JavaScript partially unabled in Internet Explorer

Hi folks,
I dont know if you can help me with this because this seems to be quite specific, but maybe anyone has an idea.
I am using the pugin for twitter bootstrap modal dialog, as recomended by someone in this forum. The dialog is used several times in my app. So far developement in Firefox all went well. But now for some mysterious reason, on 2 pages the dialog doesnt show up in Internet Explorer, althou on the first testpage its working . Strangely, in IE also the action menu for an interactive report is not showing on this page, but on another it still is. I am assuming, that this is a more an issue about javascript and IE, not about the bootstrap dialog. What could have happened, that on one page, js is not working fully in IE but only the standard alert-popup and standard js-confirm-boxes are?
I have build a similar setup here. The modal pops up from an dynamic action after page refresh, to pass on itemvalues. (I know, a bit complicated, this solution. I am working on a better one. But nevertheless...)
Here its working also in IE. So what could I have messed up, that on our server its not working in IE?
Could it also be a problem with an older theme template? I am using "Simple Green - No 14" and APEX 4.0.2.
Or is it, that dynamic actions need special grants in IE?
Thats a lot for any hint or advice.
Regards
Tobi
EDIT: also there are another problems which go in the same direction:
1) I am changing a column header name according to the selection in the report, so that it shows "Customer Number", "Device Number", etc. This I am also doing with dynamit action before refresh of that report. Its working in Mozilla, its not working in IE...
2) Textfield with Autocomplete doenst work in IE... :( Any idea?

{codea href="#" onclick="modalCus('Edward "Butch" OHare',4)"><img src="/i/e2.gif" alt=""></a>
{code}
So Butch's name is screwing up the onclick. Go ahead and try it for him, it'll crash. So while your onload code may work, and the popup for the others may work your page does still have an error.

  • Javascript menu issues in Internet Explorer 7

    Ever since Internet Explorer 7 came out I have suddenly been
    having issues with javascript menus on a couple sites. The menus
    work fine in Safari, Firefox (Mac & PC), as well as past
    versions of Internet Explorer. The issue is with any item in the
    menu that contains a hyphen - somehow the hyphen is being
    misinterpreted by IE7. Either all text after the hyphen is not
    visible (happened on one site), or it is interpreted as a line
    break and all text after the hyphen gets knocked down to a second
    line.
    Has anyone else had this problem, or know of a workaround for
    it?
    Thanks!
    janice

    Solution found and tested. It works! You'll need to make a
    minor change to the MM_Menu.js file. Click on this link to find out
    more, on my file it was line 136 that needed to be changed:

  • BC Provided javascript not loading in Internet Explorer

    I'm trying to create a web app form that anonymous users can use. I found the snippet of code (below) in the BC Resources:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery.post('/ZoneProcess.aspx?ZoneID=-1', { Username: 'Anonymous', Password: 'User' });
    </script>
    This works great in all browsers BUT Internet Explorer (go figure). All other JS is loading and working fine, but when a user attempts to submit the web app customer input form, it goes to the "you need to log in to the secure zone" screen.
    Anyone see any syntax problem in the JS - am I missing something? I there a work around? On a tight deadline - I'd appreciate any help.
    (I've created the anonymous user, and the user/pass are correct in the code - again, it's working in everything but IE)

    Liam - of course, and thank you:
    http://bankplusfb.businesscatalyst.com/bp_pen_contest.html
    To interact with that one portion, you'll need to open the toggle section, and fill out the form to upload an image.
    Again, it appears to be an IE only problem and only the submission process seems to be breaking. The toggle function, prettyphoto etc. all seems to be acting correctly. Even in EI.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Javascript not working in Internet Explorer

    Hi,
    I wrote a javascript function to redirect sites in my bsb application:
    function gotoUrl(url)
        var destination=eval(window.parent);
        destination.location=url;
    In my view I call the function like this:
      <xhtmlb:toolbarItem>
        <xhtmlb:toolbarButton id            = "b_create"
                              text          = "anlegen"
                              onClientClick = "gotoUrl('createnorm.do');"
                              groupId       = "s_c_s_m"
                              down          = "<%= b_create %>" />
      </xhtmlb:toolbarItem>
    The javascript function "alert('Hello World'); does work in the IE and in my firefox the redirect is working as well but I can not find the problem with the IE.
    If you have an idea, please let me know ^^.
    mfg
    Stefan

    Hi,
    I just did another simple test again ^^, @Eddy the redirect onLoad works fine.  I used a htmlb:button instead of the xhtmlb:toolbarButton and
    surprise surprise 
    it works fine in the IE and in my firefox.
    So I think, there must be a problem with the xhtmlb.
    As workaround I can use the htmlb buttons, but then the users can't see where they are by looking at the buttons....
    edit:
    they can see it, because I use the site attribute <%= down %> from the xhtmlb button group for my htmlb buttons.
    Now the user sees the buttons not down, but disabled
    mfg and thanks for help!

  • Mm_menu.js HTML5 changes Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox

    Mozilla Technical Support,
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/bg182625(v=vs.85).aspx
    mm_menu.js is an output of Dreamweaver and enables drop-down menus. Microsoft is eliminating
    document.all and replacing it with document.getElementById
    to comply with HTML5 standards
    I modified mm_menu.js as Microsoft recommended (so I thought) and it worked perfectly well in Internet Explorer. However, I couldn’t get the drop-down menus in Mozilla Firefox. What do I need to do to get mm_menu.js to work or does Firefox need to make additional modifications?
    FYI, I tried using the following quick fix which resulted in the Internet Explorer page displaying incorrectly:
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9"/>
    See below for the modified version of mm_menu.js
    It would be nice if the same javascript worked in both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
    Thanks,
    Robin Rembish

    Yeah, it would have been nice if IE had followed web standards over the years before IE11 came out so that programs like Dreamweaver would have "gotten it right" from the beginning, instead of their users having to "patch" the code output by Dreamweaver to make it compatible now. That's what the "like Gecko" is all about = make it work like Mozilla.

  • Using Quicken to manage a bank account, I get an error message from the bank that cookies and javascript must be enabled, but I don't get that message when I connect with Internet Explorer.

    Firefox allows me to get the bank home page through Quicken. But when I try to login, the error message appears saying "cookies and javascript" must be enabled. I have Java on my system, but in Firefox under "tools/options/ I don't find any way to "enable" javascript. I have enabled "cookies".
    I have no problem logging in at the bank site using Internet Explorer, but to use it, I have to designate it as the "default browser" before connecting through Quicken. I'd rather keep Firefox as the default.
    A bank tech representative was unable to find any commands in Firefox that would deal with this problem, although she clearly had manuals for both Internet Explorer and Firefox. So she concluded that I would have to use Explorer for this operation, since it allowed control of security level settings. She said that in Explorer, security level should be set to medium.
    Is there some similar control in Firefox?

    Firefox uses the same "security level" setting that is set in IE.

    How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then?  That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

  • Flash, Javascript and Internet Explorer

    This is driving me nuts...!!!!!! It works in Firefox but not
    Internet
    Explorer.
    I've got a load of gifs on a page that I want to swap from a
    Flash movie
    using a loop.
    This is the Javascript I'm using:
    function blankAll(x){
    document[x].src="images/splash-link-arrow.gif";
    And I'm calling it in Flash using the following action
    script:
    function blankOut(){
    for(x = 1; x <= _root.allBranches.length; x++){
    getURL("javascript:blankAll('"+ _root.allBranches[x-1]
    +"')");
    allBranches being an array containing a list of the gif names
    to swap.
    Like I say, in Firefox this works like a dream, but in
    Internet Explorer it
    only swaps the very last gif on the list........ WHY?
    Can anybody help please?
    Big thanks in advance,
    @ndyB

    Sorry Dan,
    This has got nothing to do with the question I asked.
    I know about the Microsoft "patch" and have already allowed
    for it.

  • Applets, JavaScript and Internet Explorer

    Hey guys
    Is there any way that an applet can call javascript functions in Internet Explorer? I know it's possible in Netscape, but I've yet to come across a viable solution for Internet Explorer.
    I've got an HTML page and I want the applet to be able to change the content of a certain part of the page (a marquee) every so often. It doesn't need to use a JavaScript call if you can think of a better solution, but that's the only way that I've tried so far.
    A big thanks to anyone out there who can help me
    Ryen

    There is an easy way to change HTML code from JavaScript by calling an applet, which is not exactly what you want, but is much more simplier.
    Define your applet as scriptable=true.
    Within JavaScript call the method that knows the information you want to print and make it return as a String.
    For example:
    // JavaScript
    View.innerText = myApplet.giveMeMore(); // return a string.
    // The HTML View
    <div id="View"></div>
    You can see something like that with an Swing Applet in http://www.amicworld.com by following XmlBroker.

  • Why am suddenly unable to view YouTube Videos on Firefox. I am still able to view on Internet Explorer

    I am not able to view any YouTube videos on YouTube or Facebook whilst using Firefox. My Flash Player/Plugin/Shockwave Player & Javascript are all the most recent and all show as up to date and working. On selecting a video to view I now have a blank screen which I have right clicked on & notice there is an Adhoc Plus - Block Image message and wonder if this should be there as this is not the case when viewing through Internet Explorer (which still allows me to view all videos & shows that I have Flash Player installed when I right click on the same screen). I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled to see if this would solve the problem but this has made no difference. I have also noticed on my Firewall that Javascript is not showing as an Exception and changed this to find that this has made no difference either. I am now at a complete loss - can anyone help me please as I would like to keep using Firefox. Many thanks

    There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:

    - Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])

  • Unable to use all the feature of my email service (Juno on the web) like; font size/color, bolding, italics, highlighting etc why? Those features work through Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

    When I go to my Juno on the web through Firefox, I am unable to use the tool features such as:
    Font size / Color
    Bolding
    Italics
    Bullets
    Highlighting
    just to name a few. Yet when I bring it up through Internet Explorer these features work, plus the way Firefox reads my Juno the tabs are distorted (the page is not formatted correctly, I contacted Juno they said I should contact my modem company AT& T they said no so you are my last resort.. Please help resolve my issue, THANK YOU in advance for assisting with this matter.

    It is up to Juno to enable Midas, the Rich Text Editor which is built into Firefox, with one little line of code on every web page that has RTE for IE. There's nothing that you can do to turn that feature on your self, it has to be coded on each web page that has Rich Text Editing.
    http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midas-spec.html <br />
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Midas
    Their ignorance probably lies with their staff programmers only knowing how to do it for IE ''(their training and certificates are probably from the Microsoft cabal)'', and not realizing that Gecko and WebKit apps each have their own Rich Text Editor's, which require their own small line of code to enable those Editor's.

Maybe you are looking for
