Can anyone tell me why my javascript needs to be before the doctype to work in Firefox, but then needs to be after the doctype for IE6 or it breaks the page layout.


If anyone has a way of fixing this issue, I would really appreciate it as I am starting to tear out my hair!

Huh? You shouldn't have javascript before the doctype.... the soonest should use javascript is in the head.

CV is right - post your code if you're still having troubles.

I don't want to put the code before the doctype, but it is the only place where the javascript will work in Firefox. I think the problem may be that there is already vbscript on the page - for a different issue.

Unfortunately I can't easily post the script due to privacy issues.
This is the javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">

var OpenDiv;
var OpenImg;

function Close(div, img)
{
if (div != null) div.style.display = "none";
if (img != null) img.src = "/_lib/images/bg_arrowRed.gif";
}

function Open(div, img)
{
if (OpenDiv == div)
{
// user has clicked on an already open div, so close it
Close(div, img);
OpenDiv = null;
OpenImg = null;

}
else
{
// user wants to open a div
div.style.display = "block";
img.src = "/_lib/images/bg_arrowRed_down.gif";
// close the open div
Close(OpenDiv, OpenImg);
// update the open vars
OpenDiv = div;
OpenImg = img;
}
}

</script>

Any ideas??

If you're using VBScript, then no, it won't work with FF.

VBScript is Microsoft-only (i.e. Internet Explorer) - the same goes for ActiveX.
