Firefox problem when Text is changed front-side and then server-side [message #110739]

Hello,

I have the following problem on Firefox3. No error on IE7.

The user edits the value of a Text component front side and selects a
button.
This selection calls a service which retrieves data and then modifies the
Text component with a new value.

As a result, I get a blank page with the following error message :
Could not evaluate javascript response:

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMNSHTMLInputElement.selectionStart]" nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame ::
http://127.0.0.1:1931/rap?startup=default :: anonymous :: line 171" data:
no]

If I don't edit the Text component front-side or server-side I have no
error.

Is this a known issue ? Will it be fixed or is there a workaround ?

Thanks,

Loïc

Hi,

I recently discovered an issue that looks similar to what you
describe. A workaround is in CVS HEAD. For more information have a
look at the bug entry:

causes exception in FF

Hi,

Thanks for your answer, my Text is indeed hidden in a Section (on which
setExpanded(false) is called).

Hallo Ruediger,

I get exactly the same error when i switch between 2 editors, each of
which is a FormEditor having 1 FormPage in it. The forms in both editors
use ScrolledForm and the FormToolkit. One of the forms creates a number of
text widgets using the toolkit, while the other is blank (haven't written
anything in it yet). The problem occurs when i switch from a FormPage
containing the widgets to a FormPage that is blank, or between 2 editor
instances, each of which have these text widgets in their only form pages.
Is there someway to avoid this error? Or precautions i must take while
writing these?

TIA,
Kind Regards,
- abhi

Hi Ruediger,

i am using target platform rap-1.1.1-SR1-target-3.4-20080917-1625. I
believe this fix is currently only in CVS and will be distributed only
with 1.2 (as per target milestone). I was wondering if there was any way
in which i could circumvent this issue until the fix is out.

TIA,
Best Regards,
-abhi

abhi,

yes, the fix is "only" in CVS. The only way I know of to
"circumvent" the issue is to work against CVS;)

Cheers,
Rüdiger
