Dont know if anyone can help but I can find a fix,

   * Joomla version: Joomla! 1.5.1 Production/Stable [ Seenu ] 8-February-2008 22:00 GMT
    * SOBI2 version: RC 2.8.4
    * PHP version: 4.3.9
    * Linux vhost7-2.iomart.com 2.6.9-67.0.4.ELsmp #1 SMP Sun Feb 3 07:08:57 EST 2008 i686
    * MySQL version 4.1.20
    * Link to Your page: http://www.funnyshapedballs.co.uk
    * Used browser - I.E 7 on Vista

every time I attempt to add entry from front end I.E throws a wobbly and states that it can't find the page. Firefox, Safari and Opera all open ok. Has anyone else suffered this problem ? If so what was the fix please ?

Many thanks in advance

    What is it?

I see that you must be British?  "Throwing a wobbly" I'm glad I understand your English... He He.  you wanker!  If you are not British oh so sorry!

Anyhow, I have been trying to figure this out.  But, this happened to someone else too.  Here is a thread link...  You have about the same problem this guy does.  http://www.sigsiu.net/forum/index.php/topic,7747.msg25686.html#new.

UPDATE:  I found at least one issue with your site.  You have two javascript errors on coming from the lack of the javascript file overlib_mini.js.  Check out this thread for a fix that I wrote up.  http://www.sigsiu.net/forum/index.php/topic,7487.0.html.  Fix this first and then report back and let us know if that works. 

Cheers.

Hi guys,

I don't really understand what is the problem with overlib. I have installed Joomla 1.5.1 and the overlib_mini.js file is definitely included in this Joomla version.
It also works perfectly. So I'm really very confused about this.

Regards,
Neo

Have added the 'overlib_mini.js' as recommended.
Made the ammendment to the template file in the backend of Joomla by adding the script line
<script type="text/javascript" src="templates/<?php echo  $this->template ?>/js/overlib_mini.js"></script>.

Saved the file and previewed. Unfortunately experiencing the same problems.

added the  'overlib_mini.js' to the template file for Joomla which I am using

Added the <script type="text/javascript" src="templates/<?php echo  $this->template ?>/js/overlib_mini.js"></script> to my template html from within the admin section upon Joomla.

Have also added firebug to Firefox and the overlib_mini.js is loading ok from what I can see. (Not too familiar as just downloaded this item).

Same error with I.E 7 it gets as far down as 'All fields with * are required.',  all good in Firefox, opera, Safari.

Ok all I know that there has been 2 people including myself that overlib_mini.js has not worked out for.  I'll try and dig up some more info @ joomla.com.

Ok, IE was defiantly crapping out at the overlib line for onmouseover.  I caught the error in IE6.  I now see that your site does not have the overlib JS errors anymore.  So that is 1 error down 1 to go.  Let me see what I can come up with.

Update1:  I created an account @ your site and I confirm IE6/IE7 craps out...  Is not related to Vista.  I'll look into it.  Found out my site breaks just like yours!  Oh happy days!




BTW:  Your site breaks in IE6, the left column drops below the middle and right column.

Cheers

    What is it?

Ok here is the deal IE sucks.  Everything about the bowser sucks.  From the buttons to the speed to the debugging.  IT ALL SUCKS!

Now for what I have found. 

It seems like for some reason the IE just cannot do anything correctly.  Your site funnyballs.com  :P  kills not only IE but takes down my new debugger (made by Microsoft of course).  Your code does not warrant a complete death blow to IE, IE just cannot handle it. 

This really does not seem to have anything to do with mootools, Joomla 1.5, Sobi2, javascript, WYSIWG tinymce.  Even mixed they seem to work fine together.  It has everything to do with how IE handles exceptions, errors, etc.

So what is the cause?

Here is an article to better explain it: http://clientside.cnet.com/code-snippets/manipulating-the-dom/ie-and-operation-aborted/

So thatch10 I need you to comment out ja.cssmenu.js and see if that helps.  That will probably kill your suckerfish menus.  If you can, try creating a hard code link on the front page to "Add Entry" to test it out.  My debugger is put to a death blow by this line if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", sfHover);  in that file.

If you are brave you could try replacing the line in RED with the following:
    window.addEvent('domready', function(){
      sfHover
   });
Window.addEvent is mootools way of waiting after the DOM is ready to load your suckerfish menus.

Quote:   "In my experience, this error is encountered when one writes code that tries to do things before the page is ready - inline javascript or something like that. You should avoid document.write entirely. You should avoid innerHTML entirely (and use things like Mootools setHTML method to avoid memory issues). "   This is not my quote it was taken from Aaron over at the site that is posted above


I pray that makes sense and it helps you somewhat!
Cheers!

Thanks again for a very informative post. I am attempting to understand what is posted in the link and will attempt the changes that you suggested. This may take a little time as I need to get my head around everytning.

I am on a steep learning curve at the moment and will get back to you when I have managed to make the changes suggested.

Thanks again

Thatch :)

Ok Then guys, attempted to modify the js modules to the latest versions, attempted to implement the changes described by uoobuild.com and got myself into a little bit of a mess.

Changed templates no joy

Strugling to concentrate as I have a severe dose of Man Flu and nothing seems to be sinking in. Copied my site and ftp'd it to my test server. copied the database from the host to ensure that we were looking at the same info. It worked ok here adding in i.e did not bring up the error. I adjusted my test server components as much as i could to reflect my hosts and it still worked. ok I thought, so where do I go from here.

Test server is windows based, dont have file permissions to set on windows, however my host is on Linux, where file permissions have caused a few problems.looked at every config in sobi and could't find what I was looking for until I got down into the templates and CSS section. Changing the permissions of the details view template didn't affect anything, however changing the V card permisions however appears to have fixed the internet explorer crashing out with the error. I say appears as every now and again it seems to do it.

uoobuild.com could you please attempt again and let me know what happens for you. I havent had chance to try out the i.e 6 bug that you reported yet either so that will still be there.

Tested your site w/ie7.  It still has the IE crash.  This crash would not have anything to do with file permissions. 

Ok lets go at this a step @ a time

Try commenting out this line in your ja.cssmenu.js at line #191

Window.onDomReady(function() {new DropdownMenu($('ja-cssmenu'))});


Run it to see if you get ie7 to work right.  Let me know!
