I am having problems with some javascript on the masteringchemistry.com website. whenever I click the hint link it doesnt work in ff however it works in ie.but the sumbit answer works in ff.
I have problems with the javascript on the webpage masteringchemistry.com . It is a website for doing online homework for my uni work. The site has questions and you have to submit answers.You can also ask for hints by pressing the hint button. The hint button no longer works in firefox however it works in internet explorer. Nevertheless the submit button works in firefox. I have another problem and they might be related.Sometimes when I exit firefox, firefox closes but if I want to re run it again I click on firefox it doesnt come up.I have noticed that there is a system file called firefox.exe*32.I have to close this file and then click on firefox for it to open.

Have you submitted the hint button issue to the site for comment?
It is hard to debug script problems without access to the page... If you want to research it yourself, start by opening the Error Console (Tools menu) and clicking the Clear button. Then reload the page and check the Console for any errors (red icon). These can indicate when scripts are not loading correctly. Then try to click the hint button and see whether that triggers any additional errors.
The error messages generally are most useful to the page's programmer, but sometimes can reveal enough information to create a user solution (e.g., running a script through the GreaseMonkey extension that repairs the problem).
