Javascript acts funny in IE & not Firefox

I have a page uploaded on a server with 5 buttons that conrol
a sub-menu selection thru javascript. When I preview the page in
Firefox it acts like it should, no problems. When I view the page
using Internet explorer only one of the sub-menus decide to work.
Is there anyone who might be able to help me fix this? Thanks in
advance for the help.

Here's the javascript that I'm trying to fix. I'm not sure
what to replace the outerHTML with to fix this, as it was written
by someone else, and I hate to admit it, I'm not very good with
javascript, so I really appreciate all your help. :-)
<script type="text/javascript">
// Node expand/collapse functionality
function expandNode( id )
var objDiv, objImage, strInner
objDiv = document.getElementById('div' + id);
objImage = document.getElementById('image' + id);
strInner = objDiv.innerHTML;
if( objImage.src.indexOf( "plus" ) > 0 )
objDiv.outerHTML = "<div id='div" + id + "'
style='display:inline'>" + strInner + "</div>";
objImage.src = "/img/minus.gif";
else
objDiv.outerHTML = "<div id='div" + id + "'
style='display:none'>" + strInner + "</div>";
objImage.src = "/img/plus.gif";
</script>

"ReferenceError: prepareFFB is not defined" I started getting this JavaScript error recently whenever I start Firefox. I would like to stop getting this error

I get the following JavaScript error every time I start Firefox:
ReferenceError: prepareFFB is not defined.

hello, this sounds like it's possibly caused by an addon. do you have any extension/theme installed, you can connect the "FFB" to? if not try disabling them all in firefox > addons > extensions & reenable them one by one to find out which of them might be causing the error message.

Can you please help to understand how the firefox decides on the Expires date for a cached javascript file ( my server did not set any Expire header, but firebox set it down).

Can you please help to understand how the firefox decides on the Expires date for a cached javascript file ( my server did not set any Expire header, but firebox set it down). I tried to understand but different javascript file gets different Expires date value when it is being cached. Please help me as I tried lot and could not get proper answer for this. Thanks in Advance.

How do i set colors on javascript coding page, colors are not seen after installing Firefox version 8

How do i set colors on javascript coding page, colors are not seen after installing Firefox version 8 . I am using WaveMaker application for web development

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

I did an update last week. My computer started acting funny afterwards and I'm not sure what to do now. I can't open any of my faxes now.

Hi paulsaundersdds,
What type of file are those fax documents? Are they PDF files? What are you using to open them with--Acrobat or Reader?
And, what happens when you try to open them? Do you get an error message? If so, what is it?
Best,
Sara

Have you tried reinstalling in the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger)?
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

My website works in IE but not firefox

this is my web page:
http://www.andrew-leonard.co.uk/Mallorca/mallorca%20ferns.htm
It usess css to define layers and javascript to show and hide the layers. It uses a dhtml menu system by Milonic to execute the javascript
This is part of the code for the layers:
<pre><nowiki><style type="text/css">
#Layer01 {position: absolute; left: 300px; top: 50px; z-index:1;}
#Layer33 {position: absolute; left: 300px; top: 50px; z-index:33;}
</style></nowiki></pre>
This is part of the javascript to show/hide the layers:
<pre><nowiki><script>
function showlayer(layer){
var myLayer = document.getElementById(layer).style.display;
if(myLayer=="none"){
document.getElementById(layer).style.display="block";
} else {
document.getElementById(layer).style.display="none";
</script></nowiki></pre>
It works OK in IE but not firefox

If you check Firefox's Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K) it'll tell you any errors it's finding and the line of code it's finding it on.
The problem it seems to be having up front is that IDs are case-sensitive - "layer02" is not the same as "Layer02", for example.
There may be further errors once it's past that, but all the current browsers come with the tools you need to weed out any further issues.

GNOME 3 acting funny when using RAM heavily

Hi,
I've been noticing that when I open many tabs in Chromium (and thus, being a very memory intensive app, it puts a lot of load into the RAM) GNOME 3 starts acting funny. Letters from labels disappear, such as the top bar menues are gone. The overall UI seems to work fine, except rounded corners and basically any letter in the Shell interface (Metacity labels and inner window content work fine).
This is a freshly installed system. 16 GB of swap and around 8 GB of RAM, so plenty of room for Chromium to have hundreds of tabs anyways. My graphics card is a 8800 GTS, with less than 256 MB (which could also be the issue).
But seriously, this is why I hate GNOME Shell so much. It looks alpha state! These kinds of bugs should not happen in a production environment
What can I do to help me troubleshoot the source? Any quick and dirty hacks?
I'll probably end up switching GNOME with Xfce if this keeps up like this

Pse wrote:How much free RAM is available when this starts happening? 8GB is a lot of RAM to fill with tabs. And even then, you have swap, so you shouldn't miss anything. This looks like some sort of bug. Are you sure this is Gnome's fault? It may be triggering a bug somewhere else.
I'm pretty sure it's Gnome's fault, however, I'm unable to replicate this.
I know it's Gnome's fault because, although not corrupting the labels again, the system feels somehow slower from time to time, in a direct relationship to how many Chromium tabs there are open (which was what caused the bug in the beginning) or otherwise, how many different app windows (so it's not just Chromium, but the whole system).
Could my system become slower when the RAM is 85% full than when it is only 25% full? Does that even make sense? Assuming swap is not being used (I have set it up so that it's only being used when RAM is 90% full or more).

Strokes are acting funny. Way too thin for the point size.

I'm on 5.5 and all of a sudden, when I apply a stroke to a photo frame, I'm not getting the width that the settings say.
For example, I place a picture on the page, I scale it, say 50%, then put a stroke on it. I barely can see it. I can put a 44 pt. stroke on it, and it looks like it's about 7 pts wide. I tried assigning it to the inside, outside, middle, same thing.
It's also doing that with the rounded corner trick. Click the yellow box, and start sliding a corner piont, and it's barely visible. I can assign a .5" rounded corner to the frame, and I can barely see the roundness.
It's crazy, and completely grinding my work to a halt.
Any ideas?

just normal, has no bearing on document size.
If I just draw a box with the box tool, strokes are normal.
It's only when I place a photo and reduce it in size do the strokes act funny.
It clearly has something to do with reducing the images.
I see there is a preference for scaling objects, and I tried both settings.
But the strokes act funny either way.

This error message just began popping up yesterday: JavaScript Application - TypeError: window CloseAlert not a function.

JavaScript Application - TypeError: window CloseAlert not a function.
What is causing this error, can you help me fix it?
I'm using Windows 7 , and the latest Foxfire Browser.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

IPad Mini with retina display acting funny

My iPad Mini with retina display's screen is acting funny. It isn't cracked, but the bottom half keeps flickering and has green line running through it.

Why does goolgeearth work with Safari & Chrome but not Firefox

When in firefox using Google maps and click on "EARTH" I receive a window indicating that to use 3D I need to install 21.0 Google Earth Plug-in with a "Download" option to click on. Note: Firefox 21.0 and MAC OS 10.7.5 have all current software updates installed. Safari & Chrome do not request for any plug-ins and 3D Earth option works fine. ANY HELP?
PS. my MAC does have an Intel HD Graphics 3000 installed but my MAC, Safari & Chrome work fine.

JKELLETT, That initially happen to me also. When you go to dolinsky296's suggested website https://www.google.com/earth/explore/products/plugin.html I saw "Download plug-in" box in the middle of the globe. When I click it the download executed but the plug-in never got installed. Then I clicked on "Download Google Earth" in the ''upper right corner'' of the website and life was good. Google Earth now works in Firefox.
