Title: Code changes?
Post by: Phil Boswell on May 12, 2007, 10:31:59 PM
I'm having some trouble with quoting when I enter replies: just clicking the "quote" link is giving me what I assume are Javascript errors.

I'm getting much the same when I try to preview.

This is happening in FF and IE.

Have there been any changes to the code lately?

Any chance you could screen-shot these for me?  I am definitely not experiencing the quote problem at least, and there haven't been any code changes of note.  (That said, it does seem to be hanging on 'fetching preview...' when I click the preview button.)

How recently did this problem start showing up for you?

Hm. It seems that the google analytics stuff I put into the page may be messing with the preview function, at the very least.  And based on some testing, you must be talking about the 'Insert Quote' thing in the topic summary instead of the 'Quote' button on the thread display page.  Yeah, both of those seem not to function when the Analytics block is in at the end of the page.  I'll have to think hard about what I can do about that; I don't want to give up gathering my usage stats! >:(

It's just been the last few days. Interestingly the problem seems to have gone away just now...did you maybe remove something while testing it?

I don't recall the exact error I was getting, but it was something like "expected an object"...Javascript is not my best language :(

Looks like it was a problem with where I positioned the script block for the Analytics code.  I've put it in what I think is the more proper place, and the problems appear to have vanished.

Thanks for catching this.

No worries...debugging used to be my permanent job, and still takes up an indecent amount of my time ;)
/me recalls distantly the pal who modified his debugger so that the start-up message ran "debugger am here, sah!"…oh, those heady days before PC took over ;D
