Sacrifice some sleep and finally found the problem! It is strange that no one really mentioned a solution to Firefox complaining of this error “Event.observe is not a function” when trying to install Alex King’s wp_grin<\/a>. By right it should work, but maybe it is messed up some how (maybe the order of which prototype.js appears later when it should have appeared first or something<\/em>).<\/p>\n

No matter, now I simply go into wp-grins.php<\/strong>, comment out this line:<\/p>\n

\/\/ Event.observe(window, ‘load’, loadGrins, false);<\/strong><\/p>\n

And then add this as late as possible, which, in my case, only pertains to the actually comment in the template, comments.php<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

<script language=”Javascript”>
\n\/\/ Moved out from wp-grins.php (Firefox was barking)
\nEvent.observe(window, ‘load’, loadGrins, false);
\n<\/script>
\n<p><textarea name=”comment” id=”comment” cols=”100%” rows=”10″ tabindex=”4″><\/textarea><\/p>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

And voila! Now I can rest in peace.<\/p>\n

Footnote: I’m running wp 2.0.5 for those who are trying. Also, the page is quite slow now – due to some incompetent advertising firms, who at time of writing is giving me User advertlets_adv already has more than ‘max_user_connections’ active connections in \/home\/advertlets\/domains\/advertlets.com\/public_html\/_\/lib\/connectdb.php on line 7<\/em>. The Event observed require that everything on the page finish loading, before displaying the smilies. Maybe some day I’ll try to hook onto some other earlier events.<\/p>\n

Gimme LOTS of SMILIES! (by leaving a comment that is)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
