a register page that i've created works great in firefox, but in ie7 for some reason it doesnt want to load/update the javascript. i've got a password strength checker which updates after a key is entered into the password field. same thing with the country/state dropdown. both work in firefox, and neither work in ie7. any ideas?
unless you share what is not working for you there can be million of things which can work in one and not in other
here is the code for password strength in register.php Code: include 'functions.php'; .. <tr> <td align="right">Password:</td> <td> <input type="password" name="password" maxlength="30" style="width: 250" onkeyup="passwordStrength(this.value);"> </td> <td>*</td> </tr> ... //displays the actual password strength realtime after each key is entered in password field <table width="16%" align="left"> <tr><label for="passwordStrength">Password strength</label> <div id="passwordDescription">Password not entered</div> <div id="passwordStrength" class="strength0"></div></tr> </table> .. in functions.php Code: <html> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> function passwordStrength(password) { var desc = new Array(); desc[0] = "Very Weak"; desc[1] = "Weak"; desc[2] = "Better"; desc[3] = "Medium"; desc[4] = "Strong"; desc[5] = "Strongest"; var score = 0; //if password bigger than 6 give 1 point if (password.length > 6) score++; //if password has both lower and uppercase characters give 1 point if ( ( password.match(/[a-z]/) ) && ( password.match(/[A-Z]/) ) ) score++; //if password has at least one number give 1 point if (password.match(/\d+/)) score++; //if password has at least one special caracther give 1 point if ( password.match(/.[!,@,#,$,%,^,&,*,?,_,~,-,(,)]/) ) score++; //if password bigger than 12 give another 1 point if (password.length > 12) score++; document.getElementById("passwordDescription").innerHTML = desc[score]; document.getElementById("passwordStrength").className = "strength" + score; } </script> </body> </html>
I see some browsers have the syntax of <script type="text/javascript"> as <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- and that could be one reason as well
doesnt seem to have any effect. i also tried removing the html and body tags. javascript does not need to be in a .js file am i correct? although i may try this way to see if it works
I figured out the solution to this problem. I had <script ...> and </script> at start and end of the function file but i needed to close the script tag at the end of the first function, and start it again after for the next function. Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function 1(){ //stuff here } </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function 2(){ //stuff here also } </script>
