Ask the 8ball · **Released**: 04-29-2002

this is another one of those scriptlets i had collected that i modified to provide a bit of fun for my users but its giving me a bit of a problem, its completely functional, just the response to the question is being parsed to the top of the page rather than under the question

add a template called 8ball
and insert the following

PHP Code:


			
<html>



<head>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">



<!-- Begin

function checkrequired(which) {

var pass=true;

if (document.images) {

for (i=0;i<which.length;i++) {

var tempobj=which.elements[i];

if (tempobj.name.substring(0,8)=="required") {

if (((tempobj.type=="text"||tempobj.type=="textarea")&&

tempobj.value=='')||(tempobj.type.toString().charAt(0)=="s"&&

tempobj.selectedIndex==0)) {

pass=false;

break;

         }

      }

   }

}

if (!pass) {

shortFieldName=tempobj.name.substring(8,30).toUpperCase();

alert("Error you did not post any "+shortFieldName+" , try again.");

return false;

}

else

return true;

}

//  End -->

</script>

the answer in the corner is a bug hence its a beta release.

the header info you get on my forums is in the process of being hacked right now to support multiple cookies, just refresh it and it goes away.

if anyone has an idea of how to get the answer to appear under the question i could really use it

Xi the js should work on anything higher than ie 4 and ns 4, if the browser cnt use it , it should ignored, the js only provides the idiot correct of someone submitting a blank question

 eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("8ball")."\");");

up. Place before

PHP Code:


			
  if (isset($requiredquestion) AND $requiredquestion!="") {

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
