Hmmm.... I'm still not seeing it.  I run with the script debugger on in IE because I use that for my contracting gig, other than that I don't use it.  When you say "Fun and Games" do you mean the Arcade?

Are you using IE6 or IE7?

Does it on IE7 at work and home (though they're probably set up similarly).

Click on the white "Forum" link with the brown luxury imitation wood veneer background immediately under the picture of the monastery.

Then click on the blue "Fun and Games" link directly beneath it some way down the page.


I wouldn't worry about it though, unless the loss of statistics due to crashing Javascript is a problem (Now why would Google want to lose IE hits  ).

I get "Errors on page" or "Done, but with errors" in the status bar at the foot of IE on virtually all interaction with the Monastery.

Hence I deduce, it is not worth chasing one error unless you are prepared to chase them all

This s/w is Very Buggy. Most forum S/w is. It's free innit?

Naughty. Don't bait the hippies. 

Unless you want to spend the time rewriting in Sharepoint.

Must be some kind of M$ bug because I don't get it FireFox.  M$ software is buggy.

Thanks beagle!  I'll look into it.  When I click on 'Yes' to debug, it doesn't bring up the debugger. LOL!  M$ sucks.  It just tells me there's an error on line 505.  Can anybody show me where that is?

I attached to IE with Visual Studio and then paused the program when the message box appeared. It highlit the closing curly bracket of the function below in qa.js.

One of the monastery ones seems to be here in Google Analytics:

u.onload=x||function(){}

I've been out of the Javascript loop for years but what does it mean to set an onload handler to something or-ed with a function that doesn't return a value?

It's not made easier to read by them obfuscating the Javascript and squashing it to maximize download speed.

Does appear to be some sort of Google Analytics problem.  One would think they would know better than to not test their code on IE browsers.  Or they just don't care about that error.

I don't really want to look at it.  We should just get rid of the GA stuff.  I don't think anybody is looking at it anyways.

I wouldn't know: I blocked Google Analytics in my NoScript engine years ago, and never looked back....

I reckon they just don't have an inifinty sign on their keybords and that is the closest they can get to writing one. (Presumably they don't have zero keys either).

That's an 'or' so I am guessing that if x is undefined then the empty function will take it's place.  I'm guessing it doesn't work well in M$.

[beagle]

Maybe it would work rewritten as:

u.onload=x ? x : function(){} ;

That wouldn't rely on function addresses surviving type coercion unscathed.

But I like your plan better...

Seems like all that GA stuff was put in there the hard way.  The Joomla pages aren't even tracked.  Ugh...I still don't want to mess with it.

[Griffin NoName]

I wouldn't even consider messing with it. You'd make more people happy by writing a new Joomla/SMF bridge

But. Life is Too Short.

[ivor]

Google Analytics has nothing to do with the bridge.  The bridge is between Joomla and SMF. 

When we get into Joomla 1.5 we can use JFusion.  JFusion is better because it doesn't require any patching. JFusion uses plugins.  JFusion also supports SMF (legally) and phpBB3.

I wasn't saying GA did have anything to do with "the bridge". Why would I think it did?  I was merely being facetious about what to spend time on - or rather what NOT to spend time on

My experience of all this raft of s/w is it is the patching which tends towards ultimately rendering useles...... ie. temptation to make a Mod to add whatever..... with expensive s/w we dont do our own patches.

So I deduce the seduction of free open source s/w has the devil in it.

Anyone getting Google Advanced Search with missing boxes?   Been like it all day here. Maybe a UK site thing.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

It works fine for me but then again I use Firefox.
