Page not working using the same code

Page not working using the same code

I wonder if someone could help me I have two pages that access databases. I have configured them both now to use the same database because I am getting javascript errors in IE 6.

Rushmoor (works fine in IE6)

http://www.ebusinessdirectories.co.uk/businessdirectories/Pages/RushmoorBD_2007/search.asp

Bracknell (Error in IE6 Pasted javascript from rushmoor and same database)

http://www.ebusinessdirectories.co.uk/businessdirectories/Pages/BracknellForestBD2007/search.asp

Please help I have no idea why this is messing up. It works fine in IE 7 and Firefox.

Many thanks

It's because your data is causing IE to go screwy. The line:

vsTableData[vsTableData.length] = "Restaurants/cafés"

is showing up in a "view source" as:

vsTableData[vsTableData.length] = "Restaurants/caf?

thus causing an "unterminated string constant" error.

Perhaps you should escape your data when delivering these sort of characters to the page?

Hope this helps,

Thanks for you time.

However I am not getting the same error. I am feeding the same data into both pages and Rushmoor works fine but the Bracknell one does not.

I checked the both bages in IE 6 page source view and I cannot see the

vsTableData[vsTableData.length] = "Restaurants/caf?

Error. Please help!!!!!!

I thank that I have solved it. I think that it was an error in the doctype?

You've done more than change the DOCTYPE - because I was definately getting an "unterminated string constant" when laoding the page the other day, and the source was incomplete. It is now working fine. A DOCTYPE wouldn't have changed that - it's more to do with character set / encoding.

Anyway - good to see it's working for you now.
