Javascript error…

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 07.2006

I’m getting this javascript error:

[code]
Error: Expected ‘:’ but found ‘left’. Declaration dropped.
[/code]

and this message

[code]
Error: Unknown property ‘mso-bidi-font-size’. Declaration dropped.
[/code]

I’m using FireFox. Anyone know what this means?

Here’s the only JavaScript in the file:

[code]
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function new_window_three(){
window.open(‘/three_free.htm’,’three_free_window’,’width=600,height=460,menubar=no,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,left=20,top=80′);
}
function new_window_buy(){
window.open(‘/how_to_buy.htm’,’how_to_buy_window’,’width=520,height=400,menubar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,toobar=no,left=20,top=80′);
}
function new_window_ship(){
window.open(‘/shipping_info.htm’,’shipping_window’,’width=520,height=400,menubar=no,resizable=yes,toobar=no,scrollbars=yes,left=20,top=80′);
}
function new_window_policy(){
window.open(‘/privacy_policy.htm’,’policy_window’,’width=520,height=400,menubar=no,resizable=yes,toobar=no,scrollbars=yes,left=20,top=80′);
}
function new_window_help(){
window.open(‘/help_shopping.htm’,’policy_window’,’width=520,height=400,menubar=no,resizable=yes,toobar=no,scrollbars=yes,left=20,top=80′);
}
</script>
[/code]

Thanks in advance…

Mike

@Mike_BurdickauthorMar 07.2006 — Wow...fast responses!

I was editing my post so it should now have the information you need. :o

@bathurst_guyMar 07.2006 — Those errors dont relate to this code. there must be more javascript in the page, that is if these are javascript errors.

@UltimaterMar 07.2006 — Doubt this will be of help but you used the window name "policy_window" twice, once in the "new_window_policy" function and second in the "new_window_help" function.

Also you mis-spelled "toolbar" in most-all your functions (excluding the first).

@phpnoviceMar 07.2006 — The error message is not caused by your JavaScript. The following looks like something generated by using MS WORD to create an HTML page:

'mso-bidi-font-size'

@Mike_BurdickauthorMar 08.2006 — Thanks for the help everyone!

Sorry I didn't thank all of you sooner but had to attend to some other matters.

The problem turned out to be some HTML code that was messed up by MS Word as phpnovice suggested. I must have accidentally edited with that word processor. I wonder why FireFox’s javascript console found those as errors…hmmmm.

Ultimater,

Thanks for catching the misspelled "toolbar"! Apparently the "toolbar" switch must default to "no" as it didn’t show up.

They all default to "no" when at least one feature is specified. I've often tried to convince people they could save on their coding by omitting all those [URL=http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/open_0.asp]window.open()[/URL] method features for which they keep trying to specify "no" or "0".
[B]Remarks[/B]

By default, the open method creates a window that has a default width and height and the standard menu, toolbar, and other features of Internet Explorer. You can alter this set of features by using the sFeatures parameter. This parameter is a string consisting of one or more feature settings.

[U]When the sFeatures parameter is specified, the features that are not defined in the parameter are disabled[/U]. Therefore, when using the sFeatures parameter, it is necessary to enable all the features that are to be included in the new window. [U]If the sFeatures parameter is not specified, the window features maintain their default values[/U]. In addition to enabling a feature by setting it to a specific value, simply listing the feature name also enables that feature for the new window.[/quote]

Success!
