sorry if this is redundant, i tried to find solution via SEARCH.

on this page:
http://www.actaddons.com/products/2005/test-ie10.asp

in the right column, when you click on the PURCHASE OPTIONS button, it
'reveals' a hidden div (purchaseoptions) with stuff.

i want to have another hidden div (#specialpopup), to pop up in floatbox when hidden div purchaseoptions is 'revealed'.

thanks a million for helping. i am forced to this route as i have to provide info to people using ie10, as it does not let my buy links access the shopping cart, unless folks enable 'compatibility' mode. grrrrr

thanks again. george

The "Purchase Options" button has on onclick action that executes javascript. You can add a call to the fb.start() function to this script to open up a floatbox. See the API Reference for syntax details.

But if your page requires compatibility mode in IE10, consider setting that on the page itself instead of asking each visitor to set it at their browser. This can be done by placing a meta tag such as the following in the document head.

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9" >

hey admin, thanks for the reply )

i felt a spark of excitement when you suggested the meta tag solution.

but alas, it did not solve my problem.

if you have amoment, on this page: http://www.actaddons.com/products/2005/00-test.asp and click on the red circle with the dollar sign. then click the buy now link. nothing happens. on all other browsers the page works great. when i change compatibility mode in the ie10 tools settings, it works just fine. ??

so the meta tag you mention, do i need to tweek it or something or is that the way it supposed to read. (sorry, i am not a coder so much).

thanks alot for your help and if this is beyond, no problem. thanks any way for all your help.

Yeah, I can help point you to the Floatbox API for starting and ending floatboxes via script, but I can't get involved with sorting out a page's browser compatibility problems outside of Floatbox usage. Google "X-UA-Compatible" and you might find something helpful. There's no way I can promise it as a solution, but just wanted to step outside Floatbox support for a minute and suggest you look into it.

no problem. i found a page with things i can do at the folder and server level. sigh, if only i had a brain.

i hate ms

thanks anyway )
