Version 5.62 Error & Tooltips
Version 5.62 Error & Tooltips
The following line of code has been working correct until Version 5.62. Getting an error message using IE that states the following
Line: 94
Char: 2
Error: Object expected
Code:0
aI("text=News;url=/news.htm;target=windowname;targetfeatures=width=310 height=350 scrollbars=yes status=yes;oncolor=black;offcolor=white;offbgcolor=red;status=PopUp News;onfunction=showtip('News Updated Dec 4');separatorsize=1;");
My site is loading Version 5.52, which does not give error.

I think you need to upgrade the tooltips module http://milonic.com/tooltips.js Andy mentioned someplace that it was updated with verison 5.60.

Thanks Ruth... I did update the tooltips.js file and now I get a different error in IE. The error now occurs when you click on the "News" menu item. Before it was when you placed the cursor over the item
Line: 21
Char: 13603
Error: '_1.2' is null not an object
Code: 0
I do not get the error using Opera, but when you click on the "News" menu it does no open up in a new window as defined on the command line.
I will leave the latest Version 5.62 files and tooltips.js on the server for a day so someone can other than myself can see the problem.

Add ON: I was looking for the latest tooltips.js file and I think the file that is on the Milonic server is version 1.1. The version that was working with Milonic menu version 5.52 was version 1.2.. Maybe I have the wrong files or something. Anyone got an answer??

I've been around, just had not had a problem until the latest update. Try to keep the latest version posted.
There is a difference in the two versions.
Version of tooltips 1.2 was dated June 20, 2004, that is when I downloaded the file. I did a compare between version 1.1 and 1.2 and the following is the difference. Version 1.1 (near bottom of file ) has a line of code "clearTimeout(_Mtip)" and Version 1.2 has "$CtI(_Mtip); ".
Means nothing to me.
I do not care which version, just want to get rid of Javascript error. do you get the error John??

Are using using IE. If so you need to turn on the display error messages under Tools/Internet Options/Advanced
It goes away because the popup window gets activated and does away with the "Error" in the status line of the browser.
Also the next page is suppose to come up in its own defined window size, not as a whole page...

Oh, thanks a bunch...bobwill wrote:Thanks John....I understand about J.O.B. and paying bills. Had one for 38 years, now G.O.L.F. is priority.....
I've got it posted at http://www.west.asu.edu/sa/testsite/. I see the error when hanging over News, but when I click it goes on through and brings up the small window. Status is there, but no tooltip - yet.
Is this what you're seeing on your site?
John
Using your test site I get an error when I hover over News. If I clear the pop up error message and then click on News I do not get the News pop up. Status bar states that javascript is void.
If clear the pop up error message and then go to another part of the menu and then back to click on News if seems to work...Sometimes...

My apologies. Sent him a separate email on 7 Dec just in case he missed this thread. I haven't heard from him, either. Not an excuse, but there have been serious main server problems that have taken him away from the menu. He's been setting up a new server from scratch, looking for a new ISP, etc. Tried calling him yesterday (yes, to the UK!), but got no answer. Will try again today.
Just so we're on the same page, tooltips is now at 1.1 and the menu is at 5.63.

Hi Bob,
Sorry about my lack of appearance, as John says we've got some major server issues that have been taking up a lot of my time recently. We are currently in the process of moving server hosts and it's hell trying to get domain names transfered ensuring that we can have the minimum of downtime.
Anyway, John has just called me and told me that I really need to get on this post so I'm here now and I'll do what I can
John's copy of your site http://www.west.asu.edu/sa/testsite/ is using the older tooltips.js file - If that was updated it would probably work OK.
I've just grabbed a copy of your site and tried it with the new 5.63 and it seems to be OK - Obviously using the new tooltips.js file.
Can you try 5.63 - If it still fails, can you please post a copy of your home page to http://www.baseball.legion.org/milonic.htm using the buggy files and I'll then be able to see exactly where the problem is.
Hope this helps
Andy
