Curious problem with PHP and Netscape

Where's the 'first click'? I can't see that with IE, or do I press on the image?

Never you mind, I fixed it.

It was the CSS, conflicting with the Slooze code. Specifically, the link bar at the top is in a that doesn't close within the code, and I had padding around it and a border, and Netscape wouldn't do that for an element that doesn't close.

Now to find the problem within Slooze and fix it.

sorry, Wil, missed your comment -- There should be a list of items to click on right on the front page.

Aha - got them. Glad you got it sorted!

Cute baby

Ah, thanks, Wil. It's a good thing he's cute because he's 3x as demanding as his brother and I'm 2x as busy.

I've actually run into another problem -- I can't seem to get the tag to close. In fact, I don't know where in the code to look.

There are two areas where I can put the opening part, but I can't get the closing part to go in the right place. If I put it in code sample #1, the goes at the end of each link in the breadcrumbs at the top of the page. If I put in code sample #2, it misses the breadcrumbs altogether.

CODE SAMPLE #1

/* private: show a hyperlinked topic heirarchy down to the given topic */
function showNav( $topicID = "/" ) {
if ($topic = $this->ct->getTopic($topicID)) {
$desc = $this->defaultText($topic['Description'], SLZ_STR_NO_DESC);
if ($topicID == "/") {
$this->show("actionURL . "\">" . $desc . "");
}
else {
$this->showNav($topic['ParentTopicID']);
$this->show(" : actionURL . "?TopicID=" . urlencode($topic['TopicID']) . "\">" . $desc . "");
echo "";
}
}
}

CODE SAMPLE #2

/* private: render a page body for a given topic */
function renderTopic( $topicID = "/", $sort="" ) {
echo "";
if ($topicID != "/") {
$this->showNav($topicID);
}
$topic = $this->ct->getTopic($topicID);
$this->showTopic($topic);
$subTopics = $this->ct->getTopicsInParentTopic($topicID);
$this->showTopics($subTopics);
$pictures = $this->ct->getPicturesInTopic($topicID);
if ($sort != "") {
$this->showSortType($sort);
$pictures = $this->sortPictures($pictures, $sort, $this->sortThreshold);
}
$this->showThumbs($pictures);
if ( (count($pictures) > $this->sortThreshold) || $sort!="" )
$this->showSort($topicID);
if ($this->admin) {
$this->showFormUpdateTopic($topicID);
if ($topicID == "/") {
$this->showFormAddTopic();
$this->showRolls();
$this->showFormAddRoll();
}
else {
$this->showFormDeleteTopic($topicID);
}
}
$this->showFormSearch();
echo "";

}

Where do you want the ?
Did you already fix that too?

Ah, no, sadly, I am flummoxed.

I want the darn to go at the end of the last link in the breadcrumbs.

So on a page like this:

http://carterjackson.com/joshua/photogallery/photos.php?RollID=2002march&FrameID=020331-snork

The HTML would read:

Joshua's Photo Gallery
: Joshua
: 5-6m

SNORK! [ Viewed: 4 times ]

Instead of how it is now:

Joshua's Photo Gallery
: Joshua
: 5-6m
SNORK! [ Viewed: 4 times ]

Does that make sense?

Oh, everything in italics in my post with the two code samples is where I have tried to put the code but haven't had the right results.

I think it should go in CODE SAMPLE #1, but I can't figure out how to get it to render properly (i.e. not after every link).

instead of use

sadly, Busy, I need it to be within a or tag in order to control it the way I want to. It needs to be in some element other than the table or body element. But thanks!

see what this does...

I got this as a result:

Darn.

I'm not familiar enough with the this-> and classes to know where to start on this.

which are those lines?

one is the function itself, the other is one of the echo statements. If I remove the echo statement, it has an error at the next one. ?!

Sorry, I should have mentioned that. I guess this is why there is no closing ! Frustrating.

try this..

I was reading up on the classes thing and my very rudimentary understanding isn't enough to understand why this works, but I think it has to do with instances, right?

Fatal error: Class myslooze: Cannot inherit from undefined class slooze in /home/carterja/carterjackson-www/joshua/photogallery/slooze_local.php on line 139

I think maybe I need to research more before attempting to hack this. My understanding of OOP is negliable.

The first error is preventing the first file from being parsed correctly. As a result, the Slooze class is not being defined.

The second error is occuring because there is no Slooze class for it to extend.

So, fix the first error, and the second will go away too.

Count your braces, {}... they may not be paired correctly above line 135. You should have only one pair open when you get to line 135, as that function should be defined within the class.

k, I'll take a boo. I'm only selecting the code and replacing it with the one you offered, so it's probably close in there somewhere, lol.

I know that this is something I can understand, but it's taunting me. The damn closing . *sigh*

you know what? I think I know what the problem is. It's not the braces -- when I select php code and copy it from the browser, there is a non-breaking space character instead of a space character (part of the php code colouring script?) and it breaks the code.

Shoot!

Let me remove that and see if it works.

That was it!!

Okay, I don't need the other paragraphs, but I do see where the one I want it, and it's working, so thank you!!

happy happy! A closing tag! HAPPY HAPPY!

hmmm... found another place where it should be but it isn't. how odd.

It's there when you pick a gallery, when you pick a subgallery, et cetera, but as soon as you pick an image, it's gone.

So I'm going to take what I have learned and see if I can make it work.

Badda bing, I did it!! And I think I might even understand how the heck that works, too. YAY!

Thanks, Mark!

Woohoo!
