Can anyone tell me why the following code will work in IE7, but in in

I haven't waded through all that code, but it seems that your issue is
with setting a TR's display attribute to 'block'. It is much better
to post a minimal example that shows the error.

In IE the default display property for TR elements is 'block', in
Firefox (and other browsers that have moved beyond CSS 1) it is 'table-
row'. Changing it to block most likely causes the error you
described.

HTML comments inside style elements are a waste of time, remove them.

The language attribute is deprecated, type is required.

}

function toggleTR(objID) {
var obj = document.getElementById('detail' + objID);
if (obj.style.display == 'block') { obj.style.display = 'none'; }
else { obj.style.display = 'block'; }}

Use something like:

obj.style.display = (obj.style.display == 'none')? '' : 'none';


This issue has been discussed many times, search the archives.


function changeImages() {
if (document.images) {
for (var i=0; i<changeImages.arguments.length; i+=2) {
document[changeImages.arguments[i]].src =
eval(changeImages.arguments[i+1] + ".src");

eval is very rarely needed:

... = changeImages.arguments[i+1] + ".src";
