FF works great, MSIE: nfg, any reason why?

@KorJun 25.2009 — #First thing I have noticed is that your document has no Doctype.

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_DOCTYPE.asp

Without a certain DTD, browsers' interpretors work in so called "quirks mode" (in opposition to the "strict mode"), which may provoke weird interpretation of CSS and javascript codes.

@astupidnameJun 25.2009 — #It is strange, if you alert the elements in the choose function, TEXT8 onwards are null for the div element. If you comment out the script that is in the TEXT7 div it works fine. For some reason it is having trouble with the document.write of the English.toString(). I found that if I change that to replace < or > it works fine then.

Change TEXT7 div to the following:

[code=html] <div id="TEXT7" class="TEXT"> 
 <p> 

 7. Represent a small bilingual lexicon as a Javascript object in the following fashion <br>
 {"merry":"god", "christmas":"jul", "and":"och", 
 "happy":gott", "new":"nytt", "year":"&#229;r"} <br>
 and use it to translate your Christmas cards from English into Swedish.<br>
 <input type="button" onclick="Solution7()" value='Run Solution'>
 <input type="button"
 onclick="document.getElementById('Solutions').innerHTML=Solution7.toString()" 
 value='View Solution'>
 <input type="button" onclick="FunctionDisplays(English)" value='View Functions'>
 <pre>
 var lexicon = {"merry":"god", "christmas":"jul", "and":"och", 
 "happy":gott", "new":"nytt", "year":"&#229;r"};
 var spanish = {"merry":"feliz", "christmas":"navidad", "and":"y", 
 "happy":"feliz", "new":"nueve", "year":"anos"};
 <script type="text/javascript">var str = English.toString(); document.write(str.replace(/</g,'&lt;').replace(/>/g,'&gt;'));</script>
 </pre>
 </div>[/code]

Note the changes within the script only. If you look at all your other document.write's that write out functions that contain those characters < > you will find you will want to do same to them, as they are all stopping at the first < character, typically in loop definitions. So you might want to make a function such as:

function preDW(str) {

document.write(str.replace( .... etc etc you get the picture, then use in place of your document.write's within the pre tags

edit: actually, just the '<' characters seem to need to be replaced

@JMRKERauthorJun 25.2009 — #Thank you both.

I'll give each change an attempt and report back about success.

Appreciate the looks and comments. ?
