JavaScript - Display Issue In Ie, Fine In Ff

My code is all about darkening out part of the browser window, making unclickable. I detect if the user is running IE, and if so, I don't use window.innerHeight because MS doesn't support anything. However, I have noticed an issue, and I believe it has to do with the "top" value. I've tried using window.screenY, but that didn't seem to solve my problem. You see, if you are running FF, it draws a box that starts in the top corner and only goes down as far as you can actually see on your browser. Say you are scrolled down a little bit on the page, you can see the end of this box - it doesn't cover the entire page, only the part that is visible when the scrollbar is all the way up. I have included a picture to clarify what I'm talking about. The non-grayed out area is the area that would normally not be visible when the scrollbar is at the top.

I would like to draw this box over the visible part of the page, no matter where you are scrolled. Right now, the box always draws from the very top of the page, even if that part isn't visible to the user.

Code:

function blur()
{
	var blurDiv = document.createElement("div");
	blurDiv.id = "blurDiv";
	if(navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
		blurDiv.style.cssText = "position:absolute; top:0; right:0; width:" + document.body.clientWidth + "px; height:" + document.body.clientHeight + "px; background-color: #000000; opacity:0.4; filter:alpha(opacity=40)";  
	else
		blurDiv.style.cssText = "position:absolute; top:0; right:0; width:" + window.innerWidth + "px; height:" + window.innerHeight + "px; background-color: #000000; opacity:0.4; filter:alpha(opacity=40)";  

	document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].appendChild(blurDiv);
}

Hi There,

The following piece of code is working fine in IE6 but not in IE 8:

if (Windowvar != null) { Windowvar.close(); }
Windowvar= window.open(sUrl, 'static', viewerWinOption, true);

To explain the functionality:
1. User clicks on one of the links on page 1
2. Clicking takes user from Page 1 to Page 2 (the transaction page).
3. Along with page 2, another page (Page 3) is opened.
4. User saves the transactions in the Page 2 and he is taken back to page 1
5. User clicks other link in Page 1 and activity in point 2 is repeated along with point 3

The issue is, when User clicks on the link AGAIN(for second transaction) in the Page 1 the Page 3 opens in the same browser window in the IE 6 but in IE 8 it opens in the differenct browser window (which shouldnt be happening)

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,
Sameer.

Hi there

I've just completed a lovely slideshow script on my homepage. It works great in Firefox, but doesn't display at all in IE.

It's on a live test page he
http://www.modern-wedding-ideas.co.uk/index2.html

I'm sure I'm just missing something really simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, this is a copy and paste job: I'm a newbie to javascript! So please be gentle.

Many thanks
Nicola

I am pretty new to Javascript having a bit of a problem with a website with Google Maps integrated. URL is http://beta.5vanmap.com. JS is in /js/map.js.

I have two checkboxes (ccCheck and caccCheck). The basis is when the box is ticked, it overlays a KML onto the map.

This is working fine in Chrome, but in FF and IE it doesn't work, IE returns 'ccCheck is Undefined'. The code I am using is in the JS file, the bit it gets stuck at is as follows:

Code:

document.getElementById('ccCheck').onclick = function() {
	
				  if (ccCheck == 1)
  {
	ccCheck = 0;
   ccOverlay.setMap(null);  
  }

  else

  {
   ccCheck = 1;
	ccOverlay.setMap(map);    
  }


}

If I stick a ccCheck = document.getElementById('ccCheck') within the onclick function (before the if statement), it places the overlay onto the map, but then when I untick the box it just stays there.

It's such a simple thing (I think), and must be down to IE being pedantic about declaring the variable properly, the question is how should I be doing this?

Thanks and regards
Noel

[CODE]<script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript">
<!-- Hide script from older browsers

function toggleMenu(currMenu) {
if (document.getElementById) {
thisMenu = document.getElementById(currMenu).style
if (thisMenu.display == "block") {
thisMenu.display = "none"
}
else {
thisMenu.display = "block"
}
return false
}
else {
return true
}
}

// End hiding script -->
</script> [CODE]

[CODE]<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return toggleMenu('menu3')">Title</a>[CODE]

It freezes in Internet Explorer; but works fine in Chrome.

Solved

Hi all I'm having trouble with my XML news feed being displayed in IE. The JS calls the XML, and displays the relevent data on the homepage. This works beautifully in firefox, but fails completely in IE, what am I doing wrong?

The Code for the script follows, and is contained within the <head> of the the HTML;

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

var xmlDoc;
<!--
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {
  xhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  } 
else // Internet Explorer 5/6
  {
  xhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xhttp.open("GET","SDS.xml",false);
xhttp.send("");
xmlDoc=xhttp.responseXML;

var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("NEWS");
i=0;

function display()
{
title=(x[i].getElementsByTagName("TITLE")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue.fontsize("5").fontcolor("white").bold());
date=(x[i].getElementsByTagName("DATE")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue.fontsize("2").fontcolor("white").bold());
stitle=(x[i].getElementsByTagName("STITLE")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue.fontsize("3").fontcolor("white").italics());
story=(x[i].getElementsByTagName("STORY")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue.fontsize("3").fontcolor("white"));
pic=(x[i].getElementsByTagName("PIC")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
document.getElementById("picture2").innerHTML="<img src=" + pic + " />";
txt= title + "<br />" + date + "<br />" + stitle + "<br />" + story;
document.getElementById("show").innerHTML=txt;
}

//-->
</script>

In FF, the XML is read, and the corresponding data is entered automatically into the HTML document. Everything works perfectly. In IE, nothing seems to happen, no text is displayed and the image is just the broken link icon.

I assume I need to modify my ELSE statement somehow, but have no idea what to do! Unfortunately I cannot provide a link to the webpage, it has not been uploaded as it doesn't work yet.

Would really appreciate being told where I've gone wrong so I can correct the code myself.

Thanks,
Dan

Hey guys, so I'm trying to make a single function that will check to make sure the e-mails in both fields match AND to make sure the e-mail is in proper format. Strangely, with both if statements included the form will return no messages at all. If I comment out the if statement checking for proper format, the if statement to check for matching e-mail works just fine.

I want this all to be in one function because I'm wanting it to be executed onSubmit with the form. Let me know what you guys think, any help is greatly appreciated:

Code:

<html>

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
	function verifyEmail()
	{
			var x = document.forms["emailForm"]["enterEmail"].value;
			var y = document.forms["emailForm"]["confirmation"].value;
			var atpos = x.indexOf("@");
			var dotpos = x.lastIndexOf(".");
			
				if (x != y) {
					  var msg = "The email addresses entered do not match, please enter matching email addresses";
					  document.getElementById("error").innerHTML = msg;
					  return false;
				}
			
				if (atpos < 1 || dotpos < atpos + 2 || dotpos + 2 > = x.length) {
					  var msg = "Improper e-mail format";
					  document.getElementById("error").innerHTML = msg;
					  return false;
				}
				
				else {
					return;
				}
	}
</script>
</head>

<body>

	<form name="emailForm" onsubmit="return verifyEmail();" method="post">
		E-Mail Address: <input type="text" name="enterEmail">
		Confirm E-Mail Address: <input type="text" name="confirmation">
		<input type="submit" value="Submit"> <span id="error"></span>
	</form>
	
</body>

Hi,

I've made a web based tool that times how long a web page takes to load in an iframe and today I redesigned it but now it has issues. When I load it in Chrome and Opera the new version works fine but in FF 3.6 and IE 8 only the footer area is displayed.
I have added the links below - You'll be able to access the code via your browser's "View page Source" option.

URLs:
New test (With problem): http://browserspeedtest.camerongray....net/version31/
Old test (Works perfectly): http://browserspeedtest.co.cc

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello

I am relatively new to java script. The code I have behaves differently when I debug it and when I just run is straight.

There are three functions that one another in a particular sequence. When I debug it they get called in the correct sequence but otherwise they get called in a constant but random pattern.

I know I am missing basic understanding of javascript Can some body help please.

Thanks in advance

Output when I open the page in a browser without debug.

Hi everybody I have a problem

I want a header that is a slideshow and use lightbox for other images.
No I have this all working but not at the same time.

If I use this code in this order only the first script that is the lightbox script works.
PHP Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/pirobox.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function(){
        $().piroBox({
              my_speed: 300, //animation speed
              bg_alpha: 0.5, //background opacity
              slideShow : 'true', // true == slideshow on, false == slideshow off
              slideSpeed : 3, //slideshow
              close_all : '.piro_close' // add class .piro_overlay(with comma)if you want overlay click close piroBox
              });
        });
        
        </script>
        <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
        <script src="js/jquery.cycle.all.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function(){
           $('.slideshow').cycle({
              fx: 'scrollLeft',
              speed: 1000,
              timeout: 7000
           });
        });
        </script> 


If I use this code so I switched the order only the slideshow works:
PHP Code:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
        <script src="js/jquery.cycle.all.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function(){
           $('.slideshow').cycle({
              fx: 'scrollLeft',
              speed: 1000,
              timeout: 7000
           });
        });
        </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/pirobox.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function(){
        $().piroBox({
              my_speed: 300, //animation speed
              bg_alpha: 0.5, //background opacity
              slideShow : 'true', // true == slideshow on, false == slideshow off
              slideSpeed : 3, //slideshow
              close_all : '.piro_close' // add class .piro_overlay(with comma)if you want overlay click close piroBox
              });
        });
        
        </script> 


I also tried this: but then they both did not work

PHP Code:
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.cycle.all.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/pirobox.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function(){
                                   
           $('.slideshow').cycle({
              fx: 'scrollLeft',
              speed: 1000,
              timeout: 7000
           });
           
           $().piroBox({
              my_speed: 300, //animation speed
              bg_alpha: 0.5, //background opacity
              slideShow : 'true', // true == slideshow on, false == slideshow off
              slideSpeed : 3, //slideshow
              close_all : '.piro_close' // add class .piro_overlay(with comma)if you want overlay click close piroBox
              });
           
            });
        </script> 


Can you help me solve this problem so they both work?

I have merged two scripts to make a popup that comes up even if blocked, and is for first time visitor only (cookie). The problem is that the way I'm doing it, it might show one or more times to the visitor. I don't want that because it will be irritating and this is a high-priority client.

I'm posting the whole script because I think the problem is calling the popup before checking the cookie, but not sure how to rearrange things.

Also, I did search and found some good dhtml stuff but don't want to rewrite. This was supposed to be done last night so if I can fine tune this for now, I'll have time to rewrite something better (or at least play around with another script).

Also, the popup refuses to come up in IE - I have IE6, but I detest IE and their site doesn't even load in it so whatever. I tested in FFox3, Opera 10 and Safari and it seems to work but like I say because of the onclick - it will load at any click until the user goes to a different page. I added a refresh in there but it just made things worse - too much going on for the user at that point.

Thanks for any suggestions. I hope I've used the right tags for this. I've highlighted the stuff at the bottom that I think is where I need the most help.

Here is the code:

// added for popup -kk

var expDays = 100; // number of days the cookie should last

//var page = "only-popup-once.html";
//var windowprops = "width=300,height=200,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes";

var newwin = null;

function openwin() {
// window.location.reload();
var url = "/NEWSLETTER.html"

try {
if (newwin != null && typeof(newwin.location.href) != 'undefined') {
newwin.location.href = url;
} else {
newwin = open(url, "Subscribe", "height=390,width=545,screenX=0,left=0,screenY=0,top=0,channelmode=0,dependent=0,directories=0,fulls creen=0,location=0,menubar=0,resizable=yes,scrollbars=0,status=0,toolbar=0");
}

newwin.focus();
} catch (e) {
newwin = open(url, "Subscribe", "height=390,width=520,screenX=0,left=0,screenY=0,top=0,channelmode=0,dependent=0,directories=0,fulls creen=0,location=0,menubar=0,resizable=yes,scrollbars=0,status=0,toolbar=0");
newwin.focus()
}
}

function GetCookie (name) {
var arg = name + "=";
var alen = arg.length;
var clen = document.cookie.length;
var i = 0;
while (i < clen) {
var j = i + alen;
if (document.cookie.substring(i, j) == arg)
return getCookieVal (j);
i = document.cookie.indexOf(" ", i) + 1;
if (i == 0) break;
}
return null;
}

function SetCookie (name, value) {
var argv = SetCookie.arguments;
var argc = SetCookie.arguments.length;
var expires = (argc > 2) ? argv[2] : null;
var path = (argc > 3) ? argv[3] : null;
var domain = (argc > 4) ? argv[4] : null;
var secure = (argc > 5) ? argv[5] : false;
document.cookie = name + "=" + escape (value) +
((expires == null) ? "" : ("; expires=" + expires.toGMTString())) +
((path == null) ? "" : ("; path=" + path)) +
((domain == null) ? "" : ("; domain=" + domain)) +
((secure == true) ? "; secure" : "");
}

function DeleteCookie (name) {
var exp = new Date();
exp.setTime (exp.getTime() - 1);
var cval = GetCookie (name);
document.cookie = name + "=" + cval + "; expires=" + exp.toGMTString();
}

var exp = new Date();
exp.setTime(exp.getTime() + (expDays*24*60*60*1000));

function amt(){
var count = GetCookie('count')
if(count == null) {
SetCookie('count','1')
return 1
} else {
var newcount = parseInt(count) + 1;
DeleteCookie('count')
SetCookie('count',newcount,exp)
return count
}
}

function getCookieVal(offset) {
var endstr = document.cookie.indexOf (";", offset);
if (endstr == -1)
endstr = document.cookie.length;
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, endstr));
}

function checkCount() {
var count = GetCookie('count');
if (count == null) {
count=1;
SetCookie('count', count, exp);
// window.open(page, "", windowprops);
window.onclick = openwin;
// window.location.reload();
} else {
count++;
SetCookie('count', count, exp);
}
}

window.onload=checkCount;

// end popup -kk
