Firefox Forum Issue

[potter]

Using Firefox, I find that some of the advanced forum tools do not work. On a "Threads in Forum" page (http://www.1src.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=25) the "Forum Tools" and "Search this Forum" links at the top of the thread list table do not work. On a thread page (http://www.1src.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112574) the "Thread Tools", "Search this Thread", "Rate Thread", and "Display Modes" links at the top of the thread table do not work. All of these involve JavaScript and are suppose to open a pull-down menu. Anytime I want to use one of these, I find I have to launch IE.

Currently using: Firefox 1.5.0.4
Have verified that "Enable Java" and "Enable JavaScript" are checked.

Hmm, I just opened the JavaScript Console and then reloaded this page; I received a screen full of errors. Not all of them were from 1src.com, but those that where:
Error: vbmenu_register is not defined
Source File: http://www.1src.com/forums/showthread.php?p=928080
Line: 363Was given 7 times. (I think this is probably it).
Error: fetch_object is not defined
Source File: http://www.1src.com/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_quickreply.js
Line: 19Was give once.

They all work fine for me using the same version of Firefox you are using. Clicking one on any of the options causes the drop down menu to appear. Then scrolling over any of the options causes its corresponding drop down menu to appear. The options in each drop dowm menu appear to work also.

Usually, with these issues it is some Firefox extensions that is installed and is causing the problem.

Thanks, I will double check that.

If you're using NoScript, you'll have to either allow or temporarily allow 1src.com or that stuff won't work. I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.4, AdBlock Plus, and NoScript, and having no problem.

Disabled all extensions that I have loaded, no change.

Will have to try uninstalling all extensions.

Well, I just removed all extensions from my Firefox and the problem still persists. At this point I assume it is some JavaScript setting, or maybe a cookie issue. But, I am unable to find anything that looks promising.

Oddness, probably a wild herring:

Looking at the source of this page, trying to gain insight as to what is happening, I see several external JavaScript files being loaded. The second, http://www.1src.com/forums/.../vbulletin_menu.js (http://www.1src.com/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_menu.js), I am able to load fine. It does not define vbmenu_register, but does appear to be related; it has functions and variables such as vbmenu_registered, and vbmenu_doregister. However the first, http://www.1src.com/forums/.../vbulletin_global.js (http://www.1src.com/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js), I am unable to load to look at; but yet I do not receive an error in the JavaScript dialog box.

Interesting, I can load the first file, http://www.1src.com/forums/.../vbulletin_global.js (http://www.1src.com/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js),
if I use IE, and looking in it, I do find the vbmenu_register function defined.

Okay, it just started working again, and I did not make any change (that I know of).
