Javascript in dada_mail.js has Internet Explorer-Specific Bugs

[justingit]

Most of these are probably to do with small, silly things, like extra comments on paramater lists, and things like that.

If anyone wants to try out my progress, you can use this file,

https://raw.github.com/justingit/dada-mail/564ddccf7b8d3c47fb698dd8dc02e4a1340b221c/dada/static/javascripts/dada_mail.js

as a drop-in replacement for your dada_mail_support_files/static/javascripts/dada_mail.js file. Seems to make things in the list control panel magically work for me for IE 7.

Tried this with IE9 and the only difference I notice is that it crashes IE before the Admin screen of Dada Mail will load. Once it is loaded, the same things that didn't work before still don't work. It's possible there is some kind of propagation delay, so I'll try again tomorrow morning to see if there's any difference then.

I would greatly appreciate any javascript error messages you receive in browser. I can't fix things, without that sort of feedback.

I got no browser error messages. Initially IE usually crashes, then it reloads the page. Then, areas if the page are blank and many buttons don't work.

It seems unlikely you can fix this without buying a Windows box, but I would think any old machine capable of running recent versions of IE would do.

Best,
David

Heh, this a bug in Dada Mail, or Internet Explorer?! ;)

The changes I've made at least work for me, in IE7 (on a real Windows box), I'm surprised the changes would crash IE9.

I don't know. IE7 is a different animal than IE9.

Best,
David

I've done some testing on both IE7 and IE9, and at least for me, everything JS-related is working just fine. I'm closing this bug, with the release of v6.5.1 of DM, to count the HISTORICAL bugs. New IE-related bugs will crop up inevitably, and new issues will be opened up for it.
