rokgallery will not show with IE 9 and ChronoForms for J3.0

I Had strange problem on site I was building - at one of the pages the images from rokgallery did now show up at moduleposition (showcase-a) where they show up on every other page on same site.
I narrowed down the problem to be chronoforms (I used it with plugin, but same appears on module too). I changed my for to most simplest one - one textbox only. If I put show HTML to events, the rokgallery image stopped showing up. If I had the same form but without show HTML event, the rokgallery image showed up normally.

I was about to ask the question here already but then made a testsite, where I uninstalled the chronoforms component, plugin and module and reinstalled them but with different version - and all worked fine: the rokgallery image showed up even with chronoforms on same page.

Please note, the problems did show up only with Internet Explorer 9

Thus I thought to report it as a bug.

In case needed:
Joomla version: 2.5.8
ChronoForms packages with which the problems showed up: Chronoforms_V4_RC3.5.2.5_J3.0.zip, Chronoforms_J3.0_V4_RC3.5.3_Plugin.zip (also tested then with Mod_Chronoforms_J3.0_V4_RC3.5.3.zip)
Rokgallery version: 2.22
IE version: 9.0.8112 (64bit, shows update versions 9.0.12)
RocketTheme template: Leviathan

If needed I can provide details to see that out, I put that to test site

Hi Seppo,

This sounds like a JavaScript problem. Is there any message that shows in the IE9 Console (click F12 to see it) when the error occurs?

Hi Bob/GreyHead,

You are correct, it seems JavaScript problem: the console reported this error:

SCRIPT5007: Unable to get value of the property 'match': object is null or undefined
formcheck-yui.js, line 1 character 16392

Yes. I also have this problem.
Is there a way to bypass it? Is the problem with chronoforms module or Rokgallery?
Thanks

Hello,

Joomla version: 2.5.8
ChronoForms packages with which the problems showed up: Chronoforms_V4_RC3.5.2.5_J3.0.zip, Chronoforms_J3.0_V4_RC3.5.3_Plugin.zip

Please backup your forms, uninstall the Chronoforms files and install the correct version for J1.6/J2.5, because right now you have J3.0 version which is not going to work well on J2.5.

Regards,
Max

Hi Gioria,

Can you post a link to the form? The error is showing in the ChronoForms validation code but that may not be the cause.

Hi Bob
The company http://www.xpandion.com/ bought a licence but the error is on a new site we are building for them:

(This is Joomla 3 )

Hi,

One step forward . . .

The error is in the CF JavaScript file but is being triggered by this CSS snippet which I think is from the menu???

  <style type="text/css">
a, ul.menu li .separator {color:;}

				
  </style>

The Validation code scans the list of loaded stylesheets using the document.styleSheets array trying to match the href attribute, when it comes to this last entry the href is null as it isn't a loaded file and the error occurs.

I have no idea why this is only occurring in Joomla! 3.0 though, nor what the fix is.

Bob

Is that J3 issue?
Do you think that if I downgrade to J 2.5 it will work?
Thanks

Hi Giota,

I don't know. I haven't seen this particular problem before so it could be something that has been 'added' in Joomla! 3.0. But I'm not clear what would have to change in Joomla!to cause this.

I'll try to find time to look at the CF Validation code as it ought to be possible to hack that.

Bob

Same RT template and Rokgallery works OK in Joomla 2.5

Did anyone get any further with this problem as i have it too :-(

Thanks

I just removed the offending bit of code in the end to get this working in IE

I was not bothered about the formcheck script fixing ie css anyway LOL

this is the bit i edited in the formcheck-yui.js file

fixIeStuffs:function(){if(ie){var f=new RegExp(

to

fixIeStuffs:function(){if(false){var f=new RegExp(

It seems to get it working in ie

I know this is an old thread now but I have just encountered this problem while working on a Joomla 3 site with ChronoForms 4. I thought I would post the solution here as it may be helpful and perhaps could be added to a future release.

The problem in formcheck-yui.js is the following statement at line 1, column 16395 is throwing an error in IE9+ if there are any <style> tags in the page:

if(document.styleSheets[c].href.match(/formcheck\.css$/))

I believe this is because these inline syle sections are included in the document.styleSheets array but as they are not actual stylesheets they have no href property. This problem can be resolved by amending the code to check if the href exists before trying to call the match function like this:

if(document.styleSheets[c].href && document.styleSheets[c].href.match(/formcheck\.css$/))

I hope this is helpful.

Hi.
eswinfen - many thanks.

I have a problem:
"SCRIPT5007: Unable to get value of the property 'match': object is null or undefined
formcheck-yui.js, line 1 character 16392"
(Joomla 3.2, Chronoforms_V4.0.4_J3.0 , IE 10)

Your council helped to solve a problem.
Thanks.
