I assume you have installed the shout box included with RN 2.3 in the AddOnFiles folder?

It is probably a javascript conflict. If you are not using one of the default themes try switching to one of them. If it still doesn't work try turning off all the other blocks. If it is a theme or block issue let me know and we can work from there.

I know I talked about this before but it happened again. The name of the block is javaclock.php. After I actived the block shoutbox didnt work and so on.

It is a known fact that, if two or more javascript apps use

window.onload=, that one or more will fail.

I have provided an area within the shoutbox.js file at the top to resolve this.

Open all your other blocks and modules that use window.onload= in KATE or wordpad and write down all the onload events. Watch CAPS!

NOTE: window.onload=WorldClock will become WorldClock();
Place a // in front of all those window.onload events, save, and reupload.

This stops them from running.

Example: // window.onload=WorldClock
Open shoutbox.js
At the top youll see:

function allonloads() {
populate();

}
Place all your events in it like this:

function allonloads() {
populate();
WorldClock();
Something();
SomethingElse();

}

This starts all your blocks with javascript running again without conflict.
Save and upload shoutbox.js

Note: The shout box will have to be on the left side of your site in order for the others to work (unless all your blocks using javascript are on the right side).

This is just an example so u can undertand shoutbox is not the block which is in conflict. it is another block u have installed there. That is why I need to see what kind of blocks u have there. Wink

There are quite a few posts here related to this is you search for "onload" like this one from slackvera which is almost identical to the one sexycoder posted.
