Popup box issue

**ghostchaser** · 11-07-2011, 09:37 PM

I decided to create a popup box for my ghost website so I can add those who want a bio on their page.

I got the code from here.

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/abox2.htm

I am running a test page here:

http://www.ghostchasersofpa.com/bio%20T.htm

Click for Bio

I disabled the auto load in the code on the generator as I want them to click on the bio button to popup up the box so everyone’s bio don’t just popup.

Now here is the issue the script will not work unless I click compatibility mode then the box will pop up.

But if I go to http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/abox2.htm

It will work without the compatibility mode when I click Show box again 1 or 2..

I tried comparing what I have and what Dynamic Drive has by viewing the source code and most of the general HTML script looks correct.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

The doctype declaration should be the first thing on the page, above the html and head tags, take a look here.
Maybe it will work if you corrected that !

I originally had it up there; it did not make a difference.

I was trying to compare and try what Dynamic Drives source code was on this link

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/abox2.htm as this page is working. View their Source Code.

The only way I can get the webpage to work at home using I-E 8 is select Compatibility Mode.

I go to work and they are using I-E 7 it still will not work.

" BUT " if I access this link http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/abox2.htm

from home or work the Popups works with and with the buttons Show box again 1 or 2..

and at home I do not have to enable Compatibility Mode to access the page to get it to work.

“”””” This page http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/abox2.htm Has to be using some type of scripting that I am not seeing in the code to allow other browser versions to work. I tried other scripts from other web sources and did not have any luck. “””””””””

You can also try my test page I made from the instructions on http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/abox2.htm .

http://www.ghostchasersofpa.com/Test.htm

FYI am using Frontpage in HTML mode to build the page.

Thanks

to make your test page work, you would need to add some more (as explained on the demo page). see the highlighted below

Code:

<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Bio</title>
<script language="JavaScript" src="Test_files/popup.js">
//Popup box II (By Brian Gosselin at http://scriptasylum.com/bgaudiodr)
//Modified slightly By Dynamic Drive
//For full source, visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com
</script>
</head><body>
<script>
window.onload=function(){
new popUp(100, 100, 300, 175, "Bio1", "Put all of your content text in here.<br><br>You can also place HTML code in here too, such as a picture: <img src=\"max.gif\">. Notice how a backslash must proceed every quotation (\") that appears in your HTML content.", "white", "black", "bold 10pt sans-serif", "Title Bar", "navy", "white", "#dddddd", "gray", "black", true, true, true, true, false);

new popUp(500, 100, 300, 175, "Bio2", "Put all of your content text in here.<br><br>You can also place HTML code in here too, such as a picture: <img src=\"max.gif\">. Notice how a backslash must proceed every quotation (\") that appears in your HTML content.", "white", "black", "bold 10pt sans-serif", "Title Bar", "navy", "white", "#dddddd", "gray", "black", true, true, true, true, false);
}
</script>
<p>
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
</p>
<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan -->
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left"><strong></strong><a href="javascript:showbox('Bio1')">Bio</a> | <a href="javascript:showbox('Bio2')">Bio</a></p>
</body></html>

But in any case I would suggest you find another script that is more up to date. This script is 10 years old and could probably cause you some headaches in the long run.

azoomer:

Ok now I am “"REALLY"“ scratching my head!

First if I view source to http://www.ghostchasersofpa.com/Test.htm

I show <script language=JavaScript src="http://www.ghostchasersofpa.com/popup.js">

Above you pasted the source code with
<script language="JavaScript" src="Test_files/popup.js">

I do not have Test_files directory in my hosting so I clueless to where this came in.

"""" NOW """"I decided to make a another test page .

This time I took the same 3 pieces The HEADER script **** The BODY script and The LINK buttons, " BUT " from the source code on the demo page of http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/abox2.htm

I called it http://www.ghostchasersofpa.com/Test1.htm

Now it works.

When I made the script on http://www.ghostchasersofpa.com/Test.htm and on http://www.ghostchasersofpa.com/bio 1.htm I used the generator on the demo page to give me the code.

Now when I made http://www.ghostchasersofpa.com/Test1.htm I removed what I had between my body tags <body> </body> and copied what was on the source code of the demo page.

Now the error that is on http://www.ghostchasersofpa.com/Test.htm says Line: 38 char: 1 error: object required. code: 0 http://www.ghostchasersofpa.com/Test.htm

Hopefully between the two test pages

http://www.ghostchasersofpa.com/Test.htm Not working
and
http://www.ghostchasersofpa.com/Test1.htm Working

You can tell in the code what is messed up

Only thing I changed was between the body tags.

**ghostchaser** · 11-10-2011, 02:37 AM

OK,

I think I have it solved.

<script type="text/javascript">
</script>

I took notice that the demo page had this code "<script type="text/javascript"> was before <!--window.onload=function(){

It was not on my page so I added it to the other test pages and it worked.

Go Fiqure. Now hope thiere is no other missing codes. LOL
