[tomkure]

Hello all.

But in Internet Explorer 7 it looks really bad.

<UL class=filmstrip>
<LI><a href="#" onClick="window.open('project_gallery/37/Winter.jpg','','width=500,height=380,menubar=yes')"><img src="project_gallery/37/Winter.jpg" width="63" height="63"></LI></UL>

I will really appreciate if somebody have suggestion how to solve this problem

Can you please explain what is the "Sucking problem" you faced with IE7? Can you please describe it.

One problem I found is
"You haven't closed the <a> tag check it out..."

Thanks and Reagrds

I have attached 2 pictures, one for firefox, running correctly, and IE7, not looking good.

My while loop for generating pictures is

while ( $i_rst = mysql_fetch_array($f_qry) ) {
  if ( $i_rst['picName'] != NULL ) {
    $path    = "{$i_rst['picPath']}{$i_rst['picName']}";
    $attrib  = "width=500,height=380,menubar=yes";
    $onClick = "onClick=\"window.open('{$path}','','{$attrib}')\"";
    echo "<LI>";
    echo "<a href=\"#\" {$onClick}";
    echo "<img src=\"{$i_rst['picPath']}{$i_rst['picName']}\" width=\"63\" 
      height=\"63\"/>";
    echo "</LI>";
    } else {
      echo "<LI>";
      echo "<img src=\"images/no_proj.jpg\" width=\"63\" height=\"63\">";
      echo "</LI>";
    }
    }

Any help will be appreciated

Kind Regards

In the While loop you havent added a closing tag for <a>. I ma not that much good in PHP. Can you send the class "filmstrip" . This is may be due to the style mismatch.

Thanks for you reply.

About closing tag, If I add it, it get worse!!!!

I have attached Jquery script.

Can you please give the url or site from where you have downloaded the jquery script.

It's my personal opinion. Don't take it too serious. Just try to avoid using frameworks or plugins. Try to implement the functionality by yourself. If you become addict to an framework you can use the framework well. But you cant implement things by yourself. Frameworks makes you lazy to code. People will say re-usability and optimized code for using frameworks. We also can code like that. We have to improve ourself

Hi Tomkure,
I just looked into the site where you have downloaded the code. The Author had specified some issues in the column "Know Issues". He specified some functionality will not be working in IE7. Can you please just check whether the issues you have mentioned here are the same one listed there. If yes means, the author himself has generated a code which is specific to mozilla alone it seems. We can try to solve it.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Ramanan Kalirajan,

Thanks for your answers and your time.

If i take this line out

echo "<a href=\"#\" {$onClick}";

then it works fine in IE7, but without open new window function.

Any suggestion you may have to change this line so IE7 can handle it is appreciated.


Kind Regards
Tom

Hi Tom,
I am not that much good in JQuery, by seeing the code I can say that, they have open a new window on click of the div itself. They are keeping this anchor tag for some work around. Have you removed that and tried it out?

Thanks and Regards

Problem solved!!!

I change

echo "<a href=\"#\" {$onClick}";
echo "<img src=\"{$i_rst['picPath']}{$i_rst['picName']}\" ....

with

echo "<img id=\"img{$ulid} \" {$onClick} src=\"{$i_rst['picPath']}{$i_rst['picName']}\" width=...

where $ulid is a counter

Thanks for your time into this

Kind Regards
Tom
