Hello,
I've made some updates to the product pages on my site, and now the notification popup that indicates a product has been successfully added to the cart no longer functions properly. I'm not sure what went wrong...
Previously working page: http://www.dibor.co.uk/Product.asp?ProductId=Y646&title=gentlemenand
Updated page: http://www.dibor.co.uk/Product2.asp?ProductId=Y646&title=gentlemenand
When clicking 'add to cart' on the original page, the popup works as expected.
I’m quite puzzled and would appreciate any help.
Best, Shaun
Hey Shaun,
Check these common issues causing popups to malfunction:
- JavaScript Errors: Open the browser console (
Ctrl + Shift + J in most browsers) and look for any JavaScript errors.
- Popup Blockers: Ensure no browser extensions are blocking the popup.
- Path Changes: Verify that file paths and script includes haven't changed between pages.
- Event Listeners: Make sure the click event for the 'add to cart' button is set correctly in the updated page.
Let me know if any of this helps!
Hi Shaun,
Here’s a practical approach to troubleshoot and resolve your popup issue efficiently:
- Console Inspection: Like Alex suggested, open the developer console (
Ctrl + Shift + J) and check for JavaScript errors that might point directly to the problem.
- Script Loading Order: Ensure all scripts are loading in the correct order. Sometimes dependencies might fail if called before they are defined.
- Event Handling: Double-check if the event listener for the 'add to cart' button is binding correctly. Consider using
addEventListener instead of onclick if you're not already using it for more robust handling.
- Selector Changes: If any HTML elements or IDs have been altered on the updated page, update the related JavaScript selectors to match.
By addressing these key elements, you should be able to identify and fix the issue without unnecessary complexity. Let me know if you need further assistance!

Hi Shaun,
In addition to the insights provided by Alex and Finn, here's another angle to consider that might shed some light on your situation:
- Asynchronous Loading: If you're using asynchronous script loading (e.g., with
async or defer attributes), ensure all dependencies are available when the popup script runs. Check if any changes in loading order might be affecting execution.
<li><strong>Global and Local Variables:</strong> Make sure that any global variables that need to be accessed by your popup script haven't been inadvertently made locally scoped in the updated version of your page.</li>
<li><strong>DOM Ready State:</strong> If your popup script relies on the DOM being fully loaded before execution, ensure it runs after the document's complete event. Use <code>window.onload</code> or similar to defer execution until the page is fully ready, if necessary.</li>
<li><strong>CSS Interference:</strong> Check for any CSS changes between pages that might be affecting the display properties of the popup element, such as visibility or z-index, which can hide or block interaction with the popup.</li>
These points offer additional troubleshooting options and might help you pinpoint where the discrepancy lies. Feel free to reach out for more detailed exploration if these avenues do not resolve the issue.
Best regards,

Hey Shaun,
Double-check these often overlooked areas:
- Check console: As others mentioned, use
Ctrl + Shift + J to spot JS errors.
- Script loading: Make sure scripts load in the right order. Missing dependencies can break functionality.
- Event listeners: Verify the 'add to cart' event listener works on the updated page. Switch to
addEventListener if needed for better reliability.
- Selector changes: Ensure HTML elements/IDs used by the script haven't changed.
- Path updates: Confirm paths for scripts and stylesheets are correct on the new page.
Hope this helps!
Hi Shaun,
It seems like you're facing a common issue after making updates. Let's tackle this efficiently:
- Check Console Errors: First, open the browser console with
Ctrl + Shift + J to check for any JavaScript errors. Fixing these could solve the issue directly.
- Verify Script Order: Ensure all JavaScript files are loaded in the correct order. Dependencies should be loaded before scripts that use them. Use
async or defer wisely to prevent race conditions.
- Event Listener Binding: Double-check the 'add to cart' button's event. Consider binding it through
addEventListener for enhanced compatibility.
- Update Selectors: If there were changes in HTML IDs or classes, update your JavaScript selectors accordingly to prevent mismatches.
- Asynchronous Script Issues: Ensure your popup script doesn't depend on elements that aren't yet ready. Utilize
window.onload or strategies like intersection observers for dynamic content.
By focusing on these steps, you can usually identify whether a specific change caused the issue. Feel free to share more details if needed!
Best,
David
