Trouble with Java in Mozilla!!!

jonny.frates · May 7, 2009

My java code is not working in Mozilla but is working in Windows internet explorer. I'm new to web design so can someone help me figure out why this is happening? Below is my code:

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
// add as many or as few messages as you would like
var msg=new Array()
msg[0]="Are You One of the Millions of Americans in Fear of Losing Your Home?";
msg[1]="Is Your Mortgage Payment Becoming Harder and Harder to Afford?";
msg[2]="Do You Have an Interest Rate Set to Readjust to a Floating Interest Rate?";

// set your first set of colors.  Use as many or as few as you wish.
var colors1=new Array("ffffff", "ffeeee", "ffdddd", "ffcccc", "ffbbbb", "ffaaaa", "ff9999",
"ff8888", "ff7777", "ff6666", "ff5555", "ff4444", "ff3333", "ff2222", "ff1111", "ff0000")

//set your second set of colors
// *** must have exactly the same number of colors as the array above ***
var colors2=new Array("ffffff", "ffeeee", "ffdddd", "ffcccc", "ffbbbb", "ffaaaa", "ff9999",
"ff8888", "ff7777", "ff6666", "ff5555", "ff4444", "ff3333", "ff2222", "ff1111", "ff0000")

//set the height of the display in pixels

//set the pixel coordinates for the upper left hand corner of the display
Xpos=220;
Ypos=180;

// move the display away from the edges of the background
pad=15;

// set the background color of the display
bgcol="e7e7e7";

//add a background image if you want.
// *** for no image, just leave empty quotes (ex. cellbg=""; ) ***
cellbg="";

// set the font
fntFam="Times New Roman, Arial";
fntSize=12;

// set how how many seconds you want the message to stay remain at totality.
pause=3;


// Do not edit these values below!!!

Hey, first off: Java != Javascript, you'll get a lot more readers (/people reading for js help) if you change your title to "Trouble with javascript in mozilla". Because what you've written is javascript not java.

Second, to actually help you we'll need the entire web-page this code belongs too... Either post the rest of the code up or post a link to somewhere we can see it working...

Thirdly, can you describe your problem in more detail? e.g. is it only mozilla that you have this problem? Does it work in IE?

If you get back to us with some of that i'll go ahead and start debugging your script, without the rest of the code/knowing the problem that's too much effort.

Cheers,
Jamey

Not just the script man. Post the whole HTML page along with any linked files. I'll take a look at it after that, until then it's pointless to even try.

exactly. at the end of the day it's obviously a stock script of some description, so you've done somethng wrong somewhere. Post the whole thing up and we'll tell you where. Then refer you to w3schools.com so you can learn to do that for yourself, until then happy to help =]

Re: Trouble with Javascript in Mozilla!!!

Hey thank you all for responding. Yes it is working correctly in IE. The part that is not working in Mozilla is the red fading marquee with "Message 1, Message2, Message3". I will post the entire code below:

code tags please!!!

ahmorrow · May 8, 2009

0.0 I second Freddy's reply.

jonny.frates · May 9, 2009

For some reason in Mozilla the Fading text simply does not show up. For that reason I'm a little unsure where the problem is but I believe it must be in the Script section in the Head. I apologize because I know I sound very ignorant, but I am reading through the tutorials and trying to learn not JUST copying code. Thank you all again for your help.

We meant post your HTML wrapped between forum code tags

:CODE; (HTML here) :\CODE;

Instead of : put [ and instead of ; put ]. A lot like HTML tags no?

ahmorrow · May 9, 2009

If you could UPLOAD the files seperatley or as a zip file we could download them and debug them here.

jonny.frates · May 9, 2009

Not exactly sure how to upload to the forum website, but I have it on my URL at: www.nationalhousingconsultants.org

ahmorrow · May 10, 2009

Change line 29 to read like this:

Code:

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

... instead of...

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

See if that helps. I'll try to do some debugging... but I hate debugging code that doesn't really explain what it does, just tells you what to change.

ahmorrow · May 10, 2009

Then if you want to try debugging it yourself in FF.

Tools-->Error Console

alternatively

ctrl+shift+J

To add to that find anywhere where your tag is written in uppercase and change it to lower case, then the same with attribute names. Your doctype is xhtml strict, this will throw up billions of errors if validated.

ahmorrow · May 10, 2009

Can't believe I missed that lol. Make sure ALL of your opened tags are closed in the order they are opened. And close image and other tags that don't normally require an ending tag like this:

Code:

<img src="url" />
//and
<br />
//etc

ahmorrow · May 10, 2009

... or just take out that xml strict...

It's not that it makes it much harder, but you'll have to go through this all just about line by line to make it work perfectly. To do that you'll either need experience, or access to all the files... and since you're linking to files that aren't there--the css, etc--we kinda can't.
