Image Thumbnail Viewer problem
1) Script Title:
Image Thumbnail Viewer
2) Script URL (on DD):
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/thumbnail.htm
3) Describe problem:
Hi! I'm newish to using scripts and I'm having trouble with this page:
http://www.aaronwinslow.com/hmrc/pho...ns/index.xhtml
When the thumbnail is clicked, the image is opened in the browser window without the desired Image Thumbnail Viewer stylishness. I think I'm overlooking something very simple.
Thanks for any thought you put into this!

It seems your entire page isn't returning the proper text/html header when requested from the server. For example, have you tried viewing your page in IE? The browser prompts to download the page instead of load it...

I've been viewing it in ff. I don't have IE installed on this machine at this point.
I just switched the text/html header to (which is the standard for the people I'm working for:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
and the script is (not) working in the same way. Do you have any advice?
Thank you! Thank you!

The page is still be prompted to be downloaded in IE instead of the usual loading it, so there's still a problem even with the change you made. FYI in Firefox, the error message reported the Java Console when the page loads is:
This isn't a typical JS error, and my guess is it's related to the error in your page's header response as well.Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Object cannot be created in this context" code: "9" nsresult: "0x80530009 (NS_ERROR_DOM_NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR)" location: "http://www.aaronwinslow.com/hmrc/photocollections/thumbnailviewer.js Line: 20"]

Thanks very much for looking at this. I realize that this isn't really the purpose of this forum... do you see anything in the header that seems incorrect? This is it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<script src="thumbnailviewer.js" type="text/javascript">

Try removing this part from your HTML:
Code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

Thanks! I removed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
I'm still getting that error that you mentioned. Any ideas?

and the seemingly related problem of the script not working.

From poking around in various forums, I learned that Firefox doesn't support document.write in application/xhtml+xml pages. So I changed my page from xhtml to html. And now the script works very nicely.
Thanks for your help!
