netscape no show?..why?

Anon

i know this is dirty code!!
it works great in IE6 and NET6
but net 4.7 wont work...no show.
im stuck!!!
help!

(it reads a chunk from a large text file and shows it on html page)

$file2 = "/bla/bla/file.txt";
$fstLine = 300;
$lstLine = 650;

$fst = $fstLine -1;
$lst = $lstLine -1;
$icons = file($file2);
$lstL = count($file2)+$lst;
for ($i=$fst; $i<$lstL; $i++){
echo "$icons[$i]";
}

vsego

I see nothing browser-specific here. do you mind posting whole script?

count($file2) - $file2 is a STRING! So, this should report an error.

Btw, Netscape won't show table content if the <table> tag is not closed. Maybe this is your bug...

you asked for it!!!!

not actually helping to fix the original problem, I would just clear one thing up:
count($file2) won't return an error becuase $file2 is a string. It will return 1 simply because $file2 is not an array.
count() returns the number of elements in an Array, 1 if it's simply a variable, and 0 if the variable is not set, can be checked through isset() btw...

Well.. sry for not helping to solve the original problem...

Anon

durrrrrrrrr
i dont need to count lines at all...
this better?!

$file = "/bla/bla/file1.txt";
$firstLine = 44;
$lastLine = 85;

$first = $firstLine -1;
$date = file($file);
for ($i=$first; $i<$lastLine; $i++){
echo "$date[$i]";
}

vsego

Works fine (i.e. shows one text over the other :-)) in NS 4,51. You sure this is not "the guilt" of some JavaScript and/or CSS you might be calling before <body>?

vsego

I didn't expect this to fix anything. I misused the word "report". I ment that this might have produced the error, as it is not very common to use count() with non-arrays.

Anon

thanks.

this is odd..

maybe you could test actual page for me?

like you say it overlays a file (of image links) on top of a file of text(date)
(i had to do it this way to get positioning the same over all browsers)

the thing is it worked for all browsers when i used php include file

but needed to split data files over other pages...so new code.

anyway... here it is

Works perfectly! :-)

The reason I'm using NS 4,51 (at home; at work I use 6,1) is the fact that of all 4,xx versions version 4,51 was the most stable one. Version 4,7 introduced some terrible unstabilities.

The "ever had a feeling you're being watched" flash is funny. :-)

Anon

thx

i tried site on another pc earlier and it worked ok...it seems that net v4 browsers only work when they feel like it!!

net 6.1 seems to be quite good now!
lets hope people dump the old v4 browsers and move on!

cheers for help.

finished site....
