Ereg help please matching multilines

Anon

How do I match a new line or multiline text using ereg?

I would use the perl compatible regular expressions, but I'm concerned that this will break other parts of my code.

So, is there an equivalent using ereg to /m (multiline) as in pcre?

Can I use /m in ereg?

Help!

Thanks as always,
matt.

This should give you the info you're looking for: http://www.php.net/manual/html/pcre.pattern.modifiers.html (I think that page will answer your question better than I could, since it's not a part of php I'm very familiar with.)

innerHTML is a proprietary IE construct and not supported in netscape. (so it the all collection for that matter)

in fact, changing the html of a static page is not supported in netscape 4 at all.

You would have to use the layer tag in netscape to make a new layer and then display it when needed.

A better way to do it would be to have php generate the page the way you want it displayed each time.

that way, the code sent to the browser will be pure html and you won't have to rely on unreliable and incompatible client side coding.

cross browser client side javascript is still a nightmare in many situations. it's a shame, but true.

OK, So innerHTML in Netscape doesnt work for putting text inside a select box or even a div for that matter.

But when I use a layer I can't even create a select box inside of it.
So how can I use Javascript to populate information into a select box on the client in Netscape 4?

thanks,
tom

Take a look at http://www.dansteinman.com/dynduo/index.html

You can use document.open, write and close, but It works only if DIV is "position:absolute;", which is
useless in my case.

Please let me know if you manage to do it in a "relative" DIV.

Cheers,
Pedro.

the code under a layer is the same thing as a document object in netscape.
so you must add a new "form" tag between div and /div because netscape doesn't show elements if they are not in a form.
you can access to your element (select box) with javascript like (for exemple) :
document.layers[0].document.forms[0].elements[0].value
you can change elements[0] with the name of your select box and forms[0] with the name of your form under the layer.

the tip was great but :

this worcks fine ( displays a text-box ):

lyr.write("<form action='somedoc.htm' method='post'><input type='text' name='test' size='2'></form>")

this doesn't ( displays nothing ) :
lyr.write("<form action='somedoc.htm' method='post'><select name='test'><option value='1'>test</option></select></form>")

i tried other elements inside the form but only few of them worked for me. i could't create neither a submit-button nor a text area.

any suggestions why ?
