[Xerte] Re: Browsers behaving badly

I can't replicate it: is it as simple as

- open a piece for editing;
- add a graphics sound page;
- browse for an image;
- preview
- browse again - and this time it doesn't work?

- Is it all browsers?

- Does the button apparently still respond to the mouse (do you see the over / down states?) and you just don't get the file browse dialog?

We have seen the following similar issue and can reproduce it for 3 installs. (just like Brane Smitek reported)

It works UNTIL you preview. As long as you keep the previewer open, the button remains functional. As soon as you close the preview however, you need to close the editor/wizard to reactivate the browse button again.

It happens for the flash preview and for the html5 preview.

Haven't had the time to look into it yet. I've seen this long before 1.91, so it is not introduced last month, buut more in october/november timeframe.

Tom

I don't think that's a toolkits problem, more a browser / OS thing.

If you're using the vle/xot install Alistair that works in both Chrome and IE for me.

I do think that something changed in 1.9 in terms of where the pop-up browse window appears and I mentioned this on the dev list previously but can't track it down reliably. I'm sure in 1.7 and previous versions that browse window always appeared on top but since 1.8/1.9 or somewhere between the two it sometimes appears below the editor window and is easily missed. Not sure if that's the issue for you but worth a mention.

Can you apparently click it, and then nothing happens, or is the button itself not responding to the mouse (do you see the mouse over / mouse down states of the button?)
It works here fine on my xampp install of 1.9. Which install are you using?

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?
