error when uploading product
 

When Uploading product using IE8 I get a popup script error:

Line: 185
Character: 2
Code: 0
Error Message: 'extra1.value' is null or not an object
URL: http://mysite.com/reviews/uploadproduct.php

Here is the code at line 185:

if (form.extra1.value == "" ) {
alert( ": " );
form.extra1.focus();
return false;
}

In looking at the code I see the checkForm function which validates input fields. It like by default it only checks the title field. I'm guessing that extra1 through 6 get modified when you add additional fields and then validates them. I have not added any additional fields.

Seems to work fine in FF, Opra, Chrome and Safari. Although it seems that IE8 errors out on a code that the other browsers have no problem with.

Is there a fix?

Interesting I will have to see if I can replicate that

Chuck,

Were you able to replicate that error with IE8? I installed RP on my VB 4.04 test site and got the same behavior. Then I tested on my VB 4.03 set site and got the same behavior there as well.

IE8 seems to be ok with :
function checkForm (form) {
if (form.title.value == "") {
alert( "{$rp_phrase['blanktitle']}" );
form.title.focus();
return false;
}


but then has issues with:
if (form.extra1.value == "" ) {
alert( "{$rp_phrase['blankfield']}: {$Globals['extra1name']}" );
form.extra1.focus();
return false;
}

the code for all 6 other than the name looks the same.

No sorry I do not get any error for that in IE 8 on my computer and really dont see why there would be an issue.

Chuck,

I tested it from another instance of IE8 running on Windows 2008 server and there were no errors. The machine that was generating errors was a Windows 7 64 bit workstation. I don't have another Win7 install to test from. Hopefully this is due to something with my particular install of Win 7?

most likely that is the case a computer browser specific issue.

If it's just my PC then I can live with that. I just want to confirm that folks running Win7 (which comes with IE8) are not going to see the same error when I go live.

well I am using IE8 without any issues as posted
