Question

Anchor tag within <li> tag problem in IE7

Asked by: flwiii

I am replacing HTML using JavaScript.  I have an ordered list that must be broken up into 2 pages.  I am using outerHTML in Explorer and innerHTML in FireFox.  The last list item in the ordered list is an anchor tag that execute my textreplacer function and replaces the the existing list with the contiuing page.  On the continuing page is an anchor tag that acts as the back button and rewrites the first page.  It works without a problem in Firefox and almost works in IE.  In IE7 it replaces the data but freezes the page.  You can't click on anything else.  To clear it I have to right click on the page, then left click somewhere else to cancel and then I can navigate to other pages.  Does anyone know why IE is freezing the page.

Hi flwiii,
Ok, i've tested in i.e 7. It's working fine. I didn't see anything not right there. You can put try..catch() to check anything not right if required.
eg:
try{
....
var txtName = "CSpMa" + count;
var newTxt = eval(txtName);
document.getElementById(paragraph).outerHTML=newTxt;
}catch(e){
alert(e.description);
}

Hi x com:
Thanks for the try/catch snippet.  I ran it and it didn't catch any problems.  I am guessing that the code works fine in IE.  The problem must be a reaction of the Flash Navigation menu which doesn't react in Firefox.  I am really stumped now.  It must be just the Flash Navigation menu that freezes and not the whole page as I suspected.  As long as I don't click on the anchor tag all is fine.  Once I click and the new data appears, then I can't select any thing in the Flash Navigation Menu.  The built in rollovers won't even work until I right click, then left click.  Very strange.  Do you have any suggestions on this?  

 

by: x_comPosted on 2009-03-18 at 20:35:09ID: 23926117

Hi flwiii,
Perhaps you can post other involved code that mentioned for "Once I click and the new data appears, then I can't select any thing in the Flash Navigation Menu. "? Probably you can check again if anything not compatiable in flash navigation menu that build in i.e 7 too.

X_com:

I have included the complete JavaScript files that are used along with the page that has the problem in IE.  If you select "addition information" on the Navigation menu, then select "case studies" and then finally click on the anchor tag "continue" the IE hand mouse icon remains and doesn't return to the arrow.  Also, you can't select anything in the Navigation Menu.  If you do not go to "case studies" but do not click on the anchor tag "continue" then no problems will occur and you can select other Navigation options.  Once you have the freeze, right-click then left-click and all is good until you click on one of the anchor tags within "case studies".  If necessary, I have posted what I have of the website on my personal webserver if you wish to see what it does.  Let me know if this is something you would like to do and I'll give you the URL.  Code below:

To all:
Thanks for the assistance.  I am not sure of the problem, but I removed the call to the "clearChild" function and the strange problem in IE7 went away.  Must be something in the way IE's Hiearchy functions.
Thanks again
