Firefox Javascript console

Hi,

I have successfully eliminated all of my site's JS "errors" found inside the Firefox JS console...all but 1. And, this one error appears to be directly caused by the Milonic Menu. It is nothing serious, but I would like to clear it out if possible.

I am getting:
Error: Error in parsing value for property 'font-Style'. Declaration dropped.

I have 10 tabs, and coincidentally 10 errors in the JS Console. SO, I'm making an assumption the 2 are related.

From what I can tell, the Milonic menu may be getting a faint rap on the knuckles because FF wants that property to be all lowercase in the javascript file (my guess). However, the uppercase 'Style' is inside the dom file which we are asked not to modify. So, it would need to be fixed in the JS in the next update Milonic sends out.

Has anyone else seen this error, and possibly found a way to remove it? It's pretty annoying. Other than that minor issue, which users never see anyway, the menu seems pretty sweet.

Hi Eric,

I've never seen that error and I use the js console all the time because I am forever messing something up

I think we'd need to see the page so we see your html, css and the menu_data file.

It's interesting if that is the problem that you're not also getting the same error for the font-Weight....

Thanks for replying. Here's a sample just isolating the header and footer:

You'll notice if you keep your console window open that when you roll over the menu to access the submenus, the same errors appear for those as well.

I should point out that these are not true "errors" but more realisically Firefox standards displaying extreme anal retention. Regardless, it would nice to eliminate the "errors."

Well, duh

I haven't update FF so that is probably why I'm not getting those errors. However, if you are getting it for the font-Style and you think it's the capital letter, then you should also get the error for the font-Weight, should you not?

I guess that's rhetorical since I can't test it anyway

I'll post to Milonic but am not sure anything can be done. I have no idea why the letter is capital, but there would be some reason.

Hi,

The problem is you have declared a font-Style of bold.

font-style should be either normal or italic.

Hope this helps,
Andy

PS - and yes, it is Firefox being anal, very anal about it's errors.
