Text box not appearing in IE by Reaper on 09-03-2006 at 12:11 AM

I have a shoutbox for my forums, but the text box doesn't appear in IE, but shows in Firefox (I'm not sure about other browsers). How can I fix it?

Here is code from the file that contains the code for the text box (:S)

code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<script language="JavaScript">
function addsmiley(symbol) {
  document.postshout.msg.value += symbol;
  document.postshout.msg.focus();
}
<!-- Begin

function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=300,height=500');");
}
</script>

Bump.

RE: Text box not appearing in IE by DJeX on 09-08-2006 at 01:19 AM

this line: <input name="name" type="hidden" id="name" value="&nbsp;&nbsp;Reaper"

You missed the > at the end and I don't think you want type="hidden"

So replace that line with:

<input name="name" id="name" value="&nbsp;&nbsp;Reaper">

It works now. Thanks.
