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.

  66428   Wed Jul 1 17:00:30 2009 Warning Richard Stamperr.stamper@rl.ac.ukBug reportWindows2.7.6-2227Checks on datetime seconds field generate warning in IE7

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");

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

  66435   Mon Jul 6 17:20:36 2009 Question Mikemike@raghuexim.comBug reportLinux2.7.6-2207Page Expired, Duplicate Entries & Thumbnail Woes?

Have a few issues here. The big one is that I have some users of our elog books
that are in India, while the server is in USA. When they click on thumbnail images
then press their browser back-button they get a page expired message and are
unable to see what they were looking at before unless they go back to the main
page. Is this an elog problem or something with Apache?

Also when these users in India write messages sometimes we end up with
duplicate messages seconds apart. I'm not sure if they are pressing the submit
button repeatedly or pressing their browser back button. I've suggested they
try not to do that.

Last issue, is there a way to make thumbnail images open in a new window
by default rather then the same window? This would help fix the first issue at
least. Is there some setting to fix the page expiration/time-out issues?

Regards,
Mike
