Elemental Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hello Folks, I was playing around, what I call learning, with the tooltip js from www.walterzorn.com. I'm using a very simple tooltip, it's actually an example reply from justsomeguy to a post, but I keep getting the IE error message:Line: 2Char: 1Error: Invalid characterCode: 0And I can't find what the error is; granted it could be right in my face but if it is I don't know what it is, so...Here's the html and js I'm using, the js code is linked to the tooltip documents. [quote]<!--DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"--><html><head><title>ToolTip</title><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><script type="text/javascript"></script></head><body><script type="text/javascript" src="ToolTip_Pop-Up/wz_tooltip.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="ToolTip_Pop-Up/tip_balloon.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="ToolTip_Pop-Up/tip_drag.js"></script><a href="java script:void(0);" onmouseover="Tip('Some Text');" onmouseout="UnTip();">Homepage</a></body></html>[/quote] Peace,Elemental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowayex Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Without looking at your js files I can't really help you much. Please post your js files. And for longer bits of code, please use "codebox" instead of "code". Yours is fine, but I'm just letting you know ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Why do you have an empty script element here? <script type="text/javascript"></script>Oh, and your DOCTYPE is written wrong, aside from that, I highly recommend HTML Strict, not transitional.<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 There's a link in my signature to download DebugBar for IE, that should give you some Javascript errors that would actually be helpful. The normal IE error messages use sunspot cycles and the Maya calendar to generate line and character numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elemental Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks guys, I'm not quite sure what to make of the "sunspot cycles and the Maya calendar" I'll have to look that up in my Astrotechnology for Dummies Guide Book.Peace,Elemental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I was mistaken, it doesn't use sunspot cycles and the Maya calendar. It actually uses gamma ray bursts, lottery numbers, and the average testosterone levels of Vancouver males ages 14-18 to calculate the line numbers that it shows in error messages. The only question is how it gets access to that information, must be one of those web2.0 things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elemental Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 justsomeguy, Don't take this the wrong way but, you inspire me.Your creative, passionate and unattached "description" of IE is, how can I put it, pure love. It's obvious, to me, that years of careful examination of the subject have given you an undying affection for the same.ROCK ONPeace,Elemental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
