Hi Matthew,

As I am using MacOS now, I do not have firefox installed so will not be able to replicate the problem.

Could you paste here any errors you receive in Firefox’s error console and I will look at your source and try to resolve them
Thanks

Hey Stephen,

Like I said, I got the JavaScript that’s not playing nice with Firefox 3.5 on my site, which is located if you click my comment’s author text.

You’ll need to register (sorry!), the BBCode toolbar is visible on News Comment pages, forum threads and new thread pages.

I hope you can identify the issue.

oO it sanitised it for me – maybe its just if you reply through the admin?

Groomi, did you notice that in your last comment html was parsed surely this is a security risk

Sure, I’ll pop you a email. I know it works on Firefox 3.0, just not v3.5.. Heh.

I also renamed the function to smileyinsert().

Cool, Credit is good

Er.. re: the error, it was never tested with firefox 3 IIRC, just 2 and safari etc etc

The only thing that I could suggest that would trigger a “field” error is if you call the function wrong. Remember, it is bbcode_ins(“fieldId”, “tag”) which would refer to

If you can find me a link to the page where you are using it I will do a little bit of investigation

Thanks

It works well in IE 7, but in Firefox 3.5 I get a “field is null” error in the Error Console.

Any fix? I just used your JavaScript (the IMG and URL prompt text), edited it a bit and gave you a line saying “Source from Groomi…”.
