javascript errors when starting Ephox in WCM

[Jeff Grossman]

Hi,

We have been having an occasional problem when invoking Ephox in a WCM Authoring Template.  We upgraded to the latest Ephox -- 6.7.4.30 -- and it's still happening.  So, time to tell someone about it!

Everything is fine in FireFox (of course).

In IE 7, we get two errors:  the first is "object required";  the second is "invalid argument".  See the captures from MS Script Debugger at the end of my message.

In both cases, the tools shows that all variables have values, all functions are invoked correctly, etc etc etc.

Can anyone shed some light?

Thank you.


Jeff

Sorry about the double-post... it's hard to get connectivity for work when other people are downloading movies....

These IE javascript errors typically mean a member of a DOM object has
been accessed, after the object has been removed from the DOM. I've
encountered this error myself in WCM 6.0.1.3 and it appears to be within
IBM's javascript code - I think they just need to check if the object
exists before running the code in question. I will be raising this with
IBM.

I would strongly recommend that you also raise a PMR with IBM in order
to get a quick resolution.

Kind regards,

Thanks for the diagnosis.

I thought Ephox wasn't licensed for use with WCM until 6.1 ?

EditLive! for WCM is available as an add-on product for WCM 5.1 and 6.0.
WCM 6.1 is the first version with the EditLive! editor built-in. We also
sell EditLive! Enterprise edition as an add-on for all of these WCM
versions, which gives you extra features like Track Changes and Inline
Image Editing.

Hi Jeff,
We're just investigating this error some more ourselves - what version of WCM are you currently running?

Thanks,
Adrian Sutton.

Portal 6.0.1.4, WCM cumulative ifix 16, and 37 additional PKs.
