View Full Version : Virtual Tour Page error msg on website

Had a website built by a local company. They made several different template pages for me to use for real estate business... and now I copy & save and make changes to meet my needs.

I have copied a page and made changes but it doesn't work. I cannot find what the problem is. I put 10 hours on this one home's pages yesterday, and I am stuck on this one "problem page".

Main question is "How many hotspots am I allowed to have?" I am concerned that possibly having too many hotspots may be my problem. I previously had only 3-8 hotspots on the two other pages I did this with. Those pages had farm property aerial maps with cameras layered in the pics (hot spots placed over cameras) and when clients mouseover the camera's hotspot, they see a picture of the specific area on the aerial map they moused over.

For this particular page, I changed the aerial map to an improvement sketch of a home to do a virtual tour, and have 20 hotspots - for interior & exterior pics of the home. The page pulls up fine in Internet Explorer, everything seems perfect, but when I mouseover the cameras, it shows the name of the jpg file it is SUPPOSED to pull up (at the bottom of the page), but the picture doesn't load... and when I mouse off, it changes from the jpg file name it was supposed to load to "Done with erros on page" or "errors on page."

I have a deadline on completing this final page, bc I already have a real estate sign in front of this home with directions for clients to go to our website for a virtual tour! And my home sellers expect to view these pages immediately.

You should be able to pull up the page and view the source, etc... and may find what I have overlooked... I am completely stumped on this one. The following is the address for the page in question.

http://www.investmentranches.com/InvestmentRanches/BuckholtsTx1517sqftHome/BuckholtsTx1517sqftHomeVirtualTourPage.htm

I can already tell you that none of the hotspots are touching.

YOUR HELP IS MOST APPRECIATED!!!!!!!

I looked at your page in Netscape 7 on a Mac and it works fine. There are some javascript errors though. In IE 5.1 for Mac I get errors too and it does not work.

It appears your javascript has been reformatted slightly. If you look at the source you will see some of the functions are now spaced differently. If you have a copy with the original script on it I would compare the two and make this one look like the original did. Or if you have another "tour" page that works, compare the two.

I failed to mention that it is a Dreamweaver file.

I will go back and make the spacing more like the others - amazing how a few spaces may make the difference.

If that doesn't work, I'll be right back!

I have attempted to clear up any spacing problems without success in correcting the page itself.

Any other ideas?

I went ahead and instructed visitors to click on each camera to see the picture... but I really want that mouseover function to work! You'd think if the on-click worked, that the mouseover would!

Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Did you upload it? There are spaces in all your function names.

Your mouseover functions are incomplete.

What did you use to create the image map?

There should be more javascript for those to work.

Maybe you should compare the page to one that has a functioning rollover on it now.

I will go back and work on spacing again.

I am not sure how these pages were created as to what the web builder's thought processes were. They may have cut and pasted in some java scripts for all I know.

I just go in and do a save as and plug in different file names each time I create a new page. I am limited with regard to actual troubleshooting or creating in Dreamweaver.

The page with trouble is:

http://www.investmentranches.com/InvestmentRanches/BuckholtsTx1517sqftHome/BuckholtsTx1517sqftHomeVirtualTourPage.htm

And the page that I copied it from - that happens to work just fine is:

http://www.investmentranches.com/InvestmentRanches/Youngblood60AcreRanch/Youngblood60AcreSurveyImagePage.htm

There are spaces throughout this old file and it seems to work fine - I am at a loss for why the new one won't work unless I have added too many hotspots to it.

I already took off a few cameras, removed their hotspots, resituated everything - so time consuming... so thats why I turned to you guys - I'd hate to take any more off if thats not the problem.

Take a look at both the old & new pages and compare - let me know if you see something I'm just not seeing. Its hard for me to see it after I've worked on it for so long.

Thank you very much!

You still have a spacing problem. In your funtion:

function Hall Bathroom(imgname)
{
imgname.src = IMG14 }

It needs to be:

function HallBathroom(imgname)
{
imgname.src = IMG14 }

and any others that have two words need to have the spaces taken out between the words.

"Garage exterior" needs to be "Garageexterior" etc...

Now that I finally understand your reference to spacing, I deleted all spaces and made them all lower case.

Its not giving me an error message anymore, but its still not loading the pics.

Still at a loss, but thanks for hanging in there with me - I really appreciate it.

Anything else you can think of?

These two look different as well.

I saw those too - and made them very close to the same just a little bit ago. Instead of align default, I did an align middle. That along with a different height & width are the only differences now.

And the thing STILL doesn't work.

I'd love to throw my hands up in the air and say forget it, but I just can't. *sigh*

Refresh your screens on both pages and see what you can see then...

Thanks for your continued efforts!
