JavaScript Forum

I'm not that clever so I thought I'd join because I really want to know more.. I believe in simplicity and making a new site I found a free JS that suited me just fine for what I intended.. this is it:





<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">





</script>

</HEAD>



<BODY>

<p>
<a href="javascript:changeImage('image-viewer/image1.jpg')">Image 1</a>
<a href="javascript:changeImage('image-viewer/image2.jpg')">Image 2</a>
<a href="javascript:changeImage('image-viewer/image3.jpg')">Image 3</a>
<a href="javascript:changeImage('image-viewer/image4.jpg')">Image 4</a>
</p>
<p>
<img name="mainimage" src="image-viewer/blank.jpg"></p>

<p><center>
<font face="arial, helvetica" size"-2">Free JavaScripts provided<br>
by <a href="http://javascriptsource.com">The JavaScript Source</a></font>
</center><p>



Staying on one page, it will display lots..

So I made it work on my preferred browsers, which now are primarily Chrome and Safari, and this JS works beautifully, and then for a last check in Firefox there is a fat nothing happening??!

I tried as much as my capacity goes and I'm stuck in a zillion FAQ's and what not. I give up, I'm tired, and real fed up w. trying to 'please' FF!!

I'm hoping it's as simple silly as having to add no border to img so FF get's it too, but here I'm lost.. Help or pointers would be mighty appreciated

Thanx in advance

We cannot debug YOUR page without SEEING YOUR page and the code on it.

Fair enough: here's the preliminary testpages

safari chrome and even IE can do the JS but FF just friggin'can't?

thanks

Firefox error console.

Having links to files on your HD is NOT a good idea.

True; testpage like I said, but you wanted to see it and I oblige

But could you tell me why FF is NOT executing the following:

<td class="menutbl"><a href="JavaScript:changeImage('img/011.jpg')"><img src="thumbnails/011a.jpg" width="50" height="50" border="0" /></a></td>

is to

<td class="imggal"><img name="mainimage" src="img/09.jpg" oncontextmenu="return false"></td>

when obviously any other browser does?

<td class="menutbl"><a href="JavaScript:changeImage('img/09.jpg')"><img src="thumbnails/09a.jpg" width="50" height="50" border="0" onclick="{document.forms[0].submit();</td>

then I tried adding last argument to no avail: onclick="blablabla" which somewhere seemed an add-on to 'help' FF like the "no border" argument... but no go

Thanks again

Change you function to this:

function changeImage(filename)
{
document['mainimage'].src=filename;
}

Also get rid of this in 2 spots as well:

onclick="{document.forms[0].submit(); this.disabled=true; return false;}"

stbuchok! Your a prince, thx a bunch!

Oh the onclick argument was my (cough) attempt at 'salvaging'! Gone, elimine, vorbei, herut!!

Wow, there are many solutions that are much more unobtrusive than that kind of scripting, and they're not hard to implement at all.. AND they work in most browsers

**stbuchok** · 06-25-2010, 07:28 AM

LadynRed, feel free to educate and show the code.
