Link works in Firefox but not IE

[Tom]

The following link works fine in Firefox, but in IE it cuts off after the "vbjack-". Does anyone know why this would be happening, or any workaround of it?

Code Select Expand

<a href="javascript:openPopup('http://play.pogo.com/room/connect.jsp?game=Array&site=pogop&tab=1&apidautorules&auto=PlayNow&name=vbjack-plvbsf056')">Link</a>

Thanks.

<a href="javascript:alert('http://play.pogo.com/room/connect.jsp?game=Array&site=pogop&tab=1&apidautorules&auto=PlayNow&name=vbjack-plvbsf056');">Link</a>

What does this show?  Also note the game=Array...

It puts the full link, http://play.pogo.com/room/connect.jsp?game=Array&site=pogop&tab=1&apidautorules&auto=PlayNow&name=vbjack-plvbsf056

It may be a bug in your openPopup function, then.

Ok, thanks very much as always [Unknown]. I'll see if I can figure it out from here.

[Tom]

Oh, I just realized the links aren't appearing the same in IE and firefox!
Firefox: javascript:openPopup('http://play.pogo.com/room/connect.jsp?game=vbjack&site=pogop&tab=1&apidautorules&auto=PlayNow&name=vbjack-plvbsf077')
IE: javascript:openPopup('http://play.pogo.com/room/connect.jsp?game=Array&site=pogop&tab=1&apidautorules&auto=PlayNow&name=vbjack-plvbsf077')

This wouldn't be caused by the openPopup function, would it?

Are you using PHP to generate the link?

-[Unknown]

[Tom]

Yes I am.

Here's the main part of it:

Code Select Expand

<?php
if (isset($_COOKIE['room'])) {
   foreach ($_COOKIE['room'] as $name => $value) {
       echo "<a href=\"javascript:openPopup('http://play.pogo.com/room/connect.jsp?",stripslashes($value),"</a>";
   }
}

?>

[[Unknown]]

What happens if you try...

Code Select Expand

<?php
if (isset($_COOKIE['room'])) {
   foreach ($_COOKIE['room'] as $name => $value) {
       echo "<a href=\"javascript:openPopup('http://play.pogo.com/room/connect.jsp?", stripslashes(print_r($value, true)), "</a>";
   }
}

?>

The result is the same.

Here is the code for setting the cookie, if it makes any difference:

Code Select Expand

<?php
if ($add == "true")
 setcookie("room[$id]", "game=$game&site=pogop&tab=1&apidautorules&auto=PlayNow&name=$id')\">$name", time() + 525600 * 60);
?>

And , in that context, what is $game?

-[Unknown]

[Tom]

It would be assigned through the url, ie. /favorites.php?add=true&game=vbjack&id=vbjack-plvbsf089&name=linktext

[[Unknown]]

Well, it's being set as 'Array' for some reason, meaning that $game is an array.

Hey, I just changed the variable to something else and it worked!

Thanks [Unknown]!!
