JavaScript syntax help

Hi,

I need help with JavaScript syntax (definitely not my strong point). I'd like to combine the following two statements:

&lt;script language="javascript"&gt;
<!--

document.write("<img src=\"images/spacer1x1.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"60\" alt=\"Navigation Bar\">")

// -->
&lt;/script&gt;

and

if ((navigator.appName == "Netscape") && (document.getElementById) )

{
.. refer to external .js file if NS6 
}

so that what it says is this:

Write out the spacer image unless the browser is Netscape 6. If the browser is Netscape 6, then read an external .js file (I don't know how to call the .js file either).

Can anyone help me with this syntax? I would really appreciate it!

Thanks, Phyllis

did you try this?.. not positive if this is what you want or not..

&lt;script language="javascript"&gt;
<!---//

if ((navigator.appName == "Netscape") && (document.getElementById) )
{
document.write("&lt;script src='whatever.js' language='javascript'&gt;<\/script>")
}
else
{
document.write("<img src='images/spacer1x1.gif' width='1' height='60' alt='Navigation Bar'>")
}
// -->
&lt;/script&gt;

Give me what I want, and I'll go away!

Hey thanks! I think that's going to work (I'm about to experiment with it). I have a tough time with the syntax -- I understand it after I see it, but trying to write it myself I often get lost in it. Oh well!

Thanks again,
Phyllis
