Trying to get script.aculo.us showIt to run. desperate...

[netchicken]

Hi there,

I am flumoxed with this error that has been plaguing me.

I have loaded up script.aculo.us and prototype, and tried to tet them to run, just simple stuff, to slide down and fade extra information

with the core of it bolded...

<h2 class="ajax_h2" style="cursor: pointer" onclick="showIt(Effect.Appear('latest-posts'))">More latest posts- click for more</h2>

<DIV id="latest-posts" style="display:none">
<h2 class="ajax_h2" style="cursor: pointer" onclick="hideIt(Effect.Fade('latest-posts'))">Click to close </h2>

(on this site http://stuffucanuse.com/)

It works OK for Opera, and IE7, but not for firefox, generating a

"showIt is not defined
onclick(click clientX=0, clientY=0)" error ( you gotta love the firefox webdesign tools, they are amazing for things like this)

Now the same code is on my php page as well.

[PHP]$message = "
<span style=\"cursor: pointer\" onclick=\"showIt(Effect.Appear(\'content$messageco unt\'))\"><small> Click for text</small></span>

<div id=\"content$messagecount\" style=\"display: none;\" ><div class=\"messagetext_online\"> $post_message[message]

<div align=\"right\" style=\"cursor: pointer\" onclick=\"hideIt(Effect.Fade(\'content$messagecoun t\'))\"><small> <b>Close</b></small></div>

</div></div> "[/PHP]

(page here http://xmb.stuffucanuse.com/xmb/misc.php?action=online)

Now this works ONLY in IE, and generates the same errors in firefox, and also in Opera
showIt is not defined
onclick(click clientX=0, clientY=0)


I am stuck, I have looked everywhere on the net, read the forums, tried all I know, but I can't get this simple code to run.

Really would appreciate help on this :) I can't move on until its resolved.

Thanks....

Heya, netchicken. Welcome to TSDN!

Where is showIt defined? I don't see it anywhere in your source....

Hey there :)
Thanks for the fast reply :)

I don't know where or how to define it.
There is nothing about defining it on script.aculo.us at all, no one else seems to have a problem with it either.

Is it that the script is trying to run before the js packages have loaded?
