XML DOM and Firefox

[jpk872]

I've got an image, when I mouse over it a popup window shows and the person's hobbies are displayed using a CSS popup window. It works in IE, but not Firefox. Any idea why? (lines 23-31)

 
<img name=showHobbies src="" style="position:absolute;left:550;top:25;width:100;height:50" onmouseover="show(fullfile)" onmouseout="hide()">
 
           function show(dataSource)
            {
 
 
 
            if (window.ActiveXObject) {
 
            var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
            xmlDoc.async = false;
            xmlDoc.load(dataSource);
 
 
           var stringHobby = xmlDoc.documentElement.lastChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
            var name = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("first")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
           document.getElementById("popup").innerHTML = name + "'s hobbies:\n" + stringHobby;
 
            }
 
            else {
 
             xmlDoc2= document.implementation.createDocument("","",null);
             xmlDoc2.load(dataSource);
 
            // alert(xmlDoc2);
            var x = xmlDoc2.getElementsByTagName("hobbies")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
            var name = xmlDoc2.getElementsByTagName("first")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
             //alert(x);
            document.getElementById("popup").innerHTML=x;
            //document.getElementById("popup").innerHTML="blah blah blah";
 
 
            //myXMLHTTPRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
            //myXMLHTTPRequest.open("GET", dataSource, false);
            //myXMLHTTPRequest.send(null);
            //var xmlDoc = myXMLHTTPRequest.responseXML;
 
 
 
           //var stringHobby = xmlDoc.documentElement.lastChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
           // var name = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("first")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
           //document.getElementById("popup").innerHTML = name + "'s hobbies:\n" + stringHobby;
            }
 
 
 
 
            var popwin = document.getElementById("popup");
            popwin.style.visibility="visible";
 
 
            }
 
 
            function hide()
            {
            var popwin = document.getElementById("popup");
            popwin.style.visibility="hidden";
            }

One problem is you aren't specifying units in your dimensions. You must specify px, ems, etc.

Also, this is more a javascript question.

[rnd me]

i don't see a script tag opening...

the code that isn't commented out looks ok at a glance, you sure you don't have any pop-up blockers active? (i had 3 in firefox. 3. And i didn't install a single one. (knowingly at least) grr yahoo

I disabled 1 popup blocker, where would the others be?

I tried adding px to that code, but i don't really want to control it because it warps the size of the pictures. I might as well just delete the numbers in that tag.

The code is within script tags, (except for the HTML of course).
