Ajax quick reply not working

[mirahalo]

I get the loading... message but it never ends, no mods installed,   fireworks says this:

Error: declaración de texto o XML en un lugar distinto del principio de la entidad
Archivo de origen: http://oharascans.com/foro/index.php?action=quotefast;quote=6642;xml
Línea: 2, columna: 1
Código fuente:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


Error: oXMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("quote")[0] is undefined
Archivo de origen: http://oharascans.com/foro/Themes/default/scripts/topic.js
Línea: 167


a few lines before and after line 167 of topic.js:

Code Select Expand

// This is the callback function used after the XMLhttp request.
QuickReply.prototype.onQuoteReceived = function (oXMLDoc)
{
var sQuoteText = '';

for (var i = 0; i < oXMLDoc.getElementsByTagName('quote')[0].childNodes.length; i++)
sQuoteText += oXMLDoc.getElementsByTagName('quote')[0].childNodes[i].nodeValue;

replaceText(sQuoteText, document.forms.postmodify.message);

ajax_indicator(false);
}


the funny thing is that the very same files works fine in a local install.    any thoughts?

Define "AJAX quick reply" exactly. What exactly have you tried to do, how would someone recreate this in a testing environment?

Does you host allow ajax to be installed ?

Mine dont  as it hogs my hosting  company servers if i install ajax  it just wont work full stop.

tesser: AJAX isn't something you install, it's a set of technologies. There is actually no way to tell if something is AJAX or not. Have you ever tried using the inline modify option? Or the auto suggest in the send-personal-message areas? Those are powered by AJAX methods.

What I think you're referring to is an AJAX shoutbox, which will hog resources, and is unrelated to this.

ups, sorry, my bad, is the normal quote button, I have quick reply enable so when I click the quote button it takes me to the quick reply box, then the loading... message appears and thats it,   the same goes to the preview button on normal posting,   it is funny because the same files do work on localhost.

I tried upload /Themes/default/scripts/script.js
/Themes/default/Xml.template.php

but nothing's changed

So there's something wrong with the XML coming back.

Would be worth examining it in Firebug to see the HTTP request go out and the XML return response to see what actual XML is being returned.

ok, I will check, thanks

alright, after put my forum upside down I finally did it     it was nothing to do with javascript but with my languages files   some of them wasn't encoded in utf8 without BOM.
