Warning Popups
State the nature of your problem: Copy and paste any errors you are receiving.
I am trying to utilize the Warning and Age Statement popups for stories that contain adult or not PK (ie PG13) content.
In IE, it works. The PK warning pop-up shows up just fine, as does the Age Consent Required popup for the M (Mature) and VL (Extreme Violence or Language) ratings. In Firefox/Iceweasel (I run both Linux and Windows boxen), however, while the PK warning pop-up works, the Age Consent Required does not. If you click on a story that is rated M or VL, the only thing that happens is that the status bar shows a message saying,"javascript:if(confirm('Age Consent Required - I am of the age of consent in my locale to view materials with adult content. I realize that by agreeing, the normal warnings for stories with adult c..." [to bar ran out of space here.]
Help! Can anybody give me an idea of what I need to do to fix this?

Your url you typed in your description is for fanfiction.net... somehow I don't think you are the owner of that site.
I'm guessing you mistyped something, so I can't test.

The problem is in your warning messages you have either single quotes or full quotation marks in the statement. Take those out and the pop ups will work. (Quotes are somethings considered part of programming).

Sorry about that, I have corrected the url in the original post.

That doesn't appear to be the problem. Following is a cut&paste from the warning text boxes for each of the two relevant ratings. Perhaps you will see something I'm not in this that is causing the problem.
Rating M
Mature readers. Restricted. 17 and older.
Rated for language, violence, implied intimacy. You can say a couple made love, but not
how or what they did.
Rating VL
Mature readers. Restricted 17 and older.
Rated for extreme language or violence, possibly both.
Am I missing something here?
I just don't understand WHY IE gives me the appropriate popup, but neither version of Mozilla (Firefox in Windows and Iceweasel in linux) does. I see no reason for there to be a problem, do any of you?

Not sure if this will help/work but try taking out the paragraph breaks?

Well, 🙂 taking out the line breaks fix the problem.
Not sure why IE had no problem with the line breaks and Mozilla did, but there it is.
Thank you.

The thing is that IE is way more laid-back than most browsers so even if your coding isn't perfect, it'll generally display your stuff correctly whereas browsers like Mozilla actually do the job they're meant to and "read" and analyze the code before displaying it. I'm guessing Mozilla and co are much more W3 compliant than IE ever will be.
