I am willing to pay for help!!!

I need this file to work in IE.

it's a joomla plugin that's very simple. its 1 php file and it encodes your joomla source code on the fly.

this plugin works perfectly in all browsers but IE. see it activated here: http://www.pensaweb.com - as you can see it screws up the layout in IE but works fine in firefox.

if you can de-bug it I will pay $30 even it takes just a few minutes. if it takes much longer i can make a deal with u that is fair.

i will also give you the rest of the plugin files so you can use the plugin on unlimited joomla sites.

please contact me by email asap.
thanks
jason

    Hi Jason,

    Does the site work correctly in IE before you mangle it with your encryption ie is it valid code?

    Also, I cannot get your drop down menu links to work in FF under Linux or in IE6 or IE8 in Windoze.

    So I really have to ask, "Why Bother encrypting the site in the first place?".

    side note: Your Decode Function does quite a lot of bit bashing.

    Anyway...IE8 reported this on your home page.

    So I'd be looking at that.

    I googled for the term
    Message: Invalid argument. Line: 31 Char: 1 Code: 0 mootools

    and something that might be pertinent came up on mooforum dot net. So take a look there. Seems you are not the first person this has happened to.

    Could be a plugin issue!

    Cheers

      Hey Tim!

      Thanks for taking the time to help a php noob. Yes, the site does work perfectly before activating this plugin.

      I am very clueless when it comes to the rest of what you said LOL it's like looking at another language. Do you think you could take a look at the php file you might be able to find out why it is messing up the site?

      I have attached it and if you don't have the time to help I understand, maybe someone else can help?

      thanks in advance!
      Jason

        Hi Jason, I've had a quick look at this for you, but
        I've not been able to run it as I do not use Joomla etc...


        Let's go back a few steps....
        If you run this plugin in an "out of the box" Joomla installation, ie with no other plugins... Does it work on all browsers?

        I don't know what plugins you are running on your site, but you may find it's one of them not playing nicely with your "mangler" plugin.

        I so love Mangling files, it's a time honored waste of time in my opinion. Which means - I don't really see the point to it.

        Anyway, see if you can find what plugin might be bashing heads with it, then you can work backwards from there.

        Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

        Cheers
        Tim
