If we don't see the codes we can't say why this happens.

Usually, the second script woun't work if both scripts have functions fired by the onload event handler in separate lines (with other words, you have two (or more) onload event handlers. That can be solved, but let's see your scripts first (if too large, better an URL or an attachment would be fine)

Thanks Kor, u r a dear. The two codes are:

SCRIPT I
<script type='text/javascript'>
function Go(){return}
</script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='exmplmenu_var.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='menu_com.js'></script>
<noscript>Your browser does not support script</noscript>

SCRIPT II
<script>
function openpopup(){
var popurl="discfrmpopup.asp"
winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=210,height=60,")
}
openpopup()
</script>

The scripts are in order of their appearance in the page. The second script works but not the first one in all browsers except Opera where both the scripts work.

I am attaching the page containing the code.

I see no attachment

Still I don't understand how many scripts are. And I still have no

'exmplmenu_var.js'
'menu_com.js'

Anyway, I see that you want to open a popup... Well, i don't see which is the event to fire the function... You want it to be open onload? This case you must have:

<script>
function openpopup(){
var popurl="discfrmpopup.asp";
winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=210,height=60");
}
</script>

and fire this function on marquee's onload handled function:

function populate(){
if (iedom){
cross_marquee=document.getElementById? document.getElementById("iemarquee") : document.all.iemarquee
cross_marquee.style.left=parseInt(marqueewidth)+8+"px"
cross_marquee.innerHTML=marqueecontent
actualwidth=document.all? temp.offsetWidth : document.getElementById("temp").offsetWidth
}
else if (document.layers){
ns_marquee=document.ns_marquee.document.ns_marquee2
ns_marquee.left=parseInt(marqueewidth)+8
ns_marquee.document.write(marqueecontent)
ns_marquee.document.close()
actualwidth=ns_marquee.document.width
}
lefttime=setInterval("scrollmarquee()",20);
open popup();
}

remove the empty space between open and popup()....

**joybhattacharya** · Mar 3, 2004, 06:15 AM

The problem is not with the popup, it is the menu scripts. The popup opens on all browsers.

Attached is the 1st .js script
The 2nd .js script is attached with the next post

To avoid "multiple onload" problem, take care about some essentials:

1. Except for few special functions (alert, prompt...) to run, any javascript function must be fired, called, by an event handler (onload, onclick, onmouseover, onkeyp and so on... see a list on a tutorial).

2. The onload event handler is a particular one, it applies only over the window object. As the window is an unique object, onload can not be used more than once on a page. There are some ways to write it:

<script>
function bla(){
.........
}
</script>
...
<body onload="bla()">

or-------

<script>
function bla(){
.........
}
window.onload = bla;
</script>

or-------

<script>
function bla(){
.........
}
window.onload = function(){bla()}
</script>

or even (useful for a multimple call)

<script>
function bla(){
.........
}
function init(){
bla();
}
window.onload = init;
</script>

3. Now, if you use more codes, more scripts, it might be possible that each script have his own onload event handler. If so, erase all the onload events from scripts and use it once in body:

<body onload = "bla1();bla2();bla3()">

or keep only in one of the scripts, nomatter which, and build there something like

....
function init(){
bla1();
bla2();
bla3()
}
window.onload = init;
</script>

thanks, i understand; but the problem is my scripts cannot be fired from the onload event handler as they must execute only if the first two if...elseif... conditions are not satisfied.

Let me describe a bit...

Following is the condition which is checked first...
<%
Dim Conn
Dim RSUser
Dim Last
Dim varUserID
Dim varPassword
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set RSUser = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
varUserID = Replace(Request.Form("UserID"), "'", "''")
varPassword = Replace(Request.Form("Password"), "'", "''")
Conn.Open "database"
SQL = "Select * from Members Where UserID='" & varUserID & "'"
RSUser.Open SQL,Conn,2,3
If RSUser.EOF Then
%>
.......
The scripts should NOT fire if the above condition is satisfied.

The second condition which is checked is...
...
<%
ElseIf RSUser("Password") <> varPassword Then
%>
...
Again the scripts should NOT fire if the above condition is satisfied

Only if the above two conditions are not satisfied then only the scripts should fire:
...
<%
Else
Email=RSUser("Email")
Session("User") = "Yes"
Session("UserID") = varUserID
session.timeout=20
%>
....
The scripts should fire now.

I hope I am able to clarify to your satisfaction.

If you have <body onload> and window.onload, Opera 7 fires them both; in all other browsers, window.onload overrides body onload.

Why not ditch those methods and use addEventListener and attachEvent insteadd.

**Kor** · Mar 3, 2004, 07:47 AM

<%....

%>

are not javascript code lines... I don't know what to say....

**liorean** · Mar 3, 2004, 10:55 AM

They are ASP script tags. The contents are scripts to be executed serverside.
