Javascript compatibility problem with disco background effect (works on IE but not FF)
This is the code:
r=255; g=255; b=255; flag=0; t=new Array; o=new Array; d=new Array;
function hex(a,c) { t[a]=Math.floor(c/16) o[a]=c%16 switch (t[a]) { case 10: t[a]='A'; break; case 11: t[a]='B'; break; case 12: t[a]='C'; break; case 13: t[a]='D'; break; case 14: t[a]='E'; break; case 15: t[a]='F'; break; default: break; } switch (o[a]) { case 10: o[a]='A'; break; case 11: o[a]='B'; break; case 12: o[a]='C'; break; case 13: o[a]='D'; break; case 14: o[a]='E'; break; case 15: o[a]='F'; break; default: break; } }
function ran(a,c) { if ((Math.random()>2/3||c==0)&&c<255) { c++ d[a]=2; } else { if ((Math.random()<=1/2||c==255)&&c>0) { c-- d[a]=1; } else d[a]=0; } return c } function do_it(a,c) { if ((d[a]==2&&c<255)||c==0) { c++ d[a]=2 } else if ((d[a]==1&&c>0)||c==255) { c--; d[a]=1; } if (a==3) { if (d[1]==0&&d[2]==0&&d[3]==0) flag=1 } return c } function disco() { if (flag==0) { r=ran(1, r); g=ran(2, g); b=ran(3, b); hex(1,r) hex(2,g) hex(3,b) document.body.style.background="#"+t[1]+o[1]+t[2]+o[2]+t[3]+o[3] flag=50 } else { r=do_it(1, r) g=do_it(2,g) b=do_it(3,b) hex(1,r) hex(2,g) hex(3,b) document.body.style.background="#"+t[1]+o[1]+t[2]+o[2]+t[3]+o[3] flag-- }
setTimeout('disco()',50) }
Can someone please tell me how to make this work in Firefox also, because I'm designing a website for which I'd love to put this as a background, but if I'm to do it, it needs to be compatible with all the major browsers.

Seems to be working here. Be careful using % in c%16 -> c % 16. Otherwise %16 might get unescaped.

switch (t[a]) {

Wow! Thanks a lot. Now it works in FF :-)
But only downside is it no longer works in IE. We all know IE doesn't follow W3C standards (transparency is such a pain in IE because it doesn't use rbga colors) and it's pretty much off its rocker, but this is just crazy.
Can you please, by any chance make your code run for both IE and FF or do I need to detect browser and run one of the two scripts according to the user's browser?
I'm on Linux, so can't test it in IE. I would assume that only document.body.style.background could cause problems in IE. The rest is pretty standard. I only added some spaces and semicolons to make your code work as a data URI to test it.

Thanks a lot for your great help :-) I just used JavaScript to run your corrected script for FF users and the old one that ran on IE for IE users and so it's functioning just fine. I will look into the forums as you said for a more technical response regarding this. Thanks a million.
You're welcome
