I run a website for my church. In a database on the server, we store all of the newest sermons’ information so that when a user clicks a button on the first page, the newest sermons will show up in a div. For a long time, everything was working just great, but now, the returned code just doesn’t show up.

The weird thing is, if I open the page in Google Chrome and hit “Inspect Element” over the div, the returned code just appears. It looks perfect… After I have done that, clicking on the button will again load the info from the database and it will show up; if I refresh the page, however, the returned stuff goes away again until I inspect the element.

Try it for yourself here. Click the orange button labeled “New Message.”

NOTE:

  • The div that pops up is id navNew
  • The background transparent div that pops up is id navBackground
  • Within the div id navNew, I have a p id navNewBody that holds the information returned by the get PHP page below.

My code for the PHP getter page:

<?php

$link = mysql_connect('domain', 'username', 'password'); 
if (!$link) { 
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); 
} 

mysql_select_db(flf);

$r = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM new");
$first = mysql_num_rows($r);

$last = $first - 20;
echo '<p class="NavHead">New Sermons<br/><table width="90%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">';

$ind = 0;

while($first > $last){

$me=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM new WHERE id='" . $first . "'"));
$name = $me["name"];
$row = 21-$ind;
echo '<tr id="row' . $row . '" class="navClosed" onclick="expand(' . "'" . 'row' . $row . "'" .  ',' . $row . ')"><td colspan="4">&nbsp;' . $name . '</td></tr><tr id="row' . $row . 'e" style="visibility: hidden" class="navOpenClosed" onclick="dismiss(' . "'" . 'row' . $row . "'" . ')"></tr>';
$first = $first - 1;
$ind = $ind + 1;
}

echo "</table></p>";
?>

And here is the code I use to access the page (yes I imported jQuery):

function retNew(){
    document.getElementById("navNewBody").innerHTML = '<span class="NavHead"><p align="center">Loading...Please Wait...<br/><br/><br/><img src="Sermons/Style/Loading.gif" /></p></span>';
    document.getElementById("navNew").style.visibility = "visible";      

    $("#navNewBody").load("retNew.php");
}

What’s wrong? It just doesn’t make sense to me. I set the z-index to 10,000,000 and nothing happened. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    I think you visibility is messing with the content. Try to use this load.

    function retNew(){
   $('#navNewBody').html('<div class="NavHead"><p align="center">Text</p></div>')
                   .load('retNew.php');
   $('#navNew').fadeIn();      
}

    As of the close button, in your case it should be something like that:

    <div id="navNew">
  <a class="LargeNameU" onclick="offNavNew();return false;" 
            style='position:fixed; z-index: 1000; right:0px;top:0px'>
       <img src="Sermons/Style/x.png" border='0'>
  </a>
<p align="center" style="z-index:10000000" id="navNewBody">

    and so on. Your .navNew already has a fixed position.
