When I set the background colour of an element using
tdRef.style.backgroundColor and then read it back, Firefox always
gives rgb(r, g, b) regardless of whether I've used rgb(...) or #rrggbb
to set it.
If I use tdRef.bgColor to set/read the value, I always get #rrggbb
regardless of whether I've used rgb(...) or #rrggbb.
IE, on the other hand, when using style.backgroundColor reports back in
whatever format was used (either rgb(...) or #rrggbb), but, like
Firefox, always gives #rrggbb for the bgColor method.
My question is which method is most consistent across various browsers?
I want to use style.backgroundColor (since some browsers don't support
bgColor, I guess it's a legacy from the ver 4 browser days). If I
decide to use rgb(...), is it consistently supported by other browsers
or do some report in #rrggbb regardless? Code:
I want to get the colour in HEX format using "thing.style.backgroundColor". Like "#FFFFFF" or whatever. IE gives this but FF gives it as "rgb(0,0,0)" format.
Is there a simple function/method of getting it as hex? (or a conversion function)
I have written a javascript version of tetris and at every 10th cleared line, I change the body background color more towards red. However, the page only seems to update parts of the background. It is only after min/maxing the window or otherwise forcing a redraw that the whole page background is actually updated to the correct color.
Any idea why this is and if/how this can be fixed?
This line works as expected, but it may be relevant to highlight. document.body.style.backgroundColor = "rgb(255," +GB+ "," +GB+ ")";
I would like to do things. 1) to change text in span to "" and 2) to change background of it.When I click on anchor, so "Saved!" with green backround will appear. And it would disappear after 1500 ms.
I'm trying to compare a <div> background color with another color. However, on FireBug, I noticed that my <div> doesn't have a background color code in it (I placed document.getElementById(o) on watch), even though I have already specified on my css. As a result, I'm comparing an empty string with another color code. Why is this so ?
Javascript:
function highlight(o) { var color1; color1 = document.getElementById(o).style.backgroundColor;[code].....
I need help with an IE8 problem. I want to give as many facts as possible.
Reference: [url]
I have already banned less than IE8 from my site but have the following problem with IE8 only (works on Mac and Win in these"allowed" browsers:Safari 5+, Chrome, FF 3.5+ and Opera 10+):
I use the backgroundPosition setter / getter extensively in this animation-extensive site.
But it breaks in IE8.
I did hack this as the only way I could get IE8 to work in a frame animation algorithm, noting that I have to test for browser and version (ugh) and then use this getter:
The following is an example that appears to work but seems unstable to me: (note that "accordionState"references an object within a data store attached to the "page" element):
There are many other cases where I have get or setbackgroundPosition,especially in the 'over' and out' functions where I use hoverIntent.
As a great fan and user of jQuery, I am puzzled that this will not work in IE8. Note thatbackgroundColor does not work either, although I do use UI to do these sorts of things and it seems to work in IE.
There is a live search on my web page but the box of available options which falls below the 'input' field has a transparent background color. How can it be changed to non-transparent?This line below makes the background white, but all the text on the page shines through, since the default is transparent.
i want to animate the backgroundcolor of the <body> when the page is loaded. It works - but sometimes when i switch from one page to another or if i just reload a page, it doesnt change.First i used this script:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title></title> <script type="text/javascript"> function TextScroll(scrollname, div_name, up_name, down_name, top_name){ [Code]...
When I use mouse wheel in Firefox to scroll contents of the DIV, memory usage in Firefox goes through the roof. Code above is a fully working page, if anyone would like to see what's up, just load it up, and start moving your mouse wheel in the area with text. You don't actually have to scroll the text, just moving the wheel back and forth in that DIV will do. Memory usage will start going up quite fast, and after you stop moving the wheel, it will finally come down a bit after a short while. I've highlighted in red the line where mousewheel event is registered for Firefox. I'm not sure if it's really a problem, but since Opera and IE don't have any strange memory usage, and Firefox does, maybe I did something wrong. In everyday use it shouldn't matter [don't expect to have kilometers of content to scroll], but anyway, it is a bit unsettling.
if ((window)&&(window.netscape)&&(window.netscape.security)) { // OK, this is Gecko/Firefox or someone mimicing it so well // that there is no way to catch it on the act. }
But I need Firefox *1.5 or higher* or another (but sure) way to know that this browser has native SVG support. Here I'm stock.
It seems there is window.navigator.productSub and on my Firefox 1.5 it's 20051111
But I'm not sure: this "build version" is going up guaranteed or it's random like CLASSID? Also is the same Firefox release has the same build for all platforms or not? mozilla.org seems silent.
I have a BETA site that I'm testing. It looks good/works fine in IE, but Firefox has some troublesome breakages that I can't figure out how to fix without breaking IE. The one I'm most concerned about is that I have a video player that was working a couple of weeks ago, and several revisions to the page later (not the video iframe), it's not. Works great in IE, but in Firefox, the controls in the video player are either sticky or do not work altogether. The video is called through an iframe (needs to be done that way by request) and the embed is as such:
I have some menu items which i use javascript to change the image on mouse over. This works fine in IE, and used to work fine in Firefox.
However I added an few extra menu items near the bottom and something has gone a bit wrong. The last 4 menu items dont change image in firefox or netscape... but they work fine in IE. Code:
I'm trying to find a simple step-by-step on how to read a simple XML file like this one, which will work in IE 6 and Firefox 0.x.

The problem is every example, I find that it will work in IE but not Firefox or visa versa, could someone please point me to a how to that will work with both browsers. I just spent two weeks reading the Microsoft Press Book "XML Step by Step", only to find out that the technology only works with IE.
I have the script below, which is supposed to populate a text box on a form which opened this popup window - it should then call a function 'PostThisPage' on the opener document, and then close the current window/popup.
This works ok in IE - can anyone please help me by pointing out what it needs to become cross-browser compatible? It doesn't work in Firefox 1.0.
Here is my problem in a nutshell: a script to model dynamic table extension. It works under Firefox. But IE just aborts, complaining about an "unknown runtime error" in the line with "innerHTML". Why?
<html><head></head><body>
<script language="javascript"> function extend() { var tb = document.getElementById('thetable').tBodies[0]; var newrow = document.createElement('tr'); tb.insertBefore(newrow,tb.rows[tb.rows.length-1]); tb.rows[tb.rows.length-2].innerHTML = '<td>A</td><td>dummy</td><td>row</td>' } </script>
Does anyone know how I can fix the code below to work in Firefox,it works perfectly well in IE, the problem is that I have to use Firefox for this assignment....
Why doesn't a SELECT element's innerHTML reflected which option was selected? Works in IE. I need this functionality so that I can retain what choices a user made in a tabbed interface.
