For some reason I can't get two highlight effects to work onload of a page, for two different divs. Lordy, can anyone help?

Thanks!

How could we possibly help?

Well at the moment I have this:

Code:

window.onload=function(){
   RecoverScroll.init();
   highlightadventure();
   
 
function highlightadventure()
{new Effect.Parallel([
  new Effect.Highlight(editedquestions), 
  new Effect.Highlight(editedquestionsa) 
], { 
  duration: 0.8,
  delay: 0.5
});

 
}
}

For some reason it doesn't work. I'd love to know why, as according to documentation it looks correct. Anyone use parallel effects with scriptalicious? Some advice would be brilliant.

I've not used Scriptaculous before, but the syntax looks correct.

Given that we have no idea if the [global] variables

Code:

editedquestions

and

Code:

editedquestionsa

are defined/correct at all, or if something else on the page might be overriding the window.onload event handler;
Effect.Highlight - scriptaculous - GitHub and Effect.Parallel - scriptaculous - GitHub suggests setting the 'sync' option to true on the effects so they won't run as soon as they are instantiated.
Also try to explicitly set the restorecolor option on the highlights as the script has problems reading the original background-color correctly in various browsers.

Thanks for the reply. The function onload is running fine actually, the recoverscroll script which returns people back to the same scroll position after a _POST is active and fine. Also, single highlight effects are working fine too.

Hmmmmn now I'm thinking parallel might not be what I'm looking for. Wondering if this is for two effects on the same div?

I'm really struggling to see why this doesn't work?

Code:

window.onload=function(){
   RecoverScroll.init();
   begin();
   yo();
 
function begin()
{
  new Effect.Highlight('editedquestionsa');
  

 
}

function yo() {
	
	new Effect.Highlight('editedquestions');
}
}

This puts the highlight onto 'editedquestionsa' but not on 'editedquestions.' I'm I missing something totally noob?
