random text

[CyberShot]

I am not sure what category to put this in, so I am putting it here. I am trying to make a random quotes generator. It works. But not in I.E. Here is the test site

can anyone offer a suggestion.

 

<?php
class quotes
{
function quotes() {

	switch(intval(rand(1,5)))
	{

		case 1:
			$this->quote = "A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing 
-Emo Philips" ;
			break;
		case 2:
			$this->quote = "It was when I found out I could make mistakes that I knew I was on to something -Ornette Coleman" ;
			break;
		case 3:
			$this->quote = "You can't build a reputation on what you're going to do -Henry Ford";
			break;
		case 4:
			$this->quote = "People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be -Abraham Linkcoln";
			break;
		case 5:
			$this->quote = "Good advice is something a man gives when he is too old to set a bad example -Francois de La Rochefoucauld ";
			break;

	}
}
}

		$quotes = new quotes();
		echo $quotes->quote;

?>

on ie, when i open it as in a new windows, it works

but when i just refresh it in the same window, it doesnt work

 

 

so, show us the javascript

Thats a problem with your AJAX (or jQuery) code, not the PHP...

[greatstar00]

and your javascript code is very messy

hard to read!!!

What? You find this difficult to read?

function getRandom() {
$("#random").hide();
$("#random").load("quotes.php", '', callback);
}

function callback() {
$("#random").show("slow");
setTimeout("getRandom();", 10000);

}

$(document).ready(getRandom);

I don't think it is a problem with the jquery. The code works as intended in

 

firefox

opera

google chrome

saffari

 

The only browser I can't get it to work in is I.E 8. It just blinks. the message never changes. Just blinks every few seconds. That shows that the jquery is doing what it is suppose to. I was hoping someone might now what the issue is. If you think it's the jquery, offer up a sollution.

I'd recommend downloading an older version of jQuery, No loss and it may fix your problem. I've not seen this problem happening, and my (old) IE 6.0 works fine with it.

well, I used I.E tester to check that and it does not work. it just keeps repeating the same one over and over

Could it be a caching issue?

I don't know. I am testing online again and it is working with no changes. I am wondering if it is buggy
