Hi,

I want an "isZZZ" variable that I can use to generate
"display: -moz-inline-box;" rather than "display: inline-block;" but in DOM.

For this I need to know what version of Mozilla this "feature" was added and
also how to detect Mozilla as a userAgent.

Alternatively is there an alternative to "display: -moz-inline-box" for
sticking two tables side by side ?

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

I'd code a cross browser solution and forget about UA sniffing.

The correct CSS value to use is "inline-table", unfortunately like
"inline-block", "inline-table" is another long standing deficiency in
Mozilla's CSS support. (I'm guessing there's something in Mozilla's core
code that prevents such from working)

I'd suggest never to use "-moz-inline-block" for anything as the result
is terrible, nothing like "inline-block".

The following works in IE, Mozilla and Opera if you don't use a border
around the table element and if you are not fussy about vertical-align:

yourvarname.style.display = 'inline';
yourvarname.style.display = 'inline-table';

I used :-

table.style.display = "inline";

in the end. Seems to work fine.

Could not seem to get DOM to work with styles and classes at all.

They say that ignorance is bliss.

No, I have avoided the prolem for now. The project is pre-alpha at the
moment, but I suppose I could given an example. Sorry. I may do when I get
some more time.

Thanks for your help,
