Help to solve problem: initialization layers in NN4

[kost81]

Can’t initialize internal layer in NN4.There are two layers child_layer and paren_layer.child_layer is within parent_layer. Itry to initialize such way

child_layer.init(parent_layer);

in function init
this.elem=parent_layer.document.layers[‘child_layer’];

child_layer doesn’t want to initialize

What to do?

what do you mean you can't initialize?

are you not able to access the child layer?

My personal experience,I always define div id's in the csssomething like

#parentDiv{
position:absolute;
}

#childDiv{
position:absolute;
}

now you can access them

document.layers.parentDiv.document.layers.childDiv

First, the layers must exist. Hopefully, you are calling the function init() on load.

Second, you need to specify "document" for it to find the parent layer:this.elem = document.layers['parent_layer'].document.layers[‘child_layer’];

Of course I spesify parent_layer at first.
I have new thought about origin my problem
Maybe this problem appears because I'm creating my layers at fly by "write"

I'll show piece of code

wind=code(i);
wind_tips[i]=new DHTMLObject(this.id+i);
wind_tips[i].draw(left,top,width,height,fon_scr,0,9,'okno',wind);
wind_tips[i].init();//here I initialize parent_layer
if (can_drag) {
wind_tips[i].dragobj=-1;
head[i]=new DHTMLObject("head"+i);
head[i].init(wind_tips[i].id);//here I initialize child layer
}

function DHTMLObject(id){
this.id=id;
if(!bw.bw) return;
this.name='DHTMLObject_'+this.id;

this.init=function(ns4p){

this.el=bw.dom?document.getElementById(this.id):bw.ie4?document.all[this.id]:bw.ns4?
eval((ns4p?ns4p:'')+"document.layers."+this.id):0;

this.draw=function(x,y,w,h,bg,v,z,css,code){
document.write(bw.ns4?
'<layer id="'+this.id+'" z-index='+z+' left='+x+' top='+y+' width='+w+
' height='+h+(!v?' visibility=hidden':'')+(bg!=""?' bgcolor="'+bg+'"':'')+
(css!=''?' class="'+css+'"':'')+'>'+code+'</layer>':
'<div id="'+this.id+'" style="position:absolute;z-index:'+z+';left:'+x+'px;top:'+y+
'px;width:'+w+'px;'+(!v?'visibility:hidden;':'')+(bg!=""?''+(bw.ns4?'layer-':'')+
'background-color:'+bg+';':'')+'"'+(css!=''?' class="'+css+'"':'')+'>'+code+'</div>');

}
}
something like that
