Question

I’m trying to get a page to have cross browser support, however I keep getting stuck on Mozilla Firefox. I have IE and Chrome working though. The code is:

function positiontip(e){
   var e = window.event ? event : e;
   if (enabletip) {
      var curX;
      var curY;
      if (e.pageX || e.pageY) {
         curX = e.pageX;
         curY = e.pageY;
      } else if (e.clientX || e.clientY) {
         curX = e.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft
            + document.documentElement.scrollLeft;
         curY = e.clientY + document.body.scrollTop
            + document.documentElement.scrollTop;
      }

When ever I try to use the code, Firefox console spits out an error that

e is undefined "if (e.pageX || e.pageY) {"

I have tried calling the function via

positiontip();

and

positiontip(event);

But neither are working.
any ideas?

Nevermind. The problem was that the function positiontip() was called in another function and the other function was being passed the event. I had to changed the html to pass the event to showtooltip() [the upper function] that then passed the event to positiontip().
