Javascript not working in IE7

I am using a Moodalbox that fires <onload>

It works perfectly in Safari and Firefox as well as IE6 but not IE7. Here is the code that I am using:

I don't know much about java script...

<script type="text/javascript">
function go(){
	MOOdalBox.open("pop-up.html", "", "325 200");
}
</script>
 
<body  leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" onload="MM_preloadImages('images/nav-about-o.jpg','images/nav-players-o.jpg','images/nav-members-o.jpg','images/nav-contact-o.jpg','images/nav-professionals-o.jpg');go();" >

I see TWO divs with ID="mb_overlay"

That would not work in IE (it would create a collection):
javascript:alert(document.all('mb_overlay').length)

<DIV id=mb_overlay style="FILTER: alpha(opacity=0); VISIBILITY: hidden; opacity: 0" _element_extended_="true" opacity="0"></DIV>
<DIV id=mb_center style="DISPLAY: none; MARGIN-LEFT: -125px; WIDTH: 250px; HEIGHT: 250px" _element_extended_="true">
<DIV id=mb_contents _element_extended_="true"></DIV></DIV>
<DIV id=mb_bottom style="DISPLAY: none" _element_extended_="true"><A id=mb_close_link href="#" _element_extended_="true"></A>
<DIV id=mb_caption _element_extended_="true"></DIV>
<DIV style="CLEAR: both" _element_extended_="true"></DIV></DIV>
 
<DIV id=mb_overlay style="FILTER: alpha(opacity=0); VISIBILITY: hidden; opacity: 0" _element_extended_="true" opacity="0"></DIV>

Thank you so much for your response. I can't figure out were in my code I'm calling up two of these divs. Could you help me figure that out as well?

It is not your code as far as I can tell it is the moodalbox.

Such are the issues with these bloated seemingly easy to use tools.

I do not like to use them for the same reason. When something fails it is near impossible to fix without delwing deep into the often opaque code.

Perhaps you can ask the developer of the tool? I am sure there is a bug reporting page somewhere

mplungjan,

Thanks for your help. I went to the mootools forum and found that I can use a
window.addEvent('domready', go)

Seems like it is working. Why? I don't know:)

It makes sure all document objects have loaded.
So the result of my investigation seems to not have been the cause of the problem

Feel free to accept your on solution and close the question
