External loading, MSIE problems

[zenanthor]

I have a script that loads in Firefox. But not in IE 6 or 7 beta 3, externaly that is, if I load the script directly it works.

sample page where the code is suppose to show:
http://www.freefunnyhumor.com/index2.html

Script loaded directly
http://www.thelinkexchanger.com/logi...sid=19&style=0

IE gives syntax error when not loaded directly. But not at correct line...

[Pepejeria]

Exactly what script do you mean? There is a lot of scripts on this page. Better to provide code snippet that is failing.

[zenanthor]

Thank you for your interest.

The code on the page that the loads the javascript:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.thelinkexchanger.com/login/blockadexchange.php?category=12&sid=19&style=0"></script>

The script...
There is some more PHP coding that comes before, but it does not create any output. As mentioned, it works in Firefox 100%, and in IE when loaded directly.

I read somewhere that document.write dont work in xhtml, but I have other ads that loads using document.write

[Pepejeria]

Well, document.write method takes a string, meaning

document.write("this is a string");

and not

// this is NOT a string
document.write(<table><tr> etc...);

U know PHP i assume, so then it should be obvious why the document.write is not working

[zenanthor]

Thanks. I adopted the no " from a tutorial site. I have no clue about javascript.

However, IE still didnt want to load the script. But gave me an error at line 2, char 33, expected ), error 0

I tried to do document.write each time there was an html output, but all it did was print lots of document.write("");

[Pepejeria]

Question would also be why you want to put the entire HTML in a JavaScript string, what is the point of that?

[zenanthor]

it stops working in firefox if I use single or double quotes....

[zenanthor]

it is to be loaded on many websites, like an ad exchange.

Do you know better methods?

[zenanthor]

Think ill place all the hmtl in an iframe. There must be some problems with all the html and perhaps php. I did a test where I only printed out document.write("test"); and it worked.

[Pepejeria]

It's failing because you need to escape the quotes. Lets say you have the following:

<p onmouseover="alert(''hello');"/>

When you want to make that a String of that using double quotes (") you need to escape the ones in the HMTL using a backslash, like this:

document.write("<p onmouseover=\"alert(''hello');\"/>");
