Why is the chat window opening before I click open chat?


So, initally, I had no issues. It seemed to be working fine. I load the script and it was giving just the 'open chat' option.

Now, it loads the whole chat window already open, but not the content page of the chat. I have to click 'exit chat' and 'open chat' for it to actually open up the content.

I don't want the content window to even open until I click 'open chat'.

(for the sake of ease, I left the css as a style tag in the webpage for now. Typically, I have a stylesheet href in the head)

js

document.getElementById('openForumBtn').addEventListener('click', function() {
    document.getElementById('forumWindow').style.display = 'block';
    document.getElementById('forumFrame').src = 'https://www.haikimura.com/'; 
    });

    document.getElementById('closeForumBtn').addEventListener('click', function () {
    document.getElementById('forumWindow').style.display = 'none';
    document.getElementById('forumFrame').src = '';
    }); 

Solution

  • Add display: none to #forumWindow as an initial value would solve your problem

    #forumWindow {
     padding: 10px;
     height: 350px;
     width: 250px;
     opacity:0.9;
     filter:alpha(opacity=50);
     -moz-border-radius: 20px 20px 20px 20px; 
     -webkit-border-radius: 20px 20px 20px 20px;
     border: 1px #000 dotted
     z-index: 1000;
     display: none; // here
    }
