ChronoForm not loading in Internet Explorer.

richa_sabharwal 09 Jun, 2009
Hi,
I have created a form using the wizard. Then added a small javascript on change event of a drop down. The forms works well in Safari and Firefox but does not load in IE. I have tried IE 6 and 7. You can access my form at http://www.simian.ac.uk/index.php/courses/course-registration

I have tried removing the javascript code and disabling the tooltip and validations as well. But with no success.

Pls advise.

Hi there,

Just looked at your page and page source code in FF...
Turns out that you are using JQuery for some other stuff...

Don't know if this is the same case as mine but I had a whole bunch of issues because of JQuery which was used by the main menu I'm using...I could fix my menu to avoid conflicts with Mootools which is used by CF...

Maybe you should try, if you can, to disable JQuery temporarily and see what happens..

Just an outsider hint...Let's see what Bob will say...

FWIW...

Thanks Phil/Bob for your replies.
I tried to disable JQuery by commenting some parts in my template. But it didnt work. Rather my header image was not displayed as well. Could you advise me how to disable JQuery.
Thanks.

Hi Richa,

Please look for a recent post by Phil where he described how to do this in detail.

Richa,

Looked again at your page code and can still see JQuery...The declaration var$j = JQuery.noconflict doesn't seem to be enough...

Look at the message posted from the guys from Dynamic Drive here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29668

I bet you somehow have to dig into all places and find out where you can find the declaration of a $ variable in your template or elsewhere

But excuse me if I'm wrong since I'm neither a php expert and an even worse Joomla php player 😀

Hi,
I have included the the following code before my form HTML.
<?php JHTML::_('behavior. mootools'); ?>


The form now loads as expected intermittently. Could you suggest the right place where I could insert this code in order to load mootools before JQuery. I hope I am not heading in a tangent direction.

Hi Richa,

I'm not sure the sequence will make any difference, it's more a question fo modifying JQuery to not hi-jack the $ prefix.

If sequence is an issue then the correct question is 'How can I load JQuery after MooTools? ' - MooTools being a standard part of the Joomla code. I guess that has something to do with the template setup?

Hi,
I figured out that the problematic bit is the captcha image in the form. I anyway have to make other changes to the form. Will try to use another library for captcha verification.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
