This code over here:

<div class="moduletable_avail">
					<h3>Or use our Quick Search</h3>
					<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
	function iFrameHeight() {
		var h = 0;
		if ( !document.all ) {
			h = document.getElementById('blockrandom').contentDocument.height;
			document.getElementById('blockrandom').style.height = h + 60 + 'px';
		} else if( document.all ) {
			h = document.frames('blockrandom').document.body.scrollHeight;
			document.all.blockrandom.style.height = h + 20 + 'px';
		}
	}
</script>

is craeting a js error + your floating menu is creating js errors. Once you fix the js errors hotspots should work.

Regards,
Daniel

I removed the one module and temporarily removed the javascript that was causing the other error. The hotspots still didn't work though and I'm getting a Javascript error for the Hotspots as well: Thanks again Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Have you installed any SEF extension lately? Daniel Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Hi Daniel

No we've not installed anything for a while and we don't use a 3rd party SEF extension. We just have Joomla SEF urls enabled and mod_rewrite.

I did add some 301s to the .htaccess recently, could they have affected it? For example to redirect non www. to www.

I just tried removing them in case, but didn't change anything.

Do you want me to check the server to see if any files gone missing?

Thanks
Jennie (masquerading as Andy)

Hi Daniel

Indeed it is the redirect that's causing the problem, I should have thought of it. I assumed it was a Javascript thing.

Removed it and the hotspots is working again. I'm surprised it didn't cause any problems anywhere else.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

Best wishes
Jennie

It is not working for hotspots, because hotspots needs to make an ajax request that has to return a json object. But in this case the page is redirecting without returning the necessary info. On other locations it would just show you the expected html.

Anyway, glad it is working again

Daniel
