Javascript Help, Anyone?
The nifty script I've used for years to make my reader warnings optional on potentially triggering fic does not work in the latest version of Internet Explorer. It does work in Firefox, Safari, Netscape, Opera, Off by One, and older versions of IE.
Unfortunately, by "not work" I mean it freezes the page at the script and does not display the rest of the fic. This is a problem, seeing as this script is installed on at least 20 fics on my site, and it's not something I'm prepared to simply give up.
My options seem to be:
a) Let the script remain broken, blocking anyone with IE (or possibly Chrome) from reading any of those fics at all.
b) Place the warning out in the open, where it will spoil significant plot points on all 20 affected fics, which is why the warnings were hidden in the first place. (When I warn for easily defined details, I don't have a problem with this. Those warnings already are visible. But a few fics need their entire plots spoiled because what looks like A is actually B, or whatever. And no, I'm not talking about dub-con.)
c) Try to use popups, which everyone either blocks or ignores, so I might as well be going warning-free. (This is not actually an option.)
d) Delete the 20 fics in question and move on with my life. A choice which would be a whole lot simpler if I wasn't talking about Badfic!Pete and the Temple of Doom, Institutionalized, No Place Like Home, and Inside Job, among other things. Basically, all of my best work is involved.
Anyway, if anyone would like to look at my script and help me try to fix it, I would appreciate it so very much. Thanks!
ETA: I've uploaded Badfic!Pete with a temporary and ugly solution, since it's the least-needing-of-a-warning of the 20, and also someone specifically wanted to read it, which is how this started tonight. So if you want to look at the script, try one of the others. Thanks!
ETA2: The script is working perfectly in all browsers on this fic: Institutionalized but not on the rest, as for example Inside Job. I can't find any differences in the code.
