Javascript problem.

[Davey-UK]

Maybe someone can help here?

If i add a javascript banner rotator in my head template, all is fine until i try to use the BB code, or insert smilies. (Not in wysiwyg). When clicking on BBcode, or smilies it shoots me to the top of the page, and inserts nothing.

If i remove the java from my header all works fine!
I notice that exactly the same happens on this site.

I really want to add this javascript banner rotator, but as i said, it seems to be conflicting with other functions of the board.

Is there another way to get round this problem?

Thanks in advance for any help.

ps As i said, i get the same problem on here also. Maybe something to do with your online users addition in the header? Has anyone else got this problem here?

More info please?

This is the script that i added.

<script language="JavaScript1.2">


var slideshow_width='120px' //SET SLIDESHOW WIDTH (set to largest image's width if multiple dimensions exist)
var slideshow_height='60px' //SET SLIDESHOW HEIGHT (set to largest image's height if multiple dimensions exist)
var pause=4000 //SET PAUSE BETWEEN SLIDE (2000=2 seconds)

var dropimages=new Array()
//SET IMAGE PATHS. Extend or contract array as needed

dropimages[0]="/image-1343441-10294448"
dropimages[1]="/image-1343441-5048052"
dropimages[2]="/image-1343441-10303754"
dropimages[3]="/image-1343441-5590692"
dropimages[4]="/affiliateimages/home_books.gif"

var droplinks=new Array()
//SET IMAGE URLs. Extend or contract array as needed

By the way, BB code tags had to be entered manually to make this code because of my problem with this board also.

Thanks

Bump.

Any ideas how to add java into the header without affecting the BB code and smilies?
