Lightbox and Feedback button not working in IE8

Hi,

Reference this website: http://acalliance.org, I have added the lightbox code to the two green buttons at the top of the page next to the logo, "Join Now" and "Donate". The code works great when testing in Chrome and Firefox, but when clicking either button using IE8, nothing happens.

Another issue is with the Feedback button. If you view the site using Chrome or Firefox, you will see the "Donate Now" feedback button attached to center right of screen. But if you view the site in IE8, the feedback button is nowhere to be found.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi,

I found two feedback embed codes in your page, one inside the <head></head> tags and the other in the <body></body>. Try removing one of them. I have a feeling having two of them in a page causes a conflict with the scripts used to render them. I could be wrong though.

I'll be awaiting your feedback.

Hello,

The script in the <head> section was to display the Feedback button attached to the screen. I removed that code, and tested to see if the Join Now and Donate buttons (code located in <body> section) next to the logo would work now in Internet Explorer. They're still not working in IE.

I verified that everything still works in Chrome and Firefox however (minus the feedback button since code was removed).

Thanks,
Matt

Hi,

The forms are still not working in Internet Explorer... I have two JotForm forms that need to open in a lightbox when the particular buttons are clicked. They both work in Chrome and Firefox. In Internet Explorer, you can click the buttons, but nothing happens.

Also, what is the workaround to get the Feedback button to appear in Internet Explorer. Again, the button shows up fine in Chrome and Firefox, but is nowhere to be found when browsing the site in IE. I need these issues corrected as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Matt

Hello Matt,

I have checked your page and figured what's wrong.

Inside your code you have called the javascript source multiple times:

<script src="//www.jotform.com/min/g=feedback" type="text/javascript">
new JotformFeedback({
formId:'xxxxxxxxxx',
base:'http://www.jotform.com/',
windowTitle:'Some title here',
background:'#90BD2E',
fontColor:'#FFFFFF',
type:1,
height:800,
width:650
});
</script>

What you have to do is remove src="//www.jotform.com/min/g=feedback" in the next two scripts. So for the next feedback/lightbox scripts just use the <script type="text/javascript"> tag, without the src property and its value.

<script type="text/javascript">
new JotformFeedback({
formId:'xxxxxxxxxx',
base:'http://www.jotform.com/',
windowTitle:'Some title here for 2nd and 3rd form',
background:'#90BD2E',
fontColor:'#FFFFFF',
type:1,
height:800,
width:650
});
</script>

This is because you have called already the file in the 1st lightbox script. In IE this has already downloaded the file and if you try downloading it again would mean a conflict in your page.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I seem to be having a similar problem. I currently have a page (http://emmanuelmoreno.weebly.com/donate.html) that has 6 links to lightboxes. They all work fine in FF but nothing happens in IE when clicked. As suggessted, I have removed the src tag from all codes but the first, but that didn't seem to resolve the problem. I also tried removing all the links except for one (the one with the src tag), leaving just one lightbox code on the page, but that didn't work either. Is there anything elso that might be conflicting with the lightbox code?

Thank you

@emmanuel

Your site has a script that conflicts with the lightbox script codes, particularly this line:

<script type='text/javascript' src='//cdn1.editmysite.com/libraries/prototype/1.7-custom/prototype.min.js'></script>

I am not sure which functions in your page are dependent on this script but removing it will make your lightbox forms work perfectly fine under IE.

Hope you find this helpful. Let us know if you need further assistance. Thanks!

Hello Max,

I checked your page and it seems to be conflicting with mootools.js. May we know what part of the page you're using mootools?

Thanks.

I am running the same problem. I am trying to set up a booking system on my website http://buffalo-airporttaxi.com/ and used this feedback code at the bottom of my page

<script src="//d2g9qbzl5h49rh.cloudfront.net/static/feedback2.js?3.2.4970" type="text/javascript">

new JotformFeedback({

formId : "50078670502148",

buttonText : "Book Official Buffalo Airport Taxi Service Now",

base : "http://jotform.us/",

background : "#F51202",

fontColor : "#FFFFFF",

buttonSide : "bottom",

buttonAlign : "center",

type : false,

width : 700,

height : 1000

});

</script>

but it seems like not working as well, I see the box popped up when I click the button but the form doesn't show in the box it's a white blank box with only the heading tittle at the top. what do you think is the problem? Thank you in advance.
