Rails spinoffs - Sep 2007 - Smooth Scroll (or maybe just script attachment) problems in IE7/XP

I wrote the following script to add the smooth-scroll behavior to all  
in-page anchors. (N.B.: I didn''t design the problem page, just wrote  
the script.) It works in IE6 and all the Mac browsers. IE7 is doing  
nothing at all, however.

Could this have something to do with the fact that when the page  
loads, the anchors in question are all hidden?

Another issue might be that 5 of the anchors are invalid -- I''ve  
alerted the author to this and he may have fixed them by the time you  
see this.

Can anyone see anything here that might cause the problem? I am using  
the latest stable Scriptaculous.

//page (mouse over the FAQ Menu box on the top right to see the  
anchors in a list)

http://visionsecurity.jp/en/faq.html

//script

var ua = navigator.userAgent;
if((ua.indexOf(''Mac'') > -1) &&
(ua.indexOf(''MSIE'') > -1)){
	if(confirm(''This browser is very broken and unsafe. Please get a  
different one.''))
location.href=''http://getfirefox.com'';
}else{
	var smoove = function(evt){
		Event.stop(evt);
		this.onclick = function() {return false;};
		var t = this.uri[1];
		if($(t)) new Effect.ScrollTo(t, {offset: -24});
	}
	Event.observe(window,''load'',function(){
		$$(''a'').each(function(el){
			if(el.href && el.href.indexOf(''#'') > -1){
				el.uri = el.href.split("#");
				el.observe(''click'', smoove.bind(el));
			}
		});
	});
}


Thanks in advance,

Walter

Thanks, this looks really good. It doesn''t smooth-scroll in Safari 1.3,
probably because Event.stop doesn''t work there. That''s why I
had the
extra line:

this.onclick = function() {return false;};

I''ll give this a try and see if it cleans up the IE7 problem.

Does your example correspond to a single public release of 
Scriptaculous, or is this something that will only work with this 
particular version of prototype.js and effects.js? I am having trouble 
getting this to work -- Firefox/bug is barfing on the CSS3 selector, 
and Safari just tells me "undefined" in a not-so-helpful manner.

[Exception... "''Parse error in selector:
''[href^=#]:not([href=#])''''
when calling method: [nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]" nsresult: 
"0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location:
"<unknown>" data:
no]

Thanks,

Walter

Thank you. I did, but did not see something that I thought corresponded 
to a "stable" release. Hence the question.
