Please help,
My class assignment is due today and I am all finished except for one
small portion.
The instructor wants us to import a script from somewhere else, and for
some reason I deceided to make it more complicated than it needs to be.
What I am trying to do is create a popup when the user leaves the page
( I know pop-ups are bad, but they are a part of the course) that
displays the imported script. It works perfectly in firefox, but IE
displays everything except the script.
I am a total loss at why, hopefully someone can shed some light on this
for me:
(the closeWin() is called from the body tag using
onUnload="close Win()")
// Import a script from somewhere else.
function closeWin() {
closeWindow = window.open("", "closeWin",

I have a very rudimentary knowledge of JavaScript (I'm more of a Java
guy myself), but where you had written:
<script src='external.j s' language='JavaS cript'
type='text/javascript'>
The file "external.j s", is that where the imported script should be
stored? Rather than along with this code?
Also, and this might be due to formatting reasons when you posted this
code, but the comment that shows up immediately after the
importedScript( ) function is a single line comment, but it looks like
it's split along two lines....leavin g "here!" on a line by itself,
which could be causing the code to break.
I'm sure you'll get some people smarter than me to repsond to this, but
I just wanted to throw my two cents in.

Thanks for the response,
The imported script is stored in the .js file, and so is the script
that is writing the page 'on the fly' so, it is refrencing itself in a
round about way. But as far as I am aware, this should work, as when it
calls the script, it's a new page entirely that is created by the
closeWin() function. If that makes any sense.
The formating issue is due to how this message is posted, and is coded
properly.

In the line above, you are importing a script and attempting to execute
statements. That is incorrect. Referencing an external script and
execution of statements within the script tags should be kept separate
like so:
<script src = "external.j s" type = "text/javascript"></script>
<script type = "text/javascript">
importedScript( );
</script>
Format the above solution into your assignment.
Don't assume FF is the absolute browser of choice for javascript. In
this case, IE was doing it correctly.

If Firefox is executing that importedScript( ) call then FF is the one
that is dead wrong here.
This is what you script tag looks like (formatted)
<script src='external.j s' type='text/javascript'> importedScript( )
<\/script>
The function call should never be executed if it has a src attribute.
To "fix" it, add a second script block that makes the call:
<script src='external.j s' type='text/javascript'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'> importedScript( )</script>

Is top posting such an old habit that you can't break it?
Answer:It destroys the order of the conversation
Question: Why?
Answer: Top-Posting.
Question: Whats the most annoying thing on Usenet?

My point was that the majority of internet users still use IE, so
testing should probably be done in IE, and then checked in the other
browsers for compatability. I never indicacted that I believe that FF
is always right, it's simply not a microsoft product, which gives it a
huge bonus in my books.

Sorry for the offensive top posting. I know people have different
posting prefrences, and it does cause the conversation to break apart.
But emailing is generally always done using top posting, so to answer
your question, yes it is a hard habit to break. Especially for those of
us who only sparesly participate in newsgroupts.
Google Groups is smart enough to hide the quoted text, but I guess I
just wasn't thinking about the fact that people use different readers.
Now if I were to answer emails at work, in the fashion that I just
responded to this message, I know I would get the response "Why did you
send me back my email without answering?"
So, either one of two things need to happen,
1) Everyone adopt the top posting method, as whether people like it or
not, it is the norm in emails and likely will be in newsgroups down the
road.
2) Educate everyone who uses a computer to post properly.
Which do you think is more likely to be succesfull?
Another question, why do newsgroup posts nearly always end up as off
topic arguments?

True. Sad but true.

I typically do it the other way around but you have a point.

your question, yes it is a hard habit to break. Especially for those of

I very seldom see top-posted emails. The only time they get "reversed"
is when they are forwarded. But that may just be me <shrug>
Google Groups is smart enough to hide the quoted text, but I guess I
just wasn't thinking about the fact that people use different readers.
Its more about a convention in this group than different readers. There
are some groups that prefer top posting, some prefer bottom posting.
Still others prefer inter-leaved posting (as this one and yours was).
Now if I were to answer emails at work, in the fashion that I just
responded to this message, I know I would get the response "Why did you
send me back my email without answering?"
My first thought about that was "This is Usenet, not email" but then
after thinking about it, it falls into the same category as top-posting
at all. It depends on the convention used. And in my own experience, I
do not see a lot of top-posted emails.
So, either one of two things need to happen,
1) Everyone adopt the top posting method, as whether people like it or
not, it is the norm in emails and likely will be in newsgroups down the
road.
That I disagree with. It is up to each group to adopt a convention and
this group has adopted inter-leaved posting as the preferred method of
posting.
2) Educate everyone who uses a computer to post properly.
Ummm, ok :)
Which do you think is more likely to be succesfull?
Probably neither :)
Another question, why do newsgroup posts nearly always end up as off
topic arguments?
Such is the nature of Usenet I suppose. But it is not an "argument", per
se, to me as much as it is a conversation about the posting conventions
used in this group.
