Using JS files - Problems with Netscape
vegas.com.au/~jasper/demo/home/index.html
I am working on a new site that will use the same menu on each page. What I have decided to do is store this information in a JS file then simply import the file then write the menu contents. This works fine in IE4 but I have had trouble with Netscape.
The page will load fine but if the Reload button is pressed the JS files will be ignored and only the HTML page is reloaded. This causes the menu to disappear.
Can you force the page to reload with the JS files aswell? Also I would like to know what browsers support JS files.

I didn't have a problem reloading with NS 4.6 at my computer, and I couldn't locate an obvious flaw....the code looked just fine.
Perhaps someone else can see this and figure out where NS is tripping up?
The .js file is supposed to be supported in both browsers starting at version 4 and up... I believe.

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. I have been using Netscape Communicator version 4.05. Maybe this bug has been fixed since this version.
I do not intend to update my version of Netscape as I use IE4 most of the time. I only use Netscape when testing out my creations. In the past Netscape has given me many headaches.

I tried it with NS 4.06, and it worked fine, so it must just be a bug that's been fixed

lloydhass, you should update your Netscape version to a more commonly used version. The early realeases of NS 4.x are a piece of s***. The same is true for early 4s of IE, so you should really consider to update.
