Accessing the home page with IE7 displays

GeoNetwork opensource catalogue
Loading ...

There is a JavaScript error with the following.
    line: 366
    Char: 7
    Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
    Code:0

When I view the source I see the following for line 365 and 366

Ext.onReady(function(){
$("loading").hide();

See [http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/current-nightly-build-does-not-
work-with-ie7-tc4989131.html] for more details.

Comment(by ianwallen):

I have a simple patch that seems to correct. It seems like IE7 does not
like the following
$("loading").hide();
Changing it to extjs notation as follows
Ext.get("loading").hide();
Seems to correct the problem

I'm not sure if this breaks anything else. Also This may not be solving
the real underlining problem of why it did not work in the first place
(but works with other browsers)? i.e. there may be other errors related to
the $() notation....

Comment(by ianwallen):

Although this patch fixes the main page, it was noticed that there are
similar issues elsewheres with ie7.

From the administration section

  * My metadata
  * Add a metadata schema/profile
  * Update a metadata schema/profile
  * Delete a metadata schema/profile

all have similar issues with the following code.

Event.observe(window, 'load', function() {
                 if ($("content_container")) {
                     $("content_container").show();
                 }
             });

The following links also fail to work - for other reasons which may be
related.

  * Harvesting management
  * Manage thesauri
  * Manage directories

Comment(by ianwallen):

Just realized that the patch may cause issues as the ExtJS library may not
be loaded on all the pages that use the new code.

Attempted to apply similar patch for "content_container" and got error
related to the "Ext" undefined.

I don't understand the structure of the pages so I'm not sure where to
update the code to include the extJS lib.

See discussion from [http://osgeo-

Another possible fix may be to add "<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible"
content="IE=7"/> " to xsl/header.xsl

Comment:

delawen - as there has not been any activity from your end I moved this
bug back to the group for more visibility. Hope you don't mind.

Note: I guess it could also be the prototype.js from the utils.xsl that
needs to be removed.

Either way one of them needs to be removed to fix the bug.

I'm not sure which one is the safest to remove.

Note: Looks like the real bug has been identifies - The prototype.js is being
called twice - see Ticket #996
<http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/ticket/996#comment:8> for details.

Now If someone who knowledgeable with all the js include scripts can
identify which prototype.js needs to be removed, we should be all set.

Thanks.

Looks like I can still download IE7 (need to test this out) but I think we could safely leave this to 2.8.1 (IE7 users must be pretty thin on the ground - 1.5-5% according to wikipedia :-)).

Could we just get this release out? I can't see any reason to hold onto it any longer, unless someone has some other problems with the new lucene indexing.

Cheers,
Simon

Maybe only a review of the doco to make sure that any old/out of date stuff has been removed (think there is some relating to gast)? I'll look at that now. Let me know if there are any other things that need doing to make this happen.

Simon,

You can download
<http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11575> the
Virtual Machine from Microsoft for testing.
If using these VM's then I suggest that you download XPIE6 version and
upgrade to IE7 as it is a lot smaller. I tested with the VistaIE7 but it
took a long time to download. Also if you are using virtualbox, you may need
ensure that the virtual disk are mounted as IDE drives and not SCSI(default)
or it will not work.

I'm OK with waiting until 2.8.1 for the fix - like you said - I would rather
see the 2.8.0 released.

I uploaded ticket996-header_cleanup.patch as a proposed patch to cleanup
the headers.

Maybe we can apply the patch to the master for testing and later apply it
to the 2.8.1 branch.

Comment(by josegar74):

Related to this comment:

If I removed the protocol.js call from main-page.xsl it seems to fix the
issue - But comments specify that it was added "To avoid an interaction
with prototype and ExtJs?.Tooltip, should be loadded before ExtJs?"

Anyone know anything about this?

----

This was added when changed Intermap to OpenLayers/GeoExt. I can't
remember exactly the problem, but I think ExtJs tooltips not displayed if
prototype was loaded after ExtJs.

Commit to master is 09165ed16f5849ba72556cf8edc0d6c85f0329e4

Will let it soak for a little bit - if it does not cause any issues, will
merge the change into the 2.8 branch.
