I've got a form that I've been using since version 2.5 and it worked fine there but now I'm using 3.0 stable and I'm having a small problem. A month or so ago i had another problem with 3.0 so i just recreated the form and all is well now except when i was trying to trouble shoot the last problem I disabled validation and forgot to turn it back on then. So today i turned it on using my test site but whenever i open the contact us form with IE7 i get an error message that states the URL and below that it says Operation Aborted and the page stop loading at the form.

Get this thou, if i click "OK' to the error and refresh the page the form page loads correctly and work correctly with validation.

So i close the browser and head back to the test site home page, then open the contact us page get the error again.

This has something to do with the validation of the 2 email fields on my form because if i turn off Validation the form works well.

My test site has htaccess protection so if you need to see the form i can email you the access if that's ok.

thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

This sounds like a JavaScript problem on IE7 - most prbably a conflict between the MooTools library and something else on your page. Hard to tell more without seeing the page. You could try posting an image of the error message?

just sent you a PM, thanks Bob.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the login. I'll write my reply hear as other readers might find it useful.

First off I confirm that I get the 'Operation aborted' message when I open the Contact page on your site - and I don't get it with FireFox.

By accident I found that it is possible to refresh the page and see it in IE7, I think you just have to wait a while . . . which makes me suspicious that somethign isn't loading correctly.

I checked that the problem *isn't* with the form. If you use the index2.php syntax to look just at the form without the rest of the Joomla page

http://www.some_site.com/index2.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=quote_request

then the page loads in IE7 without any problem.

Back in FireFox - FireBug suggests that a few elements aren't loading correctly images/stories/leaf.png star-New_orange.png and mega_cleaner.png are all returning '404 Not Found' messages. It may be that these give IE7 indigestion.

You also have both the Yoo-effects and Mootools JavaScript libraries loaded. I didn't spot any conflicts but I do recall other users reporting some problems with these two.

Thanks for your help Bob. I'm not sure what the deal is with those images. I don't even have those images loading anywhere on the page? I looked at all the code and didn't see where i might have put those by mistake or anything.

But i think i figured it out thou. It's the Holiday snow effect, I'm not sure why i thought off it except i seen all that loading with firebug and figured i had tried everything else. Soon as i turn off that effect IE7 starts to cooperate with me.🙂 So i guess the boss will just have to live without that on the contact page.

thanks Bob,

Hi Mark,

Yes the snow makes sense - it didn't look so good in IE7 - maybe a problem with transprent pngs.

BTW The images are set as backgrounds to some of the menu items - leaf.png for IceStone, mega-cleaner is one of the accessory drop down items . . .

ohhhh, yea now i see.🙂 Thanks Bob, i totally forgot about those when i setup the demo site. All is well now, thanks again,
