Use Firefox's Javascript Console to get more exact error messages. Also, go back through the Poll Mod readme and double check that you've made all the necessary changes and made them correctly.

| Wierd... I made a backup of my post.asp and replaced it with the post.asp right from the zip file that came with the Poll Mod and still get the same thing. I also replaced that post.asp with the one that comes in the original forum zip file (sf2k_v34_05.zip) and STILL get the scripting errors. |

I guess the problem I am having is bigger than I originally thought.
Nothing happens when I try to click any button (bold, italic, hyperlink, etc) in the post window and a script error is generated at the bottom of IE. |

You're using IE, that's the problem right there. 
Anyways, post a link to a txt version of your post.asp file.
Oops, didn't see your zip file. Will take a look at it. |

Ok, your post.asp file looks ok. I will need to check your forum.
Can you give me a username and password to use, so I can check out the error?
You can email the info to me, using the forum.
Also I would suggest you use http://www.hallabaloos.com/forum/ to access your forum instead of http://www.hallabaloos.com/Forum/
Notice the F. This will cause problems when you or your members try to access the forum using those urls. Best to stick to 1 url which doesn't contain capital letters. Most trouble free. |

Sorry, I didn't think this was a double post (http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=58418) since the other issue was more general with the entire forum rather than just with the poll mod. (note the additional information at the bottom of my post regarding a clean reinstall of the forum)
Anyhow, I did some more troubleshooting yesterday and apparently have this narrowed down to an issue with IIS. From my other post (linked above) note that I took a completely clean install of the latest version of the forum and made a completely new database for it and still saw the scripting errors in IE. I also see similar issues when viewing the page with Mozilla so I don't think the browser is the issue here. Also, this forum has been working fine for me in the past with IE. Anyhow, just for grins I took the entire forum folder and moved it to a completely different website on the same web server. Lo and behold I no longer got the scripting errors. In other words, http://www.hallabaloos.com/Forum gives scripting errors but http://www.jasonsconsulting.com/Forum does NOT give scripting errors.
I went through each website and compared every setting I could find and made sure they were identical. From what I found the original website actually has MORE permissions than the new website and still fails. All other settings were the same. Rather than lose any more sleep over this I just created a virtual folder under http://www.hallabaloos.com called Forum that redirects to the URL of the new forum location at http://www.jasonsconsulting.com/Forum.
So now this is working for the meantime but I'd still like to figure out why it works under one website but not another.
If you want to log into the forum for testing, use L/P: test

No you don't understand, for me to reproduce your problem, I would need admin privileges. How else am I going to select moderators for a forum?
You really didn't need to go through all of that, before giving us a chance to look into the problem for you. But anyways...email me a username and password I can use. |

Sorry about the confusion. Since I have the main forum working currently by redirecting it to a different website I'd like to keep it that way for now until we figure out why this is happening. I set up a test forum under the original domain name here:
http://www.hallabaloos.com/testforum
L: test
P: test
This is a completely clean install of 3.4.5 with no mods. It is connected to a brand new database with just the default tables created in it. The test user above has admin priveleges. And yes, this completely clean install has the same problem. |

You've got a HTML file at the end of all your javascript files. If, as you say, these are completely new, straight out of the zip forum then your host is adding that HTML to your javascript files and you'll need to get in contact with them to get them to remove it.

You're welcome  But what do you mean about turning off the HTML footer?

But my point was that since the problem you were having wasn't affecting your members, there wasn't any need to go through all that.
Glad you got it sorted though. Nice work Shaggy. |

Surely, though, IIS can tell the differnce between a *.html and *.js file? Or at the very least offers you an option to specify which extensions it's allowed append the footer to?
Davio, it would have effected any members attempting to load pages that linke inc_code.js or inc_datepicker.js
