Spry wont work in Windows IE

[ddiaz]

I am trying to develop a Spry application that will access an .xml database. I have been working for so many hours, and I am starting to get this to work on the Mac platform. But, no matter what I try, I keep getting errors in the Windows environment in IE. I am so tired, I don't know whether to continue this project or just give up. I am hoping that someone can see something in this code that might help. Thanks in advance...

It displays in both IE6 and 7. I am getting the following error from the
browser tho.

Line 315
Char 3
Error: 'style' is null or not an object

It looks great in Firefox! :)

Thanks Nancy, yes, I did see the error, but what's confusing about the error is that there are only 118 lines of code on that particular page! Sheesh!

Also, would you know how I could make the floating window on the right side, float downwards so that, as I scroll down the database, the window with Tasting Notes and Storage Conditions will track downward?

Thanks once again.

David -

About the error finding issue with line 315 - it's not necessarily hitting line 315 and getting stuck_

You may have something inadvertently pointing to line 315 when it should be_ So look thru the code and check for this also_

Check one of your external files as well [either the CSS or the JavaScript Files] as a couple of these "look" like they'd have well over 315 lines of code_ One of the functions may be breaking_

I slip when using Site Manager all the time and end up having to hunt down the offending typo_

I have been developing Spry applications for about a week. I find that it is a wonderful tool for making quick projects but I ran into the same sort of issues having to do with Browser compliance, however Firefox seems to be one of the only really compliant browsers for this framework. I combined a tabbing system with the photo gallery and created an xml stream from PHP 5 and MySQL. This way I can generate unlimited thumbnails, limit them 9 to a page, and dynamically switch from the thumbs page to the main gallery page with a simple button click. I can also change prev-next thumbs all within the page without refreshing. My main problem is that the thumbnails or the gallery work perfectly when not thrown into the tabbing SPRY system. I am figuring it would be easier to just write my own DOM script to change the page properties and get the same effect, but it is weird. In Windows IE 6 and IE 7 the thumbnails get lost, however in MAC safari the actual gallery page gets lost. I'm not getting errors like everyone is talking about in the thread, but it is still a frustrating problem.

Any ideas?
