On my page, the initial menu is embedded in a table cell...what I would like to have happen is if the browser is Netscape 4 - load text links; if the browser is anything else, load the first menu. At the top of the page I already have the snippet of javascript that kevin wrote to have netscape 4 ignore the intial menu code. I don't know javascript - this is what I came up with but the section portion of the code, the ELSE statement doesn't work -- could someone help me? : Here is the code:
Code: Select all
<script language="javascript">
_NS4 = (document.layers) ? true : false;
if (_NS4) {
document.write("<a href="http://websites.milonic.com/citytech.cuny.edu/aboutus/index.html>About Us</a> | ");
document.write("<a href="http://websites.milonic.com/citytech.cuny.edu/academics/index.html> Academics</a> | ");
document.write("<a href="http://websites.milonic.com/citytech.cuny.edu/admissions/index.html>Admissions</a> | ");
document.write("<a href="http://websites.milonic.com/citytech.cuny.edu/alumni/index.html>Alumni</a> | ");
document.write("<a href="http://websites.milonic.com/citytech.cuny.edu/faculty/index.html>Faculty/Staff</a> | ");
document.write("<a href="http://websites.milonic.com/citytech.cuny.edu/students/index.html>Students</a> | ");
document.write("<a href="http://websites.milonic.com/citytech.cuny.edu/search/index.html>Search</a> | ");
document.write("<a href="http://websites.milonic.com/citytech.cuny.edu/sitemap/index.html>Site Map</a> | ");
document.write("<a href="http://websites.milonic.com/citytech.cuny.edu/index.html>Home</a>");
// do ns4 stuff
}
else {
document.write("

Are we perhaps getting too involved here? It just crossed my mind that instead of trying to call two different menu systems ie v3 and v5, would we be able to just tell nn4 to use one menu_data.js file which was a simple design for that particular browser and the other browsers to use the main one with all our fancy stuff? That way we'd be one menu system and pretty much the same coding and links, just prehaps a simpler style and function design? Or wouldn't that be possible?
