Why won't javascript on this board work for me? I'm running FF 1.5.0.4 on Win2K with Sun Java v 1.5.0.

I don't know. I'm running 1.5.0.4 on Windows XP and everything on this board works fine for me. Quote:

This has nothing to do with javascript except for the letters J, A, V, and A in the name.

What happens if you double-click in the post editing area (the one I'm typing into right now)? I'd expect it to select the word I double-clicked on, but in IE, I'm getting a JavaScript error. I wonder if it's an IE-ism, or if it's actually broken?

Scratch that. It's an IE-ism, works fine in FF 1.5.0.3. Specifically which bit of Javascript on the board is broken, anyway?

Not saying it's broken, just doesn't work for me. In the "Reply to" box I can't get the smilies or Instant UBB Code to work, clicking on them does nothing (in IE & FF) hovering over the smilies shows "javascript:void(0)" and the UBB code "javascript: x()"

Line: 155
Char: 1
Error: Object Expected
Code: 0

Is this perhaps a BBS error since the upgrade?

I'm not sure when the upgrade was, but the smilies haven't worked for me for a few weeks. I've been getting the correct symbols from the pop-up notes.  Everything else seems to work for me in firefox.

Can you do a linky (or anything else in the UBB Code box)?

The upgrade was a few weeks back. The instant UBB code hasn't worked from that date in Firefox. I've yet to try with IE.

You can do links and images etc but you have to manually type in the code.

Javascript lives purely in the browser and is not added to the browser by any plugin (java plugin, flash, etc). Proper history, including how it is an offspin of ECMAScript at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript

Oh- no. I didn't notice that I couldn't because I've always just added that manually anyway.
None of "Instant Graemlins Instant UBB Code Font color" work for me, either.

I can't find a definition of "offspin" except in the cricketing sense, so maybe it does indeed mean the reverse of "spinoff", but just for certainty's sake, Javascript was lashed together at Netscape, and only later standardised as ECMAScript. ECMAScript compliance only, without reimplementing all the Netscape Javascript foibles, is not good enough for real-world web browsers.
