Mozilla Firefox Question

I'm trying to display the current time on a webpage
(http://home.maine.rr.com/k3/_temp/sample.htm) and I can't figure out why it
"flickers" only in Mozilla and Firefox. It works great with all other
browsers.

Thanks!

I suspect it's because the JavaScript is generating a warning each time
through the loop that updates the clock display. The warning is:

Warning: Element referenced by ID/NAME in the global scope. Use
W3C standard document.getElementById() instead.
Source File: http://home.maine.rr.com/k3/_temp/sample.htm
Line: 77

The clock does not display at all in K-Meleon. K-Meleon's JavaScript
console has this to say:

Error: Clock is not defined
Source File: http://home.maine.rr.com/k3/_temp/sample.htm
Line: 77

You would probably get better help on this in alt.html.

Ken ....

I tried your page using both Konqueror and Firefox
under Debian Linux ....

http://home.maine.rr.com/k3/_temp/sample.htm

No noticable flicker on this end
while ticking off time ....

Funny thing is that first time I went to that page with Firefox 1.0.2
about fifteen minutes ago the clock flickered noticably. But when I
tried again a minute ago it did not flicker at all.

I was having this same flickering with Firefox last fall; tried
increasing the screen refresh rate to the max my monitor could handle,
and that eliminated the problem.

Same here - OK in IE, flickers in FF...

There is a property named "innerHTML" in your JavaScript, and this
property is known to be buggy on Gecko-based browsers like Mozilla or
Firefox, according to this page*:

http://www.developer-x.com/content/innerhtml/

This could be the reason of the flickering. Anyway, you may try to
change "100" to "1000" in the following line of the script*:

window.setTimeout("tick();", 100);

The display of the clock will still flicker in Firefox, but only once a
second (this number sets the refreshing delay in milliseconds).
