Topic awaiting preservation: layerposition

Hallo:
my task is to write a script, which shows something when the mouse moves over a certain region of the screen.

After I included a browser sniffer I wrote the following:

function loslegen() {
if (NS4) {
window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE);
window.onMouseMove = MoveHandler; }
else{window.document.onmousemove =MoveHandler ;}

}

function MoveHandler(e) {
xpos = (document.layers) ? e.pageX : document.body.scrollLeft+event.x;
ypos = (document.layers) ? e.pageY : document.body.scrollTop+event.y;

x= eval(lst+"keinzut"+lse+llt);
y= eval(lst+"keinzut"+lse+ltp);
xx=x+300;
yy=y+100;
xn=x+5;
xxn=xx+5;


if ((xpos>=x && xpos<=xx)&&(ypos>=y && ypos<=yy)){ alert (x +"---" +y);
}
}

//end

this does not work under IE.
Any idea?

thanx

It would be much easier to help if we could see all the relevant code. It's impossible to know for sure with the information you've posted.

I will take a guess and say that you are not calling the loslegen function with an onload event.


. . : newThing

I do call the function with an onLoad event.
meanwhile I found that IE did not see any properies of the layer. So I put the layer style in the div tag. and it worked.

But because I call the loslegen function with the onLoad every mouse movement causes a n event and I was told that this will be a problem for old computers.

Now puting the event in the Layer it self seems not to work.

**********HTML*********
<div id="keinzut" style="position:absolute; left:10; top:600; font:normal 10px Arial; layer-background-color:green; background-color:green; border:0.1px solid green; width:300; height:100; z-index:1000" > TEXT</div>

********script********************

if (NS4) {
window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE);
window.document.keinzut.onMouseMove = MoveHandler;
}
else if (IE){
window.document.all.keinzut.onmousemove =MoveHandler ;
}
else { window.document.getElementById("keinzut").onmouseover =MoveHandler;}

function MoveHandler(e) {
do something ( I want to let an other layer be visible)
}
************************************************

all browsers do not recognise the properties of the layer.

do any of you know how I can let the mouseover event works only in the layer

thanks
