Hi, Did a fresh install on a Windows 2003 server (and tried it on my personal computer) After startup I can click on Norway/nor, and then the server just stops responding.

Probably a very bad config file. On Windows XP it informs we of Dr Watson, memory could not be read message. Using Firefox 3.0.11 But if I use IE 7, no problem at all.. Any suggestion? Best regards Michael Husbyn

This must be related to the unknown cookie "style". There was some work recently on elog to make it robust against unknonw cookies. The latest modification was on version 2192, and you probably have an older version. I made a release elog276-2.exe for you. Try it and let me know. You can also just delete your cookies in Firefor and it should be fine, but it's better not being able to crash elog.

Sure I will try, but I cannot find the version you are talking about in the download section. Should I find it there or any other place? Thanks for quick feedback

Ah, the GET /nor/elog.rdf gave me somt hint: Your Firefox browser checks the RSS feed of elog regularly. If the logbook is empty, the routing producing the elog.rdf file went into some kind of infinite loop, but this only happens on an empty logbook. If fixed this and updated the 276-2 file just now, so try again.

icon4.gif   Checks on datetime seconds field generate warning in IE7, posted by Richard Stamper on Wed Jul 1 17:00:30 2009 Javascript_warning.jpg

When adding a log entry containing a datetime field using the IE7 browser a Javascript warning is displayed - see the attachment.  This is due to a change in the naming of the "seconds" field of a datetime entry (made in version 2143) not being propagated to the code that generates the Javascript that checks the supplied values.

Suggested patch follows.

Change "s%d" to "c%d" in lines 9675 and 9678.

Showing lines 9675-9680 below, change from:

               rsprintf("  if (document.form1.s%d.value == \"\") {\n", i);
               sprintf(str, loc("Please enter second for attribute '%s'"), attr_list[i]);
               rsprintf("    alert(\"%s\");\n", str);
               rsprintf("    document.form1.s%d.focus();\n", i);
               rsprintf("    return false;\n");
               rsprintf("  }\n");

to:

               rsprintf("  if (document.form1.c%d.value == \"\") {\n", i);
               sprintf(str, loc("Please enter second for attribute '%s'"), attr_list[i]);
               rsprintf("    alert(\"%s\");\n", str);
               rsprintf("    document.form1.c%d.focus();\n", i);
               rsprintf("    return false;\n");
               rsprintf("  }\n");

Regards,

Richard Stamper

This is absolutely correct, even the right fix. I put that into the distribution. Thanks a lot.
