I downloaded the PHP voting script from this website:
I have installed this and it works perfectly on my website, however I am looking at customising it slightly so that once a user has voted it then redirects them to a new page, or ideally opens up a lightbox.
I have narrowed it down to a javascript problem, and the javascript file is within the voting.js file.
Below is the following code found in that file:
// Ajax Voting Script - http://www.coursesweb.net
var ivotings = Array(); // store the items with voting
var ar_elm = Array(); // store the items that will be send to votAjax()
var i_elm = 0; // Index for elements aded in ar_elm
var itemvotin = ''; // store the voting of voted item
var votingfiles = 'votingfiles/'; // directory with files for script
var advote = 0; // variable checked in addVote(), if is 0 cann vote, else, not
// gets all DIVs, store in $ivotings, and in $ar_elm DIVs with class: "vot_plus", "vot_updown", and ID="vt_..", sends to votAjax()
var getVotsElm = function () {
var obj_div = document.getElementsByTagName('div');
var nrobj_div = obj_div.length;
for(var i=0; i<nrobj_div; i++) {
// if contains class and id
if(obj_div[i].className && obj_div[i].id) {
var elm_id = obj_div[i].id;
// if class "vot_plus", "vot_updown1", "vot_updown2", or "vot_poll" and id begins with "vt_"
if((obj_div[i].className=='vot_plus' || obj_div[i].className=='vot_updown1' || obj_div[i].className=='vot_updown2') && elm_id.indexOf("vt_")==0) {
ivotings[elm_id] = obj_div[i]; // store object item in $ivotings
ar_elm[i_elm] = elm_id; // add item_ID in $ar_elm array, to be send in json string tp php
i_elm++; // index order in $ar_elm
}
}
}
// if there are elements in "ar_elm", send them to votAjax()
if(ar_elm.length>0) votAjax(ar_elm, ''); // if items in $ar_elm pass them to votAjax()
};
// add the ratting data to element in page
function addVotData(elm_id, vote, nvotes, renot) {
// exists elm_id stored in ivotings
if(ivotings[elm_id]) {
// sets to add "onclick" for vote up (plus), if renot is 0
var clik_up = (renot == 0) ? ' onclick="addVote(this, 1)"' : ' onclick="alert(\'You already voted\')"';
// if vot_plus, add code with <img> 'votplus', else, if vot_updown1/2, add code with <img> 'votup', 'votdown'
if(ivotings[elm_id].className == 'vot_plus') { // simple vote
ivotings[elm_id].innerHTML = '<h4>'+ vote+ '</h4><span><img src="'+votingfiles+'votplus.gif" alt="1" title="Vote"'+ clik_up+ '/></span>';
}
else if(ivotings[elm_id].className=='vot_updown1') { // up/down with total Votes
// sets to add "onclick" for vote down (minus), if renot is 0
var clik_down = (renot == 0) ? ' onclick="addVote(this, -1)"' : ' onclick="alert(\'You already voted\')"';
ivotings[elm_id].innerHTML = '<div id="nvotes">Votes: <b>'+ nvotes+ '</b></div><h4>'+ vote+ '</h4><span><img src="'+votingfiles+'votup.png" alt="Vote Up" title="Vote Up"'+ clik_up+ '/> <img src="'+votingfiles+'votdown.png" alt="Vote Down" title="Vote Down"'+ clik_down+ '/></span>';
}
else if(ivotings[elm_id].className=='vot_updown2') { // up/down with number of votes up and down
var nvup = (nvotes*1 + vote*1) /2; // number of votes up
var nvdown = nvotes - nvup; // number of votes down
// sets to add "onclick" for vote down (minus), if renot is 0
var clik_down = (renot == 0) ? ' onclick="addVote(this, -1)"' : ' onclick="alert(\'You already voted\')"';

}
}
}

I did have a go at doing this myself and it did work in certain browsers, but not others. All I did was add change the code on line 66 from:
ivot.parentNode.innerHTML = 'Thanks';
to:
ivot.parentNode = window.location = "register2.php";
But as I said, this only works on certain browsers as on other browsers it doesn't add the information to the database, anyone know how I can resolve this?
