Firefox 10 - unclickable buttons?

Image
By User



Has anyone seen this behavior:





I have a couple of HTML buttons used to drive a content rotator:







<div id="rotatorControls" class="rotatorControls" runat="server">

    <input name="previous" id="previous" type="button" value="&laquo;" />

    &nbsp;

    <input name="next" id="next" type="button" value="&raquo;" />

 </div>







The buttons are activated with a little jQuery:







$(document).ready(function() {

            mcarousel = $("#carouseldiv").msCarousel({ boxClass: 'div.box', height: 100, width: 450 }).data("msCarousel");

            //add click event

            $("#next").click(function() {

                //calling next method

                mcarousel.next();

            });



            $("#previous").click(function() {

                //calling previous method

                mcarousel.previous();

            });

        })







In IE this works fine...in Chrome and FireFox 10, the buttons aren't clickable. When I roll my cursor over the buttons, the cursor doesn't change and the buttons don't highlight like other buttons do.





Anyone seen this before and/or have any ideas how to fix this? I've already tried setting the z-index on the buttons, and moving them out of the container div (thinking an invisible element is blocking the click), but neither of those worked.





Any help would be appreciated.





EDIT





I'm using the mCarousel plugin provided by Marghoob Suleman (http://www.marghoobsuleman.com/jquery-ms-carousel)

    At a guess without the full code, I would suggest checking the relevant js files have loaded correctly for this plugin in Firefox and Chrome. Also it would be worth noting in the question that it is via a plugin not standard jQuery that this functionality is from.

    Maybe you're missing something from the original implementation:

    For example the boxClass: 'div.box' pointing to the wrong place.

    I had this same problem yesterday with a late version of Firefox and I found help on this site from Mikey G.

    This may help if you want to go this route, it worked for me on a similiar issue, also with a slideshow.

    Place your functions inside the buttons:

    <input name="next" id="next" type="button" onclick="$mcarousel.next();" value="&raquo;" />


    Forgive me if I left out a character or two, still pretty new.

    It doesn't seem to be z-index, I've found info that suggests sometimes Firefox has problems with '.click()'

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
