JavaScript - Struggling With Floating Div Layer In Internet Explorer
Hello,
I am using JavaScript to show/hide a floating div layer. The code i have works perfectly in Google Chrome but will not display at all in Internet Explorer. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated - coding below and attached: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> <title>James</title> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"><!-- function HideContent(d) { if(d.length < 1) { return; } document.getElementById(d).style.display = "none"; } function ShowContent(d) { if(d.length < 1) { return; } document.getElementById(d).style.display = "block"; } function ReverseContentDisplay(d) { if(d.length < 1) { return; } // Hide everything but the one we want to toggle HideAllContent(d); if(document.getElementById(d).style.display == "none"){ document.getElementById(d).style.display = "block"; }else{ document.getElementById(d).style.display = "none"; } } /** * Hides all the content panes on the page, they must be listed in arr * @param except - The id of a div not to hide */ function HideAllContent(except){ // Make an Array with all the id's of the divs we want to hide var arr = [ "uniquename1", "uniquename2", "uniquename3", ]; // Loop through the Array and call HideContent to hide them for( var i=0; i<arr.length; ++i ){ if( arr[i] != except ) HideContent( arr[i] ); } } //--></script> </head> <body> <h1>Showing and hiding divs with javascript</h1> <p>Click the links below to show or hide the appropriate divs.</p> <!-- Links that you want to click.

Many of these problems could allow a person with malevolent intent to steal sensitive information from a visitor. The number and type of such holes in security vary among browsers and operating system versions. Most JavaScript security holes have been caught and fixed, but new ones are being discovered all the time. For a list of current security holes check out your browser's and operating system's Web pages. As a Web site author, it is your responsibility to keep up-to-date on the current status of known security holes in the applications you create. Signing Scripts In Chapter 11, I explained that JavaScript does not provide the ability to directly access files on the client computer. This can be a very large hurdle to overcome if you're trying to upload a file to a server from the client computer. Fortunately, file uploading is one of many functional enhancements that signed scripts provide. Signed scripts are specially packaged scripts that have been verified and signed to be correct and non-threatening. These scripts have additional rights on the client computer that allow a programmer to do many things that he wouldn't otherwise be able to. With the introduction of Netscape 4.0, a new security model was put in place that would allow digitally signed scripts to bypass some of the restrictions that had previously been placed on them. A signed script can request expanded privileges from the visitor and, with the visitor's permission, gain access to restricted data. A signed script requests these additional permissions through LiveConnect, which allows your JavaScript code to communicate with the Java Capabilities API. The security model allows JavaScript to access certain classes in Java in order to extend its functionality while still maintaining tight security for the client. A digital signature is a fingerprint of the original programmer, and it allows the security model of the browser to detect where (or from whom) it originated. A script signer can be a person or an organization. By signing a script, you acknowledge yourself as the author and accept responsibility for the program's actions. A signed script contains a cryptographic checksum, which is just a special value that ensures the signed script has not been changed. When a digital signature is detected, you are assured that the code has not been tampered with since the programmer signed it. Once you finish writing a script, you can use the Netscape Signing Tool to digitally sign it. Signing a script does the following: Unambiguously assigns ownership of the script to a person or organization. Allows an HTML page to use multiple signed scripts. Places the signed script into a Java Archive (JAR) file. Places the source of the script in the JAR file. Once a user confirms the origin of the script and is assured that it has not been tampered with since its signing, he or she can then decide whether to grant the privileges requested by the script based on the validated identity of the certificate owner and validated integrity of the script. .</p> </div> <div id="movable"> <b>Please Login or Register</b> </div> </body> </html> JAVASCRIPT FILE IS AS FOLLOWS: Code: var startY=0; var currY=startY; var destY=currY; var timerID=0; var tmr_on=0; var temp; function floatMenu() { clearInterval(timerID); tmr_on=0; if (document.documentElement.scrollTop) { temp=document.documentElement.scrollTop; } else { temp=document.body.scrollTop; } destY=temp+startY; startFloat(); } function startFloat() { if(currY==destY) { clearInterval(timerID); tmr_on=0; } else if(currY<destY) { currY+=2; var newY=currY+"px"; document.getElementById("movable").style.top=newY; if(tmr_on==0) { timerID=setInterval("startFloat()",10); tmr_on=1; } } else if(currY>destY) { currY-=2; var newY=currY+"px"; document.getElementById("movable").style.top=newY; if(tmr_on==0) { timerID=setInterval("startFloat()",10); tmr_on=1; } } } window.onscroll=floatMenu; window.onresize=floatMenu; AND CSS FILE IS AS FOLLOWS: Code: #header1 { background-color: #66ccff; border: 1px solid #66ccff; margin-bottom: 5px; } #content { padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #66ccff; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 21%; height: 800px; } #content a { text-decoration: none; color: blue; display: block; } a { text-decoration: none; color: blue; } #movable { position: absolute; width: 20%; background: #fdcfcc; top: 0px; left: 0px; } At some point while scrolling,the div 'movable' flickers continuously,while at some other point,it is perfectly stable. Problem is coming on both IE and FF.Any help seriously appreciated... i'm looking for a function to check for the browser version and NOT run a script if the user is using internet explorer 7 or less something like <!--[if gte IE 7]> alert(internet explorer 6 sucks) <!--[else]> alert(internet explorer 7 or greater is better but it still sucks) <![endif]--> and if i just use "lte IE 7" instead of gte IE 7 it will exclude firefox... so that's why i prefer to use a "else" statement.... instead you got something better to suggest thanks!! Hi There, Can anyone explain why the following XMLHttpRequest.open call fails on IE browsers, but works fine in Firefox and Chrome? Code: <html> <head> </head> <script type="text/javascript"> if( window.XMLHttpRequest ) { xhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else { xhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xhttp.open("GET","test.xml",false); // I show an "access is denied error in IE" xhttp.send(""); document.write( xhttp.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("simple")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue ); </script> <body> </body> </html> The "text.xml" file resides in the same location (local HDD folder on the pc this is running on) as the html page. And the contents of "test.xml" are shown below: Code: <simple> Hello </simple> Obviously its just a very simple example that should just display "Hello" when loaded, but it fails to work in IE. I am using HAPedit for HTML/Javascript and it used to work alright by clicking Display -> Browse with -> Default Browser(Internet Explorer). But since last one or two days it gives the following error "The page cannot be displayed" and the following is shown in the URL bar http://localhost/helloworld.html 2. But, however, if I navigate to the file by using File -> Open of the IE, the result is shown correctly. 3. What has gone wrong?? Hi there - I was wondering if anyone out there could help me I'm redoing my site from many years ago - www.industrialarts.co.uk It contains a "Conveyor" - to which I've always wanted to add a "Lightbox" effect. Well - the good news is that I've managed to get a test page up and running and it's doing exactly what I want it to in Firefox, Chrome, Opera and in Safari However .. in Internet Explorer 8 .. it ain't good. The scripts on the page seem not to work at all. (In Internet Explorer 7, it's worse as the formatting is haywire too - but I'll try to fix one thing at a time) http://www.industrialarts.co.uk/test/chairs/chairs.html So - if anybody could be good enough to take a look at my test page and offer any suggestions for getting it running on Internet Explorer too .. or just where to look for answers - I'd be massively grateful My apologies also as I'm a dabbler with this stuff (normally a woodworker) Cheers, Jol I have javascript code in my site. It works in FireFox but doesn't work in IE. The page is http://omidpand.ir/search.html First select something from first combobox when u open second combobox the javascript code should change latin characters with persian one, but it doesn't do it. hi everyone, I hope you can help me understand why my Javascript menu is different on Chrome browser. It is fine on Internet Explorer. Please see images. Internet Explorer Google Chrome I look forward to hearing from you. Ravi I've got a flash music player (audioplay) on a site (yeah, I know, I hate music on websites too, but the client wants it). I'm using javascript to trigger "stop" and "play" and it works on every browser except IE 9+. The error in IE's developer says: SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'stopMusic' Here's the javascript: Code: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> function getPlayer(movieName) { if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) { return window[movieName]; } else { return document[movieName]; } } function play2() { getPlayer('player2').playMusic(); } function stop2() { getPlayer('player2').stopMusic(); } </script> Here's the working example: EXAMPLE Sorry fellas, I am a complete noob I am trying to detect if a users browser is Internet Explore Version 9 the subsequently redirect that browser to a new page that is IE 9 specific in my directory. My code does NOT seem to be working. Could any of you kind folks take a look and see the mistake? <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"> if(navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"&& navigator.appVersion >=8) { window.location = "SeansWebsite_2012_IE9.html" } <!-- the page that i am starting on is "SeansWebsite_2012.html"--> </script> Hello, im new and hope you can help me out. I am running some javascript on my vbulletin forum. One is for some ad network to display ads, I noticed this working in firefox and chrome but not IE. After some investigation I realised my analytics javascript snippet is conflicting, if i remove the javascript for my analytics then the ads show in all web browsers. The two pieces of code a Analytics; Code: <script src="/mint/?js" type="text/javascript"></script> Ad network; Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var EB_campid='5336510241'; </script> <script src="http://www.zintext.com/showads.js" type="text/javascript"></script> Any help appreciated. Dave. I am hoping that someone can figure out why this simple javascript works fine in Firefox, but not in IE8. I appreciate any help. PS: I see it DOES work in IE9... but I can't use it if I cannot make it work in IE8 as well.

I have designed a Javascript to carry information from one page to another. It works fine in firefox but does not work in internet explorer. Is there some coding that needs to be specified for my script to work in ie? Thanks when this page is viewed in IE (8), IE tells me there's an error on the page.

Line: 7 Char: 17603 Code: 0 URI: http://cpanel4.frontline.net/~ggarch...cufon/cufon.js Here's what that Javascript file looks like: http://pastebin.com/T2vgugm2 I honestly know very little about Javascript. I installed a wordpress theme that already contained this bit of Javascript so please be patient with me on this one. please advise. thanks in advance! Hey everyone, this problem has been bothering me for awhile, so I decided to finally stop banging my head against a wall over it and seek out some help. I'm fairly new to web development, but through W3Schools and the almighty Google, I managed to make my way through developing a site for the company that I intern for. The site is designed to query a Microsoft Access database and display the results, so employees can see the results of tests run on another machine in a different area. I did not design the database or queries for this project, but assume that they function as they are supposed to. The way the website works is by displaying a form to the user with a number of check boxes (it varies by page) that each add another parameter to the query. When the query button is clicked, I used the "onclick" action of an HTML button to send the form data to a JavaScript function to be processed. The JavaScript function filters out what I need to send to a php page that runs the query. I send the information from the JavaScript function using an XMLHttpRequest, and replace a line of text in the HTML document with the returned results from the php script. I have tested the completed website in several browsers. It works flawlessly in Chrome, Firefox, and IE9. The problem is, it doesn't work with IE7 or IE8, and even though the company I work for is making a widespread upgrade to Windows 7 from XP within the year, they don't plan on moving beyond IE8. When I load the page in IE8 (I'm running WAMP as my server), I can see that my php scripts work just fine, because some of the fields used to configure the query are generated using php, and they appear as they should. However, when I click the form button that triggers the JavaScript function, nothing happens (IE7 and 8 both report "Error on Page"). I've gone through nearly every Internet Options settings, as far as I know, and I'm fairly certain that every setting related to scripting is enabled, though I've only tried testing the site on IE7 and 8 at work and not at home (where I have unlimited security access). Below is the HTML for the button that triggers the JavaScript function, "displayTable": Code: <input type="button" name="button" value="Show Results" onclick="displayTable(this.form)" /> I'm not sure how easily this problem can be fixed, so if anyone needs to see any other bits of code, I can provide those. But my main question is, does this sound like just some setting in IE7/8 that I don't know about (keeping in mind that, with all the settings the same, the site works fine in IE9), or does IE7/8 simply have some inherent flaw in interpreting JavaScript, and will it be necessary for me to rewrite my code taking some other approach, and if so, what language would be recommended in place of JavaScript in IE7/8? Thanks! I have the following Javascript function that just refuses to work in Internet Explorer (since IE is absolute .......). Can anybody tell me why this wouldn't be working in IE and what I need to do to fix it? I am new to Javascript so don't really have any idea Code: function displaymember() { var d = new Date(); var curr_date = d.getDate(); if (curr_date < 10) curr_date = "0" + curr_date; var curr_month = d.getMonth(); curr_month++; if (curr_month < 10) curr_month = "0" + curr_month; var curr_year = d.getFullYear(); //alert("date="+curr_date+" month="+curr_month+" year="+curr_year); for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) { membershipstatus = (x[i].getElementsByTagName("membership_status")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue); name = (x[i].getElementsByTagName("name")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue); body = (x[i].getElementsByTagName("body_type")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue); ethnicity = (x[i].getElementsByTagName("ethnicity")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue); sex = (x[i].getElementsByTagName("sex")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue); profession = (x[i].getElementsByTagName("profession")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue); seeking = (x[i].getElementsByTagName("seeking")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue); date = (x[i].getElementsByTagName("date_joined")[0]); month = (date.getElementsByTagName("month")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue); year = (date.getElementsByTagName("year")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue); newa = document.createElement('a'); aIdName = 'my' + i + 'a'; ahref = '#'; aclick = 'show(' + i + ')'; newa.setAttribute('id', aIdName); newa.setAttribute('href', ahref); newa.setAttribute('onclick', aclick); newa.innerHTML = name + " | " + body + " " + ethnicity + " " + sex + " " + profession + " with " + membershipstatus + " membership seeks " + seeking + "<br/>"; if (curr_month == month && curr_year == year) { document.getElementById("member").appendChild(newa); } } } Hi there i have been looking around the internet for a way to resolve the problem i have, admittedly i may well of read the answer several times but being relatively new to JavaScript i am still unclear on much of the terminology. Well basically my problem is that i have a piece of code which wen tested on my mac i was using Firefox, safari, opera etc. all these worked fine when it came to pc testing with internet explorer i was presented with the following errors..... Error Details: 1) Line:32 Char:16 Error: 'getElementsByTagName(...).0.src' is null or not an object Code:0 URL:http://www.janedelacey.co.uk/html/press.html 2) Line:53 Char:41 Error: Object doesnt support this property or method Code:0 URL:http://www.janedelacey.co.uk/html/press.html The url is a clients webpage i dont think this has any effect on the issue. Here is the code for the page if this helps anyone in helping me resolve the issue!
