Changing Content of a DHTMLLayer

• function processbutton3() { // Process content from form text field

• var inputstuff = WW_formlayer.document.classtest.textchoice.value;

• if(WW_Netscape4) { // Netscape

• WW_messageobject.document.open();

• WW_messageobject.document.writeln(inputstuff);

• WW_messageobject.document.close(); }

• else { // Microsoft is much more elegant

• WW_messageobject.innerHTML = inputstuff;

• WW_messageobject.style.width = 300; }

• // Seemingly Netscape clips text layer to width of text; Microsoft to width of window; both clip vertical height to that of text; this is typical difference between

• today’s erratic implementations of DHTML

• WW_layertotop(WW_messageobject); // Set layer zindex to 1000

• WW_layershow(WW_messageobject); // Make layer visible

• return;

• } // End processbutton3()

Note in Netscape full address is

window.document.layer.document.property
