[SOLVED] AJAX works in all browsers but firefox...

[therealwesfoster]

Ok, this is a weird problem. For me, my AJAX script works in ALL browsers. But for my client, it works in all browsers EXCEPT for firefox. And he's had ~5 other people test it in FF and it still doesn't work.

 

I have no clue why it only works on my computer.

 

But I'm linking you guys to it to hopefully get an answer. Let me know your thoughts.

And the .JS file:

Big big thanks

Yeah, it works for me too. But the client is claiming to have problems. So, people, please continue to check it, and if it doesn't work for you, please try and help me out with the problem.

 

Thanks

It works for me in firefox as well.

 

Check to make sure your client doesn't have the 'noscript' plug-in installed in firefox. If (s)he does, javascript will have to be enabled before it will work.

 

If such is the case, and you have spent a fair bit of time on this, I would bill the client for the time you have spent trying to solve this problem.

Oh yes, I will be billing if that was the case I'll ask him about this.

 

Anyone else?

 

[edit] I've added a <noscript> tag in the page. So this will tell if it's his browser not allowing javascript. Thanks for the tip haku

FF 2.0.0.14, WinXP Pro SP2.

I actually having a hard time getting the errors, since the search keeps crashing my Firefox completely.

I was almost sure I saw 2 or 3 errors one time before it crashed, now all I get is this:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIXMLHttpRequest.send]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: http://atlantasyoungfaces.com/ajax/init.js :: submitSearch :: line 77"  data: no]

 

That doesn't tell much other than it failed on the send.

I've had some wierd problems with POSTing before, I try to keep it to GET or I use a popunder window, POST a form to it then close it.

(But I can get away with telling everybody to allow popups form that server on my Intranet site)

I'm going to change the form to a GET method. I'll post back once I do so you can try it again.

 

Thanks again

[therealwesfoster]

Ok try it now. I've set it to a GET method.

 

I should add that it still works for me

it doesn't work for me 

 

also i get a page not found error on /ajax/submit.php

 

firefox 2.0.0.14

 

doesn't work in my ie7 either

[therealwesfoster]

Yeah, the client refused to pay after I had fixed the script, so I removed the scripts from his server.

 

So I'll mark this as solved until he gets things straight with me.
