Hello all,

I searched all the forum but could not find a clear solution to the problems I am having. The weird thing is that it was working perfectly before.

Problem: send a message to a friend:

The whole screen is higlighted and the message box does not load.
I tried the firebug and it gave me this error when trying to send a message to a friend:

$(this.content) has no properties
/modules/lightbox/js/lightbox.js
Line 127

Problem: Tell afriend:

When clicking on the "tell a friend" link from the Published or Upcoming pages, the message box shows but mostly coverd by the post that is below.
It works fine from the "story" page though!

I don't think it is an IE 7 issue, as I checked some other sites and found that some don't work and other work fine.

Could you please help with this nasty bug.

The site is BooksImpact / Published Books

Thank you so much for your assistance.

Without knowing what files you've modified it makes it hard to help you troubleshoot.

For the lightbox error , I would suggest uninstalling the module, then reinstall it again. Also you may want to list what other modules you have activated. One may be conflicting with lightbox.

Thank you for the reply. I will try resintalling it.

I only changed the the tpl files that belong to the side bar. I added display:none for the divs so that they remain closed (side bar boxes). I also added a link to the "saved" from the top nav bar.

I will try and see what might happen.

Thanks again.

****************

I was able to figure out why the "Tell a friend" overlay was bugy and covered by the post that is below (see attached snapshot).

I am not sure if it will help those who have the same problem. I am assuming that they might have changed something similar in the CSS file, speifically to:

#content-wrap2 {background: #fff;position:relative;min-height:1050px; height:auto;margin:0 20px 0 20px; color: #444;}

I have changed it to:

#content-wrap2 {background: #fff;position:relative;min-height:auto; height:auto;margin:0 20px 0 20px; color: #444;}

When I disected the style sheet, I discovered that putting it back to B]min-height:1050px[/B] fixed the problem for me.

I hope this will help those who have a similar bug.

I am still working on finding why the "Message a friend" is not working, and I will post the fix as soon as I find it.
