AJAX app not working in IE6, IE7, or IE8 I think JS file is problem

Expand Post »
Hi Guys & Gals,

I have a JS file for an AJAX app that works great in Firefox, Chrome, and Opera, but not in IE6 or IE7. The JS file is located here: http://www.russwilliamsart.com/scripts/imago.js and the XML file it grabs info from is right here: http://www.russwilliamsart.com/galle...es/gallery.xml

I think the problem is in the JS file, but I can't seem to find the error, can someone please help me out.

thanks,

Re: AJAX app not working in IE6, IE7, or IE8 I think JS file is problem

Well at first glance it looks like your JS file contains some JQuery, so I would start by making sure you have the JQuery library included in your page. It would also help if you could give us the address of the gallery page as it might aid in finding the problem.

Re: AJAX app not working in IE6, IE7, or IE8 I think JS file is problem

The problem is with the descriptions. It's just that IE will stop working on errors while most other browsers will try to continue. Specifically, the problem with your code is with line 248. Specifically the line that contains:
JavaScript Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. description = this.getDescription();
I would delete that line if the image descriptions are not important (which they probably are). I'll investigate more and see what the specific problem is with this line. IE claims it as: "Object doesn't support this property or method." Did you write this code yourself or do you know if there is any documentation that we can examine? It would help to have some kind of explanation for the code.

the original code is found here:

I added the other goodies such as description, size, and price.

thank you very much for your help so far
