it works perfect in IE7 but not in FF3
if i change the doctype to:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> then it works in firefox but in IE all my design falls apart
it has to be in
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

so what do i have to fix to the code so it works with xhtml1-transitional doctype in both browsers???

First, you need to change highlighted with: type="text/javascript" as it's deprecated:


<script language="JavaScript">


The problem is not on the doctype, but on your script.

You need not to use "eval()" if you want to get the element's ID prefixed with TR and the passed argument.

You can always use "document.getElementById()" and concatenate "tr" with the passed argument.

Migh help:


function disp1(id) {
var ObjDisplay = document.getElementById("tr"+id);
for (i=1;i<5;i++) {
document.getElementById("tr"+i).style.display="none";
}
ObjDisplay.style.display="block";
}
