Ie Dupes My Javascript Code

[!!blue]

So I've got this page www.zoblue.com/mt/powered.shtml that lists all the stuff I use on my blog (like all the back-end stuff that makes my blog work). Well, I added a JavaScript breadcrumb code that creates breadcrumb links so you know where you are on the site.

 

In IE (both on Mac OSX and Win XP machines) the breadcrumb links are duplicated. The page is called "powered" and is linked directly from the home page:

>home : poweredhome : powered

 

Also I have JS code that displays the current year and another JS code that writes a link to email me (obfuscated code) and those are also duplicated:

>© 20042004: Zulema OrtizZulema Ortiz

 

Feel free to look at the source code... another page where I use the breadcrumb links is this page: www.zoblue.com/mt/news.shtml and they are not duplicated at all. So it must be a problem with my "powered" page only.

 

thanks in advance!

Hey blue,

 

Sorry, I was blind ... let me get my glasses on. :Nerd: There, that's better.

 

Looking at it now!

Hi Blue,

 

I'm worried that my information my lead to a greater mystery.

 

I'm a Linux guy, and looked at it in 2 seperate browsers. It didn't show the error that you mentioned.

 

In your JS code though, I noticed something unique to IE. See below

 

  if (isIE) {

  oldBodyText = document.body.innerHTML;

  reg = /<abbr([^>]*)>([^<]*)<\/abbr>/g;

  newBodyText = oldBodyText.replace(reg, '<abbr $1><span class=\"abbr\" $1>$2<\/span><\/abbr>');

  document.body.innerHTML = newBodyText;

  }

 

I'm wondering if there isn't something to this function that is causing the duplication, because it appears to be IE specifc. Try Netscape on your end just to be sure.

 

It's not an answer, but maybe the right direciton.

 

Good luck!

oh my goodness! I took that JS code outta my page and now it loads fine. That code I got from this page www.sovavsiti.cz/css/abbr.html which helps the html tag ABBR work in IE--which normally doesn't and this code *makes* it work.

 

That code is also on my home page and everything works fine too. Oh, well... at least it works better now.

 

thanks,
