JAVASCRIPT not working in Firefox

kat9182 · 11-01-2007 3:39pm #1

I cant figure out where Im going wrong here, this works fine in IE but does nothing in firefox. I have a web page where I am changing the content on <div> when someone clicks on a certain button. I am doing this using the following:

<script type="text/javascript">
t1="Test 1"
t2="<p>Test 2</p>"
t3="<p>Test 3</p>"
t4="<p>Test 4</p>"
t5="<p>Test 5</p>"
</script>

I am calling this in the Menu div so that the div called content changes depending on which button the user prosses:
<div id="menu">
<h2><span>Menu</span></h2>
<ul>
<img onClick="history.go(0)" src="welcom.gif">
<br><img onclick=content.innerHTML=t1 src="oneD.gif">
<br><img onclick=content.innerHTML=t2 src="fts.gif">
<br><img onclick=content.innerHTML=t3 src="atm.gif">
<br><img onclick=content.innerHTML=t4 src="cdd.gif">
<br><img onclick=content.innerHTML=t5 src="tools.gif">
</ul>
</div>

Why wouldnt this work in Firefox when IE handles it perfectly?

Maybe you have a script blocker which prevents Java/Script from running?

I dont think so as other sites taht use javascript appear fine, but how do I check?

Can you post the entire html for the page?

Try typing

javascipt:

in the address bar to bring up the warn / error information. IE can be more fault tolerant than Firefox at times.

What does the Firefox error console say ? Tools->Error Console

kat9182 · 11-01-2007 4:44pm

I get an error about the CSS that Im linking to but no other errors:

Error: Expected end of value for property but found ','. Error in parsing value for property 'border'. Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://static.weddingpath.com/paths/templates/websiteSchemes/peterong/silkandpaper/style.css
Line: 292

That wouldnt be causing it would it?
Thanks

No it shouldn't be. I believe it may be down to Firefox's interpretation of Inner.HTML. This link may help you. And the Mozilla comment on it.
