Topic awaiting preservation: question about netscape 4.5

Does netscape 4.5 recognize linked javascript files such as this:

<script language="JavaScript" src="slidermenu.js" type="text/javascript">

It doesn't seem to. It will however recognize it when I put the complete script in the header. Does netscape 4.5 not support linked javascript files?

Try
<script type="javascript" blah blah>

what do you mean? like this?:

<script type="JavaScript" src="slidermenu.js" type="text/javascript">

I want the actual script in a .js file so I don't have to clutter up my page.

no, type="javascript" is incorrect. Use either type="text/javascript" or the older and deprecated language="javascript".

In any case, NN4 does support this. It doesn't, however, allow you to document.write anything from the outside file. If you want to do this, make a function in the outside file that creates the text to be written, and then call that function from a script tag on the page like

document.write(getstufftobewritten());

Is it a document.write problem, or something else?

Weird!! I just uploaded it here and I checked it on netscape 4.5 and it works when its uploaded and I go to the url. !? But I checked the same page on netscape 4.5 on my local machine and it doesn't show the menu... whats up with that? Also why are my links blue in netscape? won't it read my css?

When I looked at it in 4.7 there was no menu. That would be bad really IMHO.

As for the link colors, NN4 doesn't recognize the different colors for hover and visited.

Look in the CSS forum for a link that I posted there about the cross browser CSS issues.

I know this is kinda dumb, but what does IMHO mean?

In my humble opinion.

is there really much of a difference between netscape 4.5 and netscape 4.7?

Um, maybe ... maybe ... your leaving out the </script> its just you didnt write it in your example.
