P-T-P Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) I am using IE7 on Windows XP Pro both in the office and at home. On every page of the site, the status bar always displays a "Done, but with errors" message. The message reads... [i]Line: 2 Char: 1083 Error: Object required Code: 0 URL: [/i][url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2770"][i]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2770[/i][/url] The URL changes according to the page but the rest of the message remains the same. Additionally, and possibly because of the above, when I was making the post [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2770"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2770[/url] I used some basic formatting, bolding the title of each item I have for sale and the asking price. Look closely and you will notice the title of the first item is not bolded and neither is the price of the final item. This is because, when I tried them in bold, everything after and including the bolded text was omitted from the final output. Strange as the other bolded text does not seem to be a problem. I have tried to rectify this in Firefox 1.5.0.9 and in Opera 8.5. In Firefox I get the same problem as in IE7, but in Opera it works fine, though in Opera the text editor displays differently than in the other two. If I highlight and click bold in IE or Firefox, the text changes to bold there and then in the text editor, whereas in Opera the same action simply adds the more usual message board [b] tags around the text. The problem is the same both in the office and at home. I have tried clearing my cache and turning off pop-up blockers but to no avail.

P-T-P Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Updated to Firefox 1.5.0.11 just to see if it made a difference, but sadly not. Am trying Firefox 2.0.0.4 once it has installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-T-P Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Okay, Firefox 2.0.0.4 made no difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-T-P Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Okay, and to add to the confusion, Opera 9.21 displays the text editor the way IE7 and Firefox do and as a result, I get the same problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_C Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 weird, it all looks fine in Firefox 2.0.0.4 for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest baretas Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) Try to uninstall Firefox and then install it again (using the 2.0.0.4 version). I'm also using Firefox 2.0.0.4 and no problems at all. Edited July 11, 2007 by baretas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest baretas Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) You're right. Maybe it's an IE7 problem... although it's only a browser, IE affects a lot of the windows OS (and vice-versa). But now that I checked the page source, i noticed that the forum is based in javascript. Have you updated the java to the most recent one? [url="http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp"]http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp[/url] (to verify your java installation) If that doesn't help, try to repair the IE7 installation or uninstall it (reboot) and check the forum with the other browsers. But I honestly hope that it's a java problem Edited July 11, 2007 by baretas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgrading the Java VM will not make any difference to the javascript engine in the browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerdragon Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'm getting the same problem as P-T-P. A script error in IE, googled it and done the inerenet options advanced tab thing. still no good, downloaded the latest java. still no good. my video card is not the greatest but its been ok up to now. downloaded Firefox and everything seems ok. so i have no idea why it's suddenly just started.

P-T-P Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 When you're having the problem on two different machines in three different browsers, chances are it's an issue with the page(s), not the browsers. Almost certainly not the Java platform as it's a Javascript error, not Java, but anyway my Java on both machines is fully up to date. There's nothing wrong with my IE installation, this is a recently occuring problem which more than likely somehow ties in with either an update of the forum script or the installation of the new skin.. In fact, thinking about it, if the option is there to sue an alternate skin in preferences I may just try that out and see what happens, will report back. It could also be the case the ISP are using some kind of proxy and haven't yet got a revised javascript code or something silly like that.

P-T-P Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 I'm pretty certain there were no javascript errors or posting problems before the new skin went up. I read in another thread that the board script was updated recently too so it could be the problem came about after that. I first noticed the errpr on 10th July and I'm on here near enough every day.
