works only if I added alert

Hi, Angus,

Thanks for the great script. I am using the "loadinto" feature to load another web page into an area of a web page. It worked in one setting which is within a wiki that uses smarty. However, in another setting which is simple php/html file, I can only get the second page to load into the designated area if I insert an "alert" statement in the "addEvent" section in the javascript section of the php/html file. Otherwise nothing happens after I click the link (no page is loaded). Furthermore, I noticed that the "addEvent" was called twice when I clicked the link once (two alerts).

I  am using the 1.0beta version of htmlhttprequest.html and accompanying js.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Yes, the demo works fine. You are correct! I do have another js script in the same html document. After I took that out, yours worked fine. That script is doing mouse-over menu thing. It uses addEventListener as well but only for "mouseover". I don't know whether it might interfere with your script. Unfortunately the page is still under development so I don't have one to the public. However, that script for mouseover is an open-source script named mm_menu.js. I can send it to you if I can have your email address.

Thanks  again for your help.

Thanks, Angus. I did that but it did not help. However, I dug into the mm-menu.js code and found that the problem was with a line "if (document.captureEvents) document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEUP);". If I commented out that line, everything works fine so far. I googled about document.captureEvents and got the impression that it was needed only for Netscape 4. I am not a javascript expert. Is it true? If it is, then I can live with that line commented out.

Thanks,

Z
