Pop up not working in IE - FSCommand? ExternalInterface?

1

Hi there! i’m having a problem with a javascript popup window not working in IE. It seems to be the getUrl and an active X issue. It works fine in FF and Safari. When i try it in IE the javascript transparent overlay shows up, but the pop up window does not open.:puzzled:

After reading post after post it seems that I either I need to be using an FSCommand with a VB Script for ie, or ExternalInterface class which is way beyond my comprehension at this point unfortunately. I have tried several things on my own as well, and can’t get anything to work.

I was wondering if someone here had a moment to either lead me in the write direction or help me change the code I have into what will work for IE? There are a few others having the same problem that you would be helping immensly!!:smiley:

Here’s my AS code (the obvious)…

 on (release) {
    getURL("javascript:LightboxDelegate1('images/eyes1.jpg','Editorial & Promotional')");
}

and here’s the code I have in my html file…


<script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lightbox.js"></script>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<script type="text/javascript">
function LightboxDelegate1(url,caption) {
var objLink = document.createElement('a');
objLink.setAttribute('href',url);
objLink.setAttribute('rel','lightbox[editorial]');
objLink.setAttribute('title',caption);
Lightbox.prototype.start(objLink);
}
</script>

We are currently working on getting this fixed.  You can view it on Safari or Firefox.  If you do not have one of these browsers, you can download <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/">Firefox free here</a>!</p>
