Hi Byron, I have a strange thing happening in IE10 not sure if its a bug of just IE10!

I have a Google Map with javascript calls to open floatbox when you click on certain markers

http://www.holidaynerja.co.uk/video/map.html

The map reads a .js file to populate the markers which also contains the call to the floatbox content

http://www.holidaycosta.com/google/map.js

If you click on the GREEN marker it should open a floatbox containing the following link

http://www.holidaynerja.co.uk/video/CUB1B.html this is a javascript/video mashup by mozilla popcorn (https://popcorn.webmaker.org/)

Everything works fine in FF and Chrome but not in IE10. I am not sure if I am doing anything wrong or what I am trying to do is just not compatable with IE10?

Any thoughts appreciated - its driving me nuts!
Kind regards.
Pete

There is only one marker on the map.html page. It is yellow, square, and contains a small graphic of two buildings. Clicking it does nothing in any browser. I need a little more guidance.

Hi Byron, that is really strange. I can see all the markers. I have tested it in FF, IE10, IE9, ipad and kindle fire. Can you not see any markers other than the yellow marker even if you zoom out?

Also just tested in Chrome and ok. If anyone else if looking in can you check to see if you see the markers? Getting concerned now

You must be looking at a different page than the one you linked to. I'm looking at http://www.holidaynerja.co.uk/video/map.html. There is only the one yellow marker in the dead centre of the map. This is true regardless of how far out I zoom the map.

Really strange, even if I click on the link
http://www.holidaynerja.co.uk/video/map.html I get all the markers?? I wonder if anyone else is not seeing them??

Hi Byron, ok .js file aside as that is clearly another issue, I have added the floatbox call the yellow marker on this new map

Floatbox opens but in IE10 does not worjk as expected liek in FF or Chrome??

You're going to think I'm just making up stuff, but it works fine for me in IE 10. Clicking the yellow marker opens up the cheerful little image in a floatbox in exactly the same manner as other browsers. The problem appears to be local to your browser instance.

Thanks Byron, but does the movie play after the popcorm logo appears? As it does in FF.

Movie??? I don't see no stinkin' movie.

Neither in IE nor Firefox nor Chrome. Just the cheerful looking graphic of what might be a box of popcorn, or perhaps a building on fire.

Hi Bryon, does this link work for you and you see the movie

There is a problem with the DNS registration of the n2works.com domain names. Some DNS servers resolve it, some do not. My default DNS servers do not. This causes the fetch of www.n2works.com/embed.js to fail. No embed.js, no video.

C:\Users\byron>nslookup www.n2works.com 208.67.222.222
Server:  resolver1.opendns.com
Address:  208.67.222.222

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    n2works.com
Address:  85.13.242.198
Aliases:  www.n2works.com


C:\Users\byron>nslookup www.n2works.com 8.8.8.8
Server:  google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address:  8.8.8.8

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
*** google-public-dns-a.google.com can't find www.n2works.com: Server failed

Ok, just for you, I jigged my local network to use different DNS servers that resolve the n2works.com domain.

The video plays in IE 10 when CUB1B.html is loaded directly. It does not play in IE 10 when launched through map2.html. Here's why.

map2.html has a meta tag in the head that flips IE into IE 8 emulation mode.

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8">

embed.js is throwing an error in IE 7 & 8

SCRIPT1003: Expected ':' 
embed.js, line 513 character 9

IE 9 throws a different error, and does not play either.

SCRIPT5: Access is denied.
 embed.js, line 126 character 9

No errors are thrown in IE 10 and the video plays fine there, including when shown in the floatbox that's launched from the marker as long as the page is forced into IE 10 mode first.

You need to fix the errors in embed.js.

Incidentally, youtube is sending you console messages that say

Deprecated player 'youtube'. Please use Popcorn.HTMLYouTubeVideoElement directly.

Byron you are a star, thank you for your time checking this out and seeking out the errors. Hopefully I can get them resolved.

Thanks again
Pete
