Why Script Conflict?

ARCLite Studio · 12-15-2011, 06:31 PM

Can anybody tell me why this inline script below would cause the second script/code to cease functioning? - When I remove the first block of code, the second one executes as it should with no problems... i don't get it

. Also - I am not a java script programer, I try not to use them and I understand just enough about it to make me dangerous to myself.

Thanks

Code:

<script src="http://www.jotform.com/min/g=feedback" type="text/javascript">
new JotformFeedback({
formId:'13483303613',
base:'http://www.jotform.com/',
windowTitle:'Contact Us',
background:'#544FD1',
fontColor:'#FFFFFF',
type:2,
height:500,
width:460
});
</script>
<a class="lightbox-13483303613 navb" style="cursor:pointer;color:blue;text-decoration:underline;"><span>&nbsp;</span></a>

Second code set:
<body onload="slideSwitch();">

Code:

function slideSwitch() {
    var $active = $('#slideshow DIV.active');

    if ( $active.length == 0 ) $active = $('#slideshow DIV:last');

    // use this to pull the divs in the order they appear in the markup
    var $next =  $active.next().length ? $active.next()
        : $('#slideshow DIV:first');

    // uncomment below to pull the divs randomly
    // var $sibs  = $active.siblings();
    // var rndNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * $sibs.length );
    // var $next  = $( $sibs[ rndNum ] );


    $active.addClass('last-active');

    $next.css({opacity: 0.0})
        .addClass('active')
        .animate({opacity: 1.0}, 1000, function() {
            $active.removeClass('active last-active');
        });
}

$(function() {
    setInterval( "slideSwitch()", 9000 );
});

// End of Slideshow fade

ARCLite Studio you come here a lot so this is FYI. We javascript programmer don't always know what's going on in jquery. Some do, some don't. This is jquery not javascript. You may get faster answer posting in JavaScript frameworks, a sub form of this.
Sorry I could not help. If you get nothing by end of day repost in other form.
Sun....

My apologize guys, Honestly I wasn't aware of the difference (Thats why i'm not a java programmer) - But in any case, If I place a post in the wrong section now or in the future its not on purpose, let me know and i'll move it.

Thanks

Actually sunfighter wasn’t quite correct: jQuery is JavaScript but it’s not “raw” JS, it’s nicely packaged functions (a. k. a. “framework”) for easy working. But since a JS framework implements a different way of writing things one has to familiarize oneself with the special syntax etc. And the purist JS programmers that never need a JS framework to achieve what they want don’t necessarily know these specifics, that’s why they might not be able to help with this.

And by the way: You cannot move a thread yourself here. Once posted in the wrong section the only thing you can (and should) do is contact a moderator or report your own post and ask for it to be moved.
