I don't know what to say. I am due to install Windows XP under a virtual machine so I can do this exact kind of thing - test webpages on a computer that is not up to date. I can't downgrade from Internet Explorer 8 to version 7, nor would I want to...

IE8 works fine though. When I change to compatibility view, the comment still posted but I got the following error still:

Webpage error details
 
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; FDM; InfoPath.2; eMusic DLM/4)
Timestamp: Wed, 15 Jul 2009 09:27:28 UTC
 
 
Message: 'getElementsByTagName(...).0' is null or not an object
Line: 859
Char: 5
Code: 0

You could always do what everyone should be doing - check the User Agent and if it's IE7 make a modal popup appear and tell them to use a browser that isn't crappy

But yeah, that hurts potential audiences...

I wish Google blocked IE7 to be honest

I will probably do just that and I don't want to take up too much of your time. Do you think its safe to modify the language file? Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

I'm afraid I think there is a problem with that specific computer Tim. I just posted a comment in IE7 under Windows XP and it worked 100% fine.

Is this your computer or something that a user reported? It may be antivirus conflicting or some other software causing the error

No idea about Safari. Are you behind a proxy?

Yea, it is probably my computer now because the post didn't work. I am not behind a proxy, but I have Norton antivirus. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

It doesn't work in any of the browsers now. Do you think if I did a complete uninstall (set complete uninstall mode to yes in the general tab) and then reinstall with 4.0 beta1 this might solve things? I would have to enter in the comments by hand, right? I don't mind doing that if the complete reinstall would solve the issues.

Daniel Dimitrov Away Administrator Posts: 9618 Karma: 155 Thank you received: 1081	Tim I don't understand what you are doing? How is it possible that it worked yesterday and now it is not working, what did you do? Did you install a new extension, did you play with the settings or what?

I think there is some foul trickery going on here

Who's your webhost? Are you sure the users who reported the error are on IE7? Because IE6 doesnt support AJAX.

If it decided to break on its own for no reason, I think thats something outside the scope of JoComment. If I were you, I would erase my webserver and start from scratch

apart from that, maybe do a full uninstall of JoomlaComment (including database tables) and start from scratch.

Not sure what else to say, my only guess is that the webhost is misconfigured.

Can't really erase the webserver because the site needs to be up to serve the customers. Thanks for all your help guys. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.
