Hi all, i know my people are behind the technology…this js works in IE 6+ and NS 7.2 but not 7…. Please let me know what is not working? I tried to debug but nothing came up … your help is appreciated…

You need to work-in the cross-broswer compatibility, since IE doesn't seem to support "node.sorttable_customkey" for custom tags.

You can type "javascript:" in the URL bar to bring up the JavaScript console.

@emmim44authorJan 14.2009 — how about node.textContent, node.text, node.innerText? Are they supported in NS 7

@voidvectorJan 14.2009 — .textContent is not supported until later version.

.text and .innerText are IE-only.

But I don't think it matters in your code, since you use .nodeType/.nodeValue fallback.

@emmim44authorJan 15.2009 — Yes you are right... I removed the 'node.getAttribute' from js file , it does work on NS 7 but... when you click the column to sort it shows a " ? " after column name...why??

@voidvectorJan 16.2009 — That should be the symbol for upward triangle and downward triangle (indicating descending/ascending in your application).

Your the host OS for Netscape 7 probably have an older versions of the fonts, which don't support those symbols.

@emmim44authorJan 16.2009 — Yes You are right! is there equilavant of a upward triangle and downward triangle symbols for NS 7

@voidvectorJan 16.2009 — It's not Netscape 7, it is your OS.

It shows fine on my Netscape 7, installed on Windows 2000.

@emmim44authorJan 16.2009 — Are you sure it is not 7.2 because on 7.2 it looks ok as well but not 7...Thank very much,

Success!
