I’ve been working on my slider content and although it was fine when I left it upon my return none of the tabs jump up or link to the slides anymore
Can anyone see what’s happened, is it a jscript problem?
Things don’t just stop working. It can appear like that if you make a change but don’t fully refresh the browser—and then come back later when the browser has been cleared. What recent changed did you make?
I had been updating the content for the scrollers “1” "2"“3” and “4”
And I placed the images in the left hand side of them too
and I added the cta2 cta3 and cta4 on the scrollers.
It’s quite possible that one of these errors is tripping up the JS on the page:
yea, this is what is strange as I have checked these errors. The lines and errors where it says I am missing end tags etc they are fine in the code and I don’t understand the short tag thingy. I did search it and I changed the doctytpe to html transitional 4.01 but that didn’t make any difference to the shorttag error
ahhhhhhhhhhh wait I see
I’ve been checking for the wrong thing
lemme get back in a few mins after I check it
Not really. Even if you look at the first error, it’s alerting you to this:
<[COLOR="#FF0000"]div[/COLOR] id="home-left"><img class="icon" src="http://organicwebdesigns.co.uk/wp-content/themes/eBusiness/images/wp_icon_s1.png" alt="wordpress icon" />WordPress helps you manage your site easily & it’s free. It’ll help your search engine rankings & it’s full of plug ins. I’ll show you how it all works as we go, so you can have full control.[COLOR="#FF0000"]</p>[/COLOR]
Look at your generated source code first (I like Chrome, because it has line numbers). Then perhaps work backwards through your WP templates to work out where the errors are.
yea just checking that one now but the problem I’m getting is that the text editor keeps omiting my <p> and <br/> tags, so going into the text editor there is not </p> for me to even delete so I have deleted the whole page. Deleting that whole page gets rid of that error but the sliders are still not working
gosssh
Yes, deleting a whole page often does get rid of an error … kind of like dying gets rid of cancer. 
Those errors may not b the problem, but worth fixing anyhow. The browser is indicating a JS error, but I’m afraid I can’t interpret it. 
oh gosh! Well I jusr re added the page, hand wrote the code and made sure there are no <p> tags opened or closed, revalidateed and that error is there again even though I did not put any <p> tags there. When you say you cannot interpret it what do you mean? Do I need to edit something in the js file?
That’s the problem—I don’t know. 
The error reads:
Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: .slider-link-1, .slider-link-2, .slider-link-3, .slider-link-4, .slider-link-5,
I don’t know what it’s trying to tell me, though. :-/
I am confused maybe I will have to start again from scratch
grrr really don’t want to start again, I’ll try and post again in the js forum
Thanks again
Thought I’d post the solution for benefit of anyone and appreciation of help. It was the last comma causing the syntax error here in the custom.js file
A(“.slider-link-1, .slider-link-2, .slider-link-3, .slider-link-4,”).hover(function(){
Remove the final comma after .slider-link-4 and you’ll be good to go.
yea, I see from the source code what the problem is however the code diplayed in the source code is not the code I’m getting in my files. The this error for example:
<div id=“home-left”><img class=“icon” src=“http://organicwebdesigns.co.uk/wp-content/themes/eBusiness/images/wp_icon_s1.png” alt=“wordpress icon” />WordPress helps you manage your site easily & it’s free. It’ll help your search engine rankings & it’s full of plug ins. I’ll show you how it all works as we go, so you can have full control.</p>
we can see it has a closing </p> with no opening <p> and so the source code shows the same. I’d like to either go and delete that </p> or add the missing <p> so I go into my wordpress dashboard>pages>wordpress&management>html but none of the <p> or </p>'s are there, they have been omited automatically somehow. So then I go to the editor and default.php where the code for the home page is and I get php code so I’m baffles as to where the html needed is placed or hidden. Here is the php code for default.php:
<?php $ebusiness_home_page_1 = str_replace(‘&’,‘&’,get_option(‘ebusiness_home_page_1’));
$ebusiness_home_page_2 = str_replace(‘&’,‘&’,get_option(‘ebusiness_home_page_2’));
$ebusiness_home_page_3 = str_replace(‘&’,‘&’,get_option(‘ebusiness_home_page_3’));

Go though and check that any open div is closed again. Perhaps add in comments after each closing div to clarify which div it closes.
Good point about the comments! <!-- And I must start practicing that from now –>
So I did that and divs are opened and closed ok ( at least in the text editor, any other code I don’t seem to have access to except the default.php )
here is my code with the comments:
