Smilies, Bold, Underline, Hyperlinks, Etc. Not Working in Firefox

[HeavyHauler]

Steve,



Any ideas as to why all of the buttons surrounding the text box don't work in Firefox now? I've never had any problems before. I'm having a hard time conveying my emotions without the ever-reliable smilies!

 

[RMachida]

I use Firefox as well but don't seem to be having the same problems.

Having the same problem as HH is. Smilies for sure, didn't try the other buttons. Haven't tried it using IE yet.

 

[RMachida]

No problem with the smiles but some of the other buttons don't work such as hyperlink.

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

Did they ever work for you guys? If so when did they stop working?

Yes, they have always worked before, but not now. Also a FF user. First tiime I noticed was a few minutes ago responding to a post regarding drills.

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

Do a refresh and try it now and let me know what happens please. I removed the code for the Code Amber alert to see if that is affecting it. It's javascript as well and is the only recent change I can think of that could do it.

:--) :-laf Oo.



Looks like that did it

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

Hmmmm, thanks for trying it. Now to do some more research . . . .

 

[bmoeller]

Bingo. Working now.



Today was the first the problem happened.

 

[RMachida]

Everything seems to work fine now



BTW, a possibly related issue, the amber alert banner never showed up with Firefox.

I use FF also and noticed the problem yesterday :{ ... ... works fine now though :-laf

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

The amber alert banner wasn't showing most of the day yesterday because there was no active alert. It will only show up when there is. Where you on the site the day before? There was an active alert then.

I was on the day before yesterday but didnt try using smilies. I noticed it yesterday because I was needing my emoticons in the political forums. When I clicked on a smiley my page would just click up to the top.

I was on that day (Wednesday?) when there was all the discussion of the Amber Alerts but never saw them until I used IE. Tried FF again and didn't see it.

 

[HeavyHauler]

I think it was the Amber Alert that was causing the problems. All is fine now.

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

I believe I said that above didn't I? Yes it was the amber alert code that caused the problem and is why I removed it from all of the pages except for the forum home page and the front page.

Well excuse me, Steve. I guess I should start reading more closely.
