Help! Headers and Footers messed up!

I have NO idea what happened.

One minute everything is ok and then the next almost nothing works anymore.

I added a code to my Global Footer, and then most of my codes just stopped working. I removed the code and it is STILL messed up!

I noticed that whatever did this removed returns in the code, and maybe it even messed with spaces and stuff. Can someone take a look at my board and tell me what's going on? All the codes seem to be there, they just aren't working. (tried both IE and Firefox)

Remove them all one at a time until the problem is corrected.

I found out why most of them aren't working. SOMEHOW they all got their lines cut if they were too big for the edit window.

I have no idea how this happened, but I have started on fixing some of them.

glad to hear it.

AHHHH!

It happened again!

I didn't even have the same code in there that I put in there when it happened the 1st time!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Find this code, either in your main footer or global, and remove it and put it a note pad and see if it doesn't clear up the errors.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/*
Shorten long links in posts - Created by Peter

This header must stay intact.
*/
// Any links above this number will be shortened
var iMaxLen = 25;
function shortenLinks(){
var iCell = document.getElementsByTagName("td");
for(c = 0; c < iCell.length; c ++){
if(iCell.item(c).colSpan == "3" && iCell.item(c).vAlign == "top"){
var allLinks = iCell.item(c).getElementsByTagName("a");
for(a = 0; a < allLinks.length; a ++){
if(allLinks.item(a).innerHTML.length >= iMaxLen){
var inVal = allLinks.item(a);
if(inVal.innerHTML.match(/((http(s)?:\/\/|www\.)(\w+([\.-]\w+)+))/igm)){
var iNum = (inVal.innerHTML.length > 50)? [10, 15] : [5, 0];
var iEnd = (inVal.innerHTML.length - iNum[0]);
var nVal = inVal.innerHTML.substring((RegExp.$1.length + iNum[1]), iEnd);
inVal.innerHTML = inVal.innerHTML.replace(nVal, "...");
}
}
}
}
}
}
if(location.href.match(/thread=/)){
shortenLinks();
}
//-->
</script>

I just got a code on the request board that adds an &NOHEADERS=1 link calling it Safe Mode so I don't have to worry about this happening again.

But It took me NINE hours to get everything fixed up again. I haven't even eaten yet today.

Do you think it was that shorten code that did it?
Could be. It was one of the codes I added yesterday.

It is very possible. I would check your codes you recently added. If you have IE (internet explorer) You will see a yellow done but with errors note in the bottom left corner. Double left click on it and it will give you a line number. Go to view source and it will bring up your codes, Count the lines to that number and it will tell you what code it is.

Yay! You fixed it!



Strangely that fixed another bug I had as well.
