Runtime error since forum upgrade?

[VEFF]

I am not sure if I am alone, but I am getting runtime errors on every page while browsing the forums.
Is this an issue due to the upgrade that was just performed?

I am using IE 5.0 at work. Will try at home tonight (I have IE 6) .
Thanks!

[Ian]

Working fine for me under XP with IE 6.0

[CDRecorder]

I have IE6 on WinXP, and it works fine for me, too.

[Dan]

Windows 2000 Pro, IE 6.0
I'm getting the runtime error messages as well. Not on everypage though.

I think it has to do with the ads =/

[dolphinius_rex]

yeah, I'm recieving errors too.

I'm running Win2K and IE 6.0

according to IE, it's a syntax error on Line 225, Char 1 (code: 0)

hope that helps

[Turkeyscore.com]

Yeah, I'm getting those too, but on line 225

[dodecahedron]

yes, i'm getting a Runtime Error on every page load/refresh too.
"Error: Syntax Error on line 224". or 245. or 246.

WinXP, no SP1, IE6

[David]

I'm getting the error also.
Running 98SE IE6.0
Syntax Error on line 225, 230, 246.

I logged in on my old Win98 box with IE6 SP1, and I am not getting the errors. I wonder if there is a bug or strange setting on some computers which causes this error. Or could it be that ad-blocking or cookie-blocking software is causing errors?

[MediumRare]

I'm getting these at work now- IE 6, NT4 SP6, but only when I'm logged in, and then each time I change pages. At home I use Opera 7, Win 95A and have no RT errors.

Alright, that's enough of this already!

The error is caused because the script for the FastClick pop-under window ( ) is being inserted within the script block for the private message pop-up window, causing a mismatch of <script></script> tags:

This is how it is:

Code: Select all

<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
   if ( 0 )
   {
      window.open('privmsg.php?mode=newpm', '_phpbbprivmsg', 'HEIGHT=225,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400');;
   }
//-->
<!-- FASTCLICK.COM POP-UNDER CODE v1.6 for cdrlabs.com -->
<script language="javascript"><!--
var doc=document;  var url=escape(doc.location.href); var date_ob=new Date();
doc.cookie='h2=o; path=/;';var bust=date_ob.getSeconds();
if(doc.cookie.indexOf('e=llo') <= 0 && doc.cookie.indexOf('2=o') > 0){
doc.write('<scr'+'ipt language="javascript" src="http://media.fastclick.net');
doc.write('/w/pop.cgi?sid=2673&m=2&v=1.6&u='+url+'&c='+bust+'"></scr'+'ipt>');
doc.cookie='he=llo; path=/;';} // -->
</script>
<!-- FASTCLICK.COM POP-UNDER CODE v1.6 for cdrlabs.com -->

</script>

This is how it should be:

Code: Select all

<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
   if ( 0 )
   {
      window.open('privmsg.php?mode=newpm', '_phpbbprivmsg', 'HEIGHT=225,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400');;
   }
//-->
</script>

<!-- FASTCLICK.COM POP-UNDER CODE v1.6 for cdrlabs.com -->
<script language="javascript"><!--
var doc=document;  var url=escape(doc.location.href); var date_ob=new Date();
doc.cookie='h2=o; path=/;';var bust=date_ob.getSeconds();
if(doc.cookie.indexOf('e=llo') <= 0 && doc.cookie.indexOf('2=o') > 0){
doc.write('<scr'+'ipt language="javascript" src="http://media.fastclick.net');
doc.write('/w/pop.cgi?sid=2673&m=2&v=1.6&u='+url+'&c='+bust+'"></scr'+'ipt>');
doc.cookie='he=llo; path=/;';} // -->
</script>

While we wait for Socheat to work his magic and fix this, the rest of us can eliminate the annoying "Syntax error" messages by unchecking either of these two checkboxes:





I normally disable reporting of script errors (there are too many buggy scripts out there), so I wasn't getting the message all of you were reporting. But I finally decided to temporarily re-enable it to see what all the fuss was about.

[Ian]

OK, that should be fixed now.

[dolphinius_rex]

so far so good on this end!

[cfitz]

The fixed code looks fine.

I turned off the script error thing after I tried it on and it drove me nuts on almost every site I visited I also have blocked most of the anoying pop ups and disabled windows messenger, helps a lot.
