I made sure that pop-ups weren't blocked. I did look at the error message generated by IEv6 and it says "Invalid Argument" for the line window.open(url,'details', 'width=750,height=700,scrollbars=yes'); I don't understand...I really don't see anything wrong with it. Any help is appreciated.

I have been trying everything to make the following code work in IE. It works fine in Firefox. Any suggestions? This is in the head tags: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> function newwindow(url) { window.open(url,'details', 'width=750,height=700,scrollbars=yes'); }...

That works too, but I'm getting the same results. Thanks for the suggestions. You've pointed me in the right direction.

Interesting. substr($row['item_text'],-100,256) AND substr($row['item_text'],(strpos($row['item_text'],$term)-100),256); produce the same results.

I am using the following code to display a few lines of text from a text field in my database. echo substr($row['item_text'],0,256) This works fine, cause at least it only shows only the first few lines of text, but really what I'd like to accomplish is only showing the lines surrounding the...

I have text boxes on my form for users to enter a range of numbers that they would like to see in the database. I would like to query to ignore the range if the user does not enter anything in the box. To do this, I basically said if the variables are empty to reassign them with the minimum...

ORDER BY $sort" worked. Thanks.

Thanks to everyone who responded. The easiest solution was to execute the code with the OnLoad event, so I didn't even use the menu in the end. I'm sorry if I caused any headaches.

It is a dreamweaver menu, but anyhow, what I was trying to do was use an OnClick event that when a user clicked "purchase request" on the drop down menu, the following code would execute: function requestItem() { var is_sure=window.confirm("Click \"OK\" to confirm that you have searched the \n...

I would like a certain event to occur when a user clicks on "Purchase Request" in the menu. Following is the script that generates the menu. "Purchase Request" is the second item in the menu. window.menu_0 = new Menu("root",130,16,"Arial, Helvetica...

I am trying to make a simple confirm box that would display "Yes" and "No" on the buttons. All I get is the Ok/Cancel combination. How can this be done or can it be done? Thanks.

I have the following code that Firefox does not recognize: l.style.cursor = "hand"; In iExplorer, it works fine, but Firefox doesn't like the hand. I've tried switching "hand" to "pointer" and it still doesn't like it. Any suggestions. I've noticed that Firefox doesn't like a lot of my...
