Let's look at the properties of the three divisions on the previous page. The values you see in the table below were extracted using this script. A "" means that the browser returned the null string for that particular property.
| Property | Navigator 4 | Explorer 5 | Mozilla | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Div one | visibility | inherit | "" | "" | |
| background-color | null | #ccffcc | rgb(204,255,204) | ||
| left, top, width, height | 10, 10, undefined, undefined | 10px, 10px, 100px, 100px | 10px, 10px, 100px, 100px | ||
| Div two | visibility | show | "" | "" | |
| background-color | null | "" | "" | ||
| left, top, width, height | 110, 10, undefined, undefined | "", "", "", "" | "", "", "", "" | ||
| Div three | visibility | inherit | "" | "" | |
| background-color | null | cyan | cyan | ||
| left, top, width, height | 210, 10, undefined, undefined | "", "", "", "" | "", "", "", "" | ||
First, we note that there's a large difference between Navigator 4 and the other browsers. In Navigator 4, the location of a <div> is a simple number; in the others, it's measured in pixels (px).
Explorer and Mozilla give closely matching results, except for background color. Looking at <div> one, we see that Explorer displays a color originally expressed as hexadecimal in hex; Mozilla displays it in rgb format using decimal equivalents. Colors entered as names stay as names.
