[3395][Firefox] Private message popup = cancel = blank page

[DirtRider]

I have just tested it with FF 3.0.8 and it is still an issue 

[CarlT100]

I also upgraded to the latest Java version and that may be a factor for the better loading speed.

I got it, but only while making a post. I couldn't get it to occur by just sitting on the board index or browsing the forum.
I will need to test this more.

Hey all,

I couldnt find a bug report about this with search so sorry if this is a duplicate.

I have issues lately with SMF RC1 and private messages.
When I get the notification when I enter the site it, like you know, asks if you want to view the pm in a new window or not. When I click cancel (so I dont want to view the PM at that time) I get a blank page and I have to refresh. I dont seem to have the issue on 1.1.8.

Moving the relevant javascript to the bottom of the page fixes this.

Thank you, Vekseid.  I will make sure Dirtrider sees this.

Something new has now started up with one of my members since he upgraded to FF 3.0.8. When he tries to use the smilies he gets the following 

Code Select Expand


Error: storeCaret is not defined
Source File: http://triumphtalk.com/index.php?action=post;topic=4839.0;num_replies=6#
Line: 1

Error: editorHandlemessage is undefined
Source File: javascript:alert('TODO: FIXME')
Line: 0


These are the errors I'm getting from clicking the html code buttons, the last error is from clicking on the 'more' button for smilies.

I got it when I just visited the community forum URL directly.  Popup and blank page.  Running 3.0.8 & Ad Blocker addon.  Not sure if that info helps.

It appears Vekseid deleted his post.

I disabled all of my addons and I still had the problem.  I have listed triumphtalk.com as an exception in popup blocker,  I still have the problem.  I have all of the addons enabled again and it had no effect on the problem.

No update on this as yet 

[Vekseid]

It appears Vekseid deleted his post.

...err, no. Odd.

Anyway, I think I mentioned that you need to put the popup notification js at the end of the page before the </body> tag...

[DirtRider]

Are we making any progress on this issue at all

[metallica48423]

I know regularexpression has spent many an hour working on it without finding an appropriate fix yet (and yes, he did try vekseid's)

[karlbenson]

Indeed.  I've spent many an hour on a few separate occasions trying to lock down the bug to specific javascript calls.
I've got steps to replicate it.  But sometimes it goes random.
The content is there, but for whatever reason Firefox is just refusing to render it.

I've held off making a post in here until now obviously cos I've made no progress.

Moving the call to just before the </body> did fix it (so we render before doing the popup), but I was hoping of finding an alternative solution to the problem.  I'm hoping to get another dev to have a look at this bug before RC2. But we might have to just bite the bullet and do it that way anyways.

[DirtRider]

Ah thanks for that this one is really a weird one 

[Adish - (F.L.A.M.E.R)]

I get this when i just login and hit cancel. It also happens when I go to view unread replies..(its quite random though, its not always like that)

It is somewhat a problem only with Firefox. In Chrome it works fine and also in IE..


In Vista it works fine.. Its just XP issue...

[karlbenson]

I've finally got around to tracking this bug.

* regularexpression is still hoping to find the cure for this bug

Hi,

perhaps this is of use to you:
It mostly seems to happen on this link:

I have the same problems in Vista as I do in XP 

[JBlaze]

For the past 3 private messages, when I get the popup saying I have a new PM, the page I was viewing goes blank and I must hit refresh to view it.

Just wondering if this is a bug or just my browser being screwy.

BTW, I'm using Firefox 3.0.9
