Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Strange browser behaviour with xowiki page containing javascript

You should install firebug in firefox or firebug-lite (js bookmarklet) in IE and put some debugging statements in your ready handler to find out exactly what is happening.

Most likely you are hitting a silent error in the javascript code.

Dave,

Thanks for the reply.

I have already tried Firebug which shows no errors. I have also tested the event handler is being called by adding an alert. All works fine. The script takes no data and either works or doesn't. The page data on which it operates is unchanged.

A silent Javascript error could well be the problem, but what I can't understand is why it works just fine when the page is requested over http://ip:port, but fails on redirect after logging in to openacs.

I will try removing the https component of the issue as Gustaf suggested, and will also replace the script with one that doesn't call any YUI3 components. (I have the yui-min.js included as [[js:yui-min.js]] in the xowiki::Form and am relying on it to autoload the component files for me from Yahoo. I did this because referring to the yui-min.js file from the Yahoo url in the formpage didn't work.)

When I previously had problems sourcing YUI components I saw errors in the IE console and Firebug, but this time I get nothing.

Richard
