[Xerte] Re: Browsers behaving badly

[Alistair McNaught]

It's a good question because I have had intermittent problems with that upload button but I can't recall for certain whether it was on chrome or a different browser.

Just tried it again in chrome and it brought up the dialogue box (ie the button worked this time) but as soon as I browsed to an image I got this message (the one I got on Internet Explorer last time). I clicked okay and it froze in the flickery kind of way.

I did it a third time and it worked perfectly.
I did it a fourth time and it still worked perfectly.

Somebody once said to me that technology is based on predictable, immutable laws of physics.
I think they were lying.

Any obvious reasons for the following?

I'm using toolkits version 1.9 I started with Google chrome but when I try to add an image onto a Media> Graphics and sound page the Import media button remained obstinately unresponsive. I searched through to check that it wasn't loading a dialogue box in the background that there was nothing anywhere on screen or behind screen that I could find.

I published the changes are made so far, close the browser reloaded and try to add the image again and had exactly the same problem; completely unresponsive image button. I then moved to Internet Explorer. The import media button did what it was supposed to but I had a message about the script making the browser unresponsive. Everything ground to a halt.

It actually very simple stuff I'm trying to do in preparation for the Xerte Friday session tomorrow. Any hints or tips as to what might be going wrong?
