JavaScript - Mouseover Works In Firefox But Not Ie

been a while since i been to the experts for help figures i was about due for an issue beyond my solving capabilities

ok so the code
The function containing the rogue setTimeout
Code:

function refresh_timer(){
//alert(window.timer);
	var total = getTotal();
	document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = 'Updating in '+ (total-(window.timer+1))+' seconds.';
	if((total-window.timer) == 0){
		refresh_feed();
	}
	else{
		//setTimeout("refresh_timer()",1000);
		setTimeout(function(){ alert("");},1000);
		window.timer++;
//alert("1");
//alert(window.timer);
	}
}

everything in the above function works except the setTimeout itself the script doesn't break and i get no errors in the firebug

initially window.timer is set to 0 and everytime refresh_feed() executes window.timer gets reset to 0
refresh_timer() gets called up by the return from an ajax call(again works in chrome and ie8)

any help is appreciated

I'm new to HTML and javascript programming, so I apologize if the solution to this is blatantly obvious.

I've got expanding text / menus in javascript on my page. These all work in IE with no problems that I can tell.

Unfortunately, when I view the page in Firefox, only the first expanding menu is actually a link and works - the rest do not even appear as links and don't work (and the expanded text isn't showing either).

Any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi,

I've been trying to solve this problem for the past few hours and I'm at my wit's end.

I have a script that runs through all the div elements on the page, and then if the div's background is a certain color, it increments a counter by 0.5 and then outputs the result into a separate div tag.

This works flawlessly in IE, however I cannot get it to work in Firefox.

The strange thing is, if I omit the loop and just use the colorToHex on one specific element in the divs array (ie. divs[2]) it works in Firefox.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Code:

function hrsavailable() {

	var divs = document.getElementsByTagName("div");
	var srdjanhrs = -0.5;
	
	for (var i=0;i<divs.length;i++){ 
		if (colorToHex(divs[i].style.backgroundColor) == "#ffbb6e") {;
			srdjanhrs = srdjanhrs + 0.5;
		}
	}
	
	document.getElementById("srdjanhrs").firstChild.data = srdjanhrs;
}

function colorToHex(color) {

    if (color.substr(0, 1) === '#') {
        return color;
    }
	
    var digits = /(.*?)rgb\((\d+), (\d+), (\d+)\)/.exec(color);
    var red = parseInt(digits[2]);
    var green = parseInt(digits[3]);
    var blue = parseInt(digits[4]);
    var rgb = blue | (green << 8) | (red << 16);
    return digits[1] + '#' + rgb.toString(16);
	
}

Hello. When a user visits index.html on my site, they input their email address. The form redirects them to "confirmed.html", the form also writes a cookie with their email address.

When the user gets to confirmed.html, I use an "if/else" statement. If there is a cookie (email address), I append ("#"+user_email) to the window location. I do this so that when the user shares with "addthis" tool, I will know who is sharing. Unfortunately addthis only shares the current page, so I want new users to the site to be redirected to index.html

My code works in firefox, but not safari. In safari it just seems to redirect to index nomatter what. The user never even sees confirmed.html.

Code:

var user_email = unescape(document.cookie);

if (document.cookie)
  {
 window.location.replace("#"+user_email);
  }

else {
window.location.replace("index.html");
}

})();

Hey,

I'm trying to write a script that makes it so that when using a screen width of 1280 or lower, Google shows one ad at the top of the page. With screen widths over 1280, it shows 2 ads along the side of the screen.

I've checked it several times and I don't know what I've done wrong (but I'm also a beginner). The script works flawlessly in all versions of Firefox for both high and low res (I checked with FF 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, and 3.6) but in IE6 and IE8 while displaying almost correctly at the high resolution, it gets completely screwed up at the low resolution.

Basically I'm just using Javascript to insert HTML comment tags around the ads that I don't want to appear for that resolution.

Apparently it doesn't work in Opera, Chrome, or Safari either and the code doesn't validate as XHTML so there is definitely something wrong.






Code:

<!-- Test run of Google AdSense -->
<!-- One ad floats left, one floats right, the rest of the body is center aligned in between (high res only) -->
<!-- There are 3 ads, scripting makes it so that 2 appear on the sides with a screen width above 1280 pixels, and below 1280 pixels just one appears across the top -->

I have a portfolio page on our company site that functions properly on Mac, but not in Windows. The page is here, but I warn you it will possibly freeze IE if you click it. I include it for reference.

http://www.dgindy.com/html/portfolio.html

In IE, the first thumbnail (of 32) will display and then the page generally locks.

I believe the javascript that governs the popups may be the culprit, but I only know enough to be dangerous and need an assist as this site is already live and that was my screwup.

The script link is:
<script type="text/javascript" src="popup.js"></script>

And the script is:
function popup(url)
{
newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=575,width=620,top=200,left=200');
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
return false;
}

And finally, here is one of the popup links:
<a href="01.html" class="p01" onclick="return popup('01.html')"><span class="displace">Portfolio 01</a>

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. If you need to see my css, let mw know.

Hi,

I'm making a Google Map that reads info from a database and pulls Twitter usernames from it to plot points on a map. In the infowindow of these points I have some code that displays the Twitter users latest tweet. There's alot of code for this map so i'll only show you the part i'm working on:

Code:

function readData() {
      var request = GXmlHttp.create();
      request.open("GET", "phpsqlinfo_result.php", true);
      request.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (request.readyState == 4) {
          var xmlDoc = GXml.parse(request.responseText);
          // obtain the array of markers and loop through it
		  	  i=[0];
			  markers=[0];
			  map.getInfoWindow().hide();
			  gmarkers = [];
			  map.clearOverlays();
			  side_bar_html = "";
			  
          var markers = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
          
          for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
            // obtain the attribues of each marker
            var lat = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat"));
            var lng = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng"));
            var point = new GLatLng(lat,lng);
            
            var label = markers[i].getAttribute("name");
			var address = markers[i].getAttribute("address");
			var type = markers[i].getAttribute("type");
			
			
			var html = '<' + 'script src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"><' + '/script><' + 'script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/' + label + '.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=1"><' + '/script><br /><div id="twitter_update_list" style="list-style:none"></div>';
            
            // create the marker
            var marker = createMarker(point,label,html);
            map.addOverlay(marker);
          }
          // put the assembled side_bar_html contents into the side_bar div
          document.getElementById("side_bar").innerHTML = side_bar_html;
        }
      }
      request.send(null);
    }

var html is where it's all happening. I'm using the Twitter script from http://limetouch.com/article/valid-x...vascript-code/ and I have it laid out with all them ' + ' to break it up so it doesn't end the actual javascript used to create the map.

I'm new to Javascript so I don't know too much. I know that this method is a really backwards way of doing it, but it works for Firefox. I'm able to retrieve the users latest tweet when I click on their map marker.

What I want to know is why it doesn't work in any other browser? I've tried IE7+8, Google Chrome, Opera, and Safari and no tweet displays.

Sub-question: While a tweet does display in Firefox, the infowindow doesn't resize with the dynamic content. Any way to fix that?

This works fine in IE only. Any thoughts.

function DisplaySelectedColor(cColor) {
var elToFill = document.getElementById(cFieldOnFocus)
elToFill.value = cColor;

switch(cFieldOnFocus){
case"Page-Background":document.getElementById("Page").style.backgroundColor =cColor;
break;

case"Page-Background":
document.getElementById("Page").style.backgroundColor =cColor;
break;

case"Outside-Border":
document.getElementById("main_container").style.borderColor =cColor;
break;

case"Logo-Background":
document.getElementById("logo_area").style.backgroundColor =cColor;
break;

case"Logo-Font":
document.getElementById("logo_area").style.color =cColor;
break;
case"Outside-Area-Background":
document.getElementById("main_container").style.backgroundColor =cColor;
document.getElementById("linktestdiv").style.backgroundColor =cColor;
break;

case"Outside-Area-Font":
document.getElementById("main_container").style.color =cColor;
document.getElementById("main_nav").style.color =cColor;
document.getElementById("right_column_content").style.color =cColor;
document.getElementById("linktestdiv").style.color =cColor;
document.getElementById("footer").style.color =cColor;
break;

case"Content-Background":
document.getElementById("main_content").style.backgroundColor =cColor;
break;

case"Content-Font":
document.getElementById("main_content").style.color =cColor;
break;

case"Footer-Background":
document.getElementById("footer").style.backgroundColor =cColor;
break;

case"Hyper-Link":
document.getElementById("activelink").style.color = cColor;
break;

case"Hyper-Link-Hover":
document.getElementById("hoverlink").style.color = cColor;
break;

case"Hyper-Link-Visited": document.getElementById("visitedlink").style.color = cColor;
break;
}
}

Thanks for any help. Can't figure it out.

Hi,

I am using googles O3D software and it uses a javascript base, one of there plugins works in Firefox only and not Internet Explorer I was wondering if anyone here could help me find out why it isnt working in IE and even how to fix it, here is the page that works in firefox but not IE

http://o3d.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/...edesigner.html

Many Thanks,

Hi
I am not really sure where to start with this as my function works perfect in IE 6. However when I select one of my categories and hit submit in Firefox or IE7 or 8 nothing happens. No error message. Just nothing. How can I get this working for firefox and IE7/8?

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
var categories=[];
var categorieslist=[];
var thecategories=[];
var ItemDetails=[];
var selDate=[];
var content=[];
var imagePaths=[];
var art=[];
var aTheDates=[];
var aTheYear=[];
var catDM=" ";
var catUrl="";
var startposition=0;
var theImage="";
var pageDectect=0;
var thepage=0;
var pc=0;
var starty=0;
var pagenumber=0;
var filteredlist="<ul class='press-items'>";
function changeFilter(){
var selCategory=document.getElementById("browsetopic").value;
//alert(selCategory + " aha");
var selYear=document.getElementById("browseyear").value.substring(2,4);
var selMonth=document.getElementById("browsemonth").value;
//var selDate=document.getElementById("browsemonth").value + "/" + document.getElementById("browseyear").value.substring(2,4);


//alert(pagenumber);
for(pagenumber;pagenumber<art.length;pagenumber++){
//alert(selDate + "=" + aTheDates[pagenumber]);
//alert(selYear + "=" + aTheYear[pagenumber]);
//alert(selCategory + "=" + categories[pagenumber]);

	if(((selCategory=="nofilter"||categories[pagenumber]==selCategory))&&(selYear==aTheYear[pagenumber]||selYear=="00")&&(selMonth==aTheDates[pagenumber]||selMonth=="00")){
		filteredlist=filteredlist+art[pagenumber];	
	}
}
filteredlist=filteredlist+"</ul>";
//alert(filteredlist);
document.getElementById("theid").innerHTML=filteredlist; 
filteredlist="<ul class='press-items'>";
pagenumber=0;      
}

</script>

And the button

Code:

<a href="javascript:changeFilter();"><img style=" float: left;  margin-top: 0px;" class="submit" src="/images/submit.gif" /></a>

Hi, JS newbie here trying to cobble together enough to get this page done.
Here's the snippet I'm having trouble with (sorry, I know it's sloppy, if you have a better way to do it by all means please post):

Code:

function showAdv() {
if(claroxanadvanced.style.display == "none")
{
claroxanadvanced.style.display = "block";
claroxanoriginal.style.display = "none";
smokersformula.style.display = "none";
}
else
{
}
}

function showOri() {
if(claroxanoriginal.style.display == "none")
{
claroxanadvanced.style.display = "none";
claroxanoriginal.style.display = "block";
smokersformula.style.display = "none";
}
else
{
}
}

function showSmo() {
if(smokersformula.style.display == "none")
{
claroxanadvanced.style.display = "none";
claroxanoriginal.style.display = "none";
smokersformula.style.display = "block";
}
else
{
}
}

And the page where it is implemented: http://www.claroxan.com/test/
Firefox's debug window says it might be an issue of undeclared variables - 'claroxanadvanced', 'claroxanoriginal' and 'smokersformula' are all div IDs in the html, what line should I put to declare them? Thanks

Code:

function toggle(div_id) {
	var el = document.getElementById(div_id);
	if ( el.style.display == 'none' ) {	el.style.display = 'block';}
	else {el.style.display = 'none';}
}
function blanket_size(popUpDivVar) {
	if (typeof window.innerWidth != 'undefined') {
		viewportheight = window.innerHeight;
	} else {
		viewportheight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
	}
	if ((viewportheight > document.body.parentNode.scrollHeight) && (viewportheight > document.body.parentNode.clientHeight)) {
		blanket_height = viewportheight;
	} else {
		if (document.body.parentNode.clientHeight > document.body.parentNode.scrollHeight) {
			blanket_height = document.body.parentNode.clientHeight;
		} else {
			blanket_height = document.body.parentNode.scrollHeight;
		}
	}
	var blanket = document.getElementById('blanket');
	blanket.style.height = blanket_height + 'px';
	var popUpDiv = document.getElementById(popUpDivVar);
	popUpDiv_height=200
	popUpDiv.style.top = popUpDiv_height + 'px';
}
function window_pos(popUpDivVar) {
	if (typeof window.innerWidth != 'undefined') {
		viewportwidth = window.innerHeight;
	} else {
		viewportwidth = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
	}
	if ((viewportwidth > document.body.parentNode.scrollWidth) && (viewportwidth > document.body.parentNode.clientWidth)) {
		window_width = viewportwidth;
	} else {
		if (document.body.parentNode.clientWidth > document.body.parentNode.scrollWidth) {
			window_width = document.body.parentNode.clientWidth;
		} else {
			window_width = document.body.parentNode.scrollWidth;
		}
	}
	var popUpDiv = document.getElementById(popUpDivVar);
	window_width=window_width/2-150;//150 is half popup's width
	popUpDiv.style.left = window_width + 'px';
}
function popup(windowname) {
	blanket_size(windowname);
	window_pos(windowname);
	toggle('blanket');
	toggle(windowname);		
}

I have know much about javascript, but the code above works fine in safari and firefox but not IE.

it's for a popup, when you click a link it blankets the page and theres a popup window.

here's other parts of supporting css/php

Code:

<?php

 if(!$_POST['submit'] == 'login'){
      echo "<div id=\"blanket\" style=\"display:none;\"></div>\n";
	  echo "<div id=\"popUpDiv\" style=\"display:none;\">\n";
	  echo "<div id=\"loginform\">\n";
	  echo '<div id="close">';
	  echo "<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"popup('popUpDiv')\">\n";
	  echo '<img src="images/login/close.png" border="0">';
	  echo "</a>\n";
	  echo '</div>';
	  echo '<div class="clear"></div>';
	  echo "<form name=\"login\" method=\"post\" action=\"#\">\n";
	  echo "<div id=\"usernametext\">Username</div>\n";
	  echo "<input name=\"username\" type=\"text\" id=\"usernameinput\">\n";
	  echo '<div class="clear"></div>';
	  echo "<div id=\"passwordtext\">Password</div>\n";
	  echo "<input name=\"password\" type=\"password\" id=\"passwordinput\">\n";
	  echo '<div class="clear"></div>';
	  echo '<div id="loginsubmit"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></div>';
	  echo "</form>\n";
	  echo "</div>\n";
	  echo "</div>\n";
	  echo "<span class=\"login_text\"><a href=\"#\" onclick=\"popup('popUpDiv')\">LOG IN</a></span>\n";

?>

Code:

#blanket {
background-color:#000000;
opacity: 0.40;
filter:alpha(opacity=40);
position:absolute;
z-index: 10;
padding:0;
top:0;
right:0;
left:0;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
height:100%;
margin:0 0 0 0;
}


#popUpDiv {
position:absolute;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
width:280px;
height:135px;
z-index: 10;
}

any help would be VERY much appreciated.

thanks

I have a script where the user selects an item on the main nav and it will display the sub-nav below. It works fine in every browser except Firefox. ANy ideas?

EDIT: It's just that script that won't work, btw. I tested an alert box for Firefox and it works fine.

I've been called in to help with this, but did not build the site. There's a frame that's supposed to display the link contents, and it's returning the error:

Error: document.getElementById("SB_Frame") is null
Source File: http://savasbeatie.com/jscripts/SB_util.js
Line: 11

I think it has something to do with the ID of the frame, (from Googling the error and reading some other posts,) but can't figure out where to put the tag.

Thanks for any help. - David
