Question javascript function not working in firefox

  #1  
Aug 7th, 2007
I have a menu that uses javascript ot show and hide submenus. It works in IE but not in Firefox. I've pasted part of the code below: montre = show and cache = hide (french) i.e. used to show and hide the submenus. I attached the whole file if you need it.

Use Firefox's built in JavaScript console. It will tell you what the error is.

I see several problems:

- You used html comments to hide part of the JavaScript. This is deprecated, and often no longer works.

- I spotted some JS errors which IE lets slip, but FF does not.

- You have some quoted content which begins on one line and ends on another. This often causes failures.

- Your if statement near the "presentation" comment is missing its begin and end braces.
