Problem with popup box on mouseover of baro and wind

Post by broadstairs »

Sometimes when I load my gauges page the popup boxes for baro etc display all the html code rather than the actual properly formatted box. Eventually this rights itself when I reload the page. This is on FF V3.02, anyone else see this on any Cumulus web pages?

Yes, known problem, which I will add to the FAQ. See elsewhere in the forum. Basically, it's not my code, and I don't understand it well enough to work out what the problem is. Any Javascript experts reading are encouraged to have a look at it and find a solution :)

I took a look at this problem and having read up on the boxover script web page it turns out that this is a problem like this which is solved if the script is at the bottom of the page. Now I know that it is close to the bottom of the page but its not the last script on the page, so in my customised page I swapped over the two script statements so boxover is the last script on the page and so far (touch wood) I have not seen a problem where the popup box is wrong. So it might be worth swapping these two over in future so boxover is last - unless someone else knows differently......

Thanks for investigating this - I'll switch them around and we'll see how it goes.
