POLLS - Some members can't participate

[Big Kill]

Nope... tried Wormopolis' code insertion one more time and the "bracket BR bracket" became visible in the Personal Text once again.

So, this did not work:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--var tt = document.getElementsByTagName("td");for(ii=0; ii<tt.length; ii++)if(tt[ii].width == '20%' && !tt[ii].getElementsByTagName('input')){tt[ii].innerHTML = tt[ii].innerHTML.replace(/\[br\]/gi,'<br/>');}//--></script>

I know that removing the code will cause the BR to show back up in the personal text because that is what that code DOES. I wanted you to remove it so that we could be sure its the ONLY code that is keeping the polls from working.

I rewrote it so you could remove the BR prom personal text. you said it didnt work so I made a small change and said to try that one. there is a difference in what you tried the first time and what I changed it to.

now insert this where that code used to be:


<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var tt = document.getElementsByTagName("td");
for(ii=0; ii<tt.length; ii++)
if(tt[ii].width == '20%' && !tt[ii].getElementsByTagName('input')[0])
{
tt[ii].innerHTML = tt[ii].innerHTML.replace(/\[br\]/gi,'<br/>');
}
//-->
</script>


What is there is different then what you just said you put in

You write:

You only suggested I insert ONE code. Never saw a second one with a small change after I said the first one didn't work.

What is there is different then what you just said you put in

Not quite sure what you mean... nothing different...

I took this out:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var tt = document.getElementsByTagName("td");
 for(i=0; i<tt.length; i++)
  if(tt[i].width == '20%')
   {
    tt[i].innerHTML = tt[i].innerHTML.replace(/\[br\]/gi,'<br/>');
   }
//-->
</script>
And I put this in:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--var tt = document.getElementsByTagName("td");for(ii=0; ii<tt.length; ii++)if(tt[ii].width == '20%' && !tt[ii].getElementsByTagName('input')){tt[ii].innerHTML = tt[ii].innerHTML.replace(/\[br\]/gi,'<br/>');}//--></script>
... and the "bracket BR bracket" becomes visible.

So, then I remove that and put this back in

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var tt = document.getElementsByTagName("td");
 for(i=0; i<tt.length; i++)
  if(tt[i].width == '20%')
   {
    tt[i].innerHTML = tt[i].innerHTML.replace(/\[br\]/gi,'<br/>');
   }
//-->
</script>
... and the "bracket BR bracket" disappears from the Peronal Text in people's posts. (If I actually type the code "bracket BR bracket" it doesn't show up in these posts AND puts a break in my message.)

I EDITED the code I told you to replace it with. there is a difference but its literally 3 characters. look at my post above your last response. use THAT code

[Big Kill]

O.K., I'll try it now - it wasn't clear to me that you had edited the original (though I believe the edited version is what I copied and pasted earlier. I will copy and pasted the code above my last response.

[Big Kill]

O.K., I removed the old code, as before, and replaced it with the code you suggested.
The break code is now visible in people's posts.
I left the code in so you could see it.

well I just ran it from a console and it ran ON your board. the one thing different however, is, see how you have the code in your h/f all on 1 line instead of formatted the way it looks above? put linefeeds into the code in your h/f so it looks like the code above.

[Big Kill]

Whew!
That did it.

When I copied and pasted it in, it was formatted the way you saw and I had no idea that the "linefeeds" (a new term for me) made any difference.

Thanks for your time, Wormopolis.

I still feel like I'm going to have to set aside a couple of days when I finally have to move to V5!

yeah the conversion is going to be challenging for everyone, but the benefits are worth it IMO
