...so, I'm kind of lost here myself too, I guess...
