Re: Fw: Error Message Feedback (custom DTD document)

Thanks David:

The problem is that <DIV> tags are not correctly rendered in Netscape 4, so 
by wrapping these <DIV> tags in a <LAYER> tag, I can hide this information 
from the older browsers, like this:

<LAYER NAME="oTransContainer" VISIBILITY="hide">

<DIV ID="oTransContainer" 
STYLE="position:absolute;top:120px;left:151px;width:243px;height:227px; 
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Fade(duration=0.5)">
<DIV ID="front_centerhi" 
STYLE="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;width:243px;height:227px;visibility:hidden;display:none;">
<IMG SRC="images/front_centerhi.gif" ALT="" WIDTH="243" HEIGHT="227" 
BORDER="0">
</DIV>
</DIV>

<DIV 
STYLE="position:absolute;top:206px;left:227px;width:93px;height:32px;z-index:1000;">
<A HREF="javascript:win02();" ONMOUSEOVER="show('front_centerhi');" 
ONMOUSEOUT="hide('front_centerhi');"><IMG SRC="images/pixel.gif" ALT="" 
WIDTH="93" HEIGHT="32" BORDER="0"></A>
</DIV>

</LAYER>

Do you have any idea how I can hide <DIV> tags from older browsers in any 
other way?

Thanks

Charlie
