Firefox javascript won't work (works in IE)

I have created an ascx control and I am calling
registerclients criptblock. The path to the js file is relative to the
aspx page and not the ascx file. The function runs fine in IE7 but in
Firefox the error console says that the function is not defined. I
tried making a very basic js file to get it to work and I am having
the same problem. My js file is as follows

function testjs()
{
alert("test fired");
}

I look at the page source in Firefox and it looks correct
<script src="/JavaScript/test.js" type="text/jscript"></script>

My page that i am running is /test.aspx and the js file is located in /
JavaScript/test.js. I put an <inputon with onclick="testjs ();" and
firefox says testjs is not defined. I am at a loss as to why this
won't work but works fine in IE. I am not doing any specific IE
functions.

I think it should be

<script src="/JavaScript/test.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

(Note jscript --javascript). JScript is IE-specific stuff, so Firefox
probably ignores it because of the type

OMG I cannot believe I didn't see that. Guess I need to pay more
attention to intellisense. I never used the jscript before I don't
know how I missed it now. Thanks.

(Sorry if this is a repost...my newsreader keeps crashing on the posting--I don't know if the message going out or not) For some reason this javascript just won't work in Firefox. It works fine in IE, though. I know, IE is a bit more permissive than IE, and sometimes lets errors work when they shouldn't. But from what I can see, I just don't see what's wrong.

I've made tooltips work in Firefox*, but tooltip doesn't appear at the specified location until the SECOND time that the user passes the mouse over the location with the mouseover event. What I want is for the user to be able to put the mouse over text that gives a year (e.g., "(1932)", "(1946)" and "(1923)") and see the tooltip to the right and slightly beneath the year. (For the record -- this needn't concern the debugging effort --...

I'm trying to figure out why this script will work in IE 6 but not Firefox, and so I need someone here with a far better grasp on javascript to explain this. Basically, I have a page with several thumbnails. Above these thumbnails I placed a large picture with text next to it to describe what the picture is about. So, when you click a thumb, the large pic AND text change dynamically to reflect the thumbnail -- see...

Hi there, I subscribed to a photographic pictures-hosting website which is heavy on JavaScript. My preferred latest browser Mozilla Firefox does not work with it -- no pictures are displayed and no buttons react to clicking. The website's helpdesk says it should work with Firefox, and could not offer any more advices. The JavaScript Console shows that there are numerous errors occuring. It looks like the web browser does not recognise...

Hi. Please take a look at this page: http://tinyurl.com/s2l8w In IE6, putting the mouse on each of the two items highlights the word in a blue (different image) and shows a tool tip. In Firefox(1.5.0.6), nothing shows when mouse goes over it. Please view the source of that simple page (with some JavaScript) to see if you know how I can get this to look in Firefox like it does in IE?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
