the harvesting management page (where you land from the admin menu page if
you go to harvesting management) is broken in IE.
Surpisingly this seems to have been broken for the longest time and nobody
bothered.. but my project now does.
That page first loads as such, without any data, and then fetches its data
using intricate javascript libraries. But as the necessary information is
simply available in the database, there is no apparent need to do it like
that.
After consulting Jeroen Ticheler we agree that the best fix is to remove the
Ajax-setup of that page and simply load it in one go. This will be simpler
and probably faster (only 1 request), and should work even in IE.
I'll also re-arrange the buttons somewhat and probably remove the "refresh"
button in favour of an automatic refresh.
just to share this with you : Simon Pigot informed me that a bug in the
Sarissa javascript library causes this error, and that upgrading to the
latest version (0.9.9.4) fixes it. I tried it, and indeed it works. Thanks a
lot Simon !
Now the re-doing of the harvesting management page (to make it load in one
go) is less a priority for my project, although I'm still for it and may do
it on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
As the Sarissa upgrade hasn't seemed to break anything I'll check it in to
the trunk.
Kind regards

Glad its fixed - just so the credit goes to the right place - as I mentioned in my email, it was Stephen Davies from GA who found the bug and the fix to upgrade sarissa in a similar piece of javascript used in the transfer ownership function - my observation was that it had also fixed the problem with the harvesting page in IE.
Cheers,
Simon
