hi guys!!

we just realized that the mouse over effect that comes with hover box doesn't seem to work on Internet Explorer... is working perfect with firefox [mac or pc], but explorer doesn't show the beautiful effect :/ can you check please... the site is finally online

is there something i can do to make it work?

fold: gastronomía y estética

thanks a lot guys!

I think it is related to unclosed img tags. Better browsers just run with the error, making a good guess at the imtended result, IE just falls over.

See the validator result: validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yamingourmet.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&verbose=1&accept=text%2Fhtml%2Capplication%2Fxhtml%2Bxml%2Capplication%2Fxml%3Bq%3D0.9%2C*%2F*%3Bq%3D0.8&accept-language=en-gb%2Cen%3Bq%3D0.5&accept-charset=ISO-8859-1%2Cutf-8%3Bq%3D0.7%2C*%3Bq%3D0.7&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.654

It is possible that the issue lies with the module code.

Do you have the latest version? If not, please update and then recheck. Thanks.

hi seth!

thanks for your quick response!

i checked and i believe i got the latest version: v.2.15

i also checked the link you sent me, thanks btw... really a helpfull tool! the thing is i don't know where exactly to change the code, following the validator results maybe the thing is here:

• Line 761, Column 73: start tag was here
…olTipImg" title="Il Forno Trattoria"><img src="/images/stories/espacios/02_fo

and that error seems to repeat for each one of the images... but i looked at the code and i see it ok... of course i'm just a novice coding... so most probably i don't see it

btw... although the mouse over doesn't work on the folds [IE], on the other pages it is allright, for example this one: yamingourmet.com/es/centro-gastronomico/trattoria-caracas.html

can you tell me please what should i do to the code to fix those closing tags?


thanks!

Hi Yubisay,

Yes, that is the lines that caught my attention too. I think that we may need a code change in the module itself to fix this one, I don't think it is something you have done.

Leave it with us. I will check with one of the php gurus and get back to you with an answer asap.....

Thanks.

thanks a lot seth!!!

just let me know when you got it please....

Hi Yubisay,

Apologies for the delay, things have been a little hectic here recently.

Anyways, I have made some changes to the code (closing all img) which have resolved all the validation issues on my test site. Hopefully, that means it will work correctly with IE on your site. I will email you the updated code, as there are too many changes to post here.

Of course, backup your original file before changing to mine, just in case!

Please let us know if it resolves the issues for you. Thanks.

I seem to have the same problem, and I believe I found the solution after reading the thread. But I am relatively new to joomla and I am not aware of where I can edit the full HTML. Could you please direct me in the right direction? Thanks

Hey there,

You can edit the html for the article within your Joomla editor (TinyMCE or JCE). These normally have a 'html', 'code', or '<>' button which will display the html for the article that you can edit.

Cheers,
Jason.

Yeah, I understand that. But there is no article to work into the hover box module. The problems I am having are below. I really have no clue, but in IE the full pictures are displayed with no thumbnails. I'm just about to move on to another module or even a plugin at this point if I can't find a simple fix. Thanks

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

Valid <img> tags are written like this

<img src="url" />

not like this
<img src="url>

The backslash at the end validates your code. I recommend using JCE as it writes mostly valid code for an editor.

Hi Folks,

Ive actually just updated the module to close the tags properly. Latest is v2.1.6.

I feel a little sheepish about this module. It was one of the first ones I developed and I havent had time to get back to it. It should validate now but it needs a major overhaul.

Thanks Anthony
