Preserved Topic: doesn't work in IE (Page 1 of 1)

Please help me out. This code works fine in Netscape 7, but not in IE 6. IE says "Object doesn't support this property or method" for the three lines in bold.

(head)
(script language="javascript")
function mover(aaa){
if(aaa == "one") desc = "Description one"
if(aaa == "two") desc = "Description two"
if(aaa == "three") desc = "Description three"
document.getElementById("desc").innerHTML = desc
}
function mout(){
document.getElementById("desc").innerHTML = "Move mouse over links for description"
}
(/script)(/head)

(body)

(div id="desc" style="border:1px solid black;height:120px;width:280px;padding:6px")Move mouse over links for description(/div)

(ol)
(li)(a href="one.asp" onmouseover='mover("one")' onmouseout='mout()')One(/a)(/li)
(li)(a href="two.asp" onmouseover='mover("two")' onmouseout='mout()')Two(/a)(/li)
(li)(a href= "three.asp" onmouseover='mover("three")' onmouseout='mout()')Three(/a)(/li)
(/ol)

(/body)

Appreciate any help.

I haven't tested your code, but I am wondering if there is some kind of name clash going on with the variable "desc". Since you are using it as a string inside the function, but it is also the id of an element in the body...

Try renaming the local variable desc in mover() to something else.

Yep. That's it. I just tested it by renaming 'desc' to 'descStr' and it works in IE6...

Thanx a lot MajorFracas. You nailed it.
