[SOLVED] Works in FF, rarely in IE, PLEASE help


HaLo2FrEeEk

Recommended Posts

Ok, this page works in Internet Explorer on XP without issue, it works in Firefox on XP and Vista without issue.  However, Internet Explorer (ver. 7 is what I use) on Vista Ultimate x64 gives problems.

 

http://infectionist.com/misc/capture/capture.php

 

What's supposed to happen is you enter your Xbox Live gamertag and the AJAX gets the information from another page and prints a dropdown list of all your film and filmclip items from your Halo 3 fileshare.  If you don't have a gamertag to test this with, use "HaLo2FrEeEk".  What happens is you put in your gamertag and click the button and you wait...and wait.  It will never finish.  What's more is that when that happens, the site is inaccessible for about 5 minutes.

 

Now, all you AJAX'ers, please PLEASE help me out with this.  I need this to be 100% compatible.  I have other AJAX pages that work just fine, using the same ajax function...why would this particular one have issues?

 

The page doing the calling/getting the result: capture.php

The page capture.php is calling to: getfileshare.php

 

This page makes 2 AJAX calls.  If the first succeeds the second will always succeed.  My usual method of finding an error in a code is putting an alert after every line of Javascript (or an echo after each line of php) and when the Alerts stop, I know that's my problem area.  I haven't tried this yet, but I'm about to.

 

Please, help me figure this out guys, I'm begging.

not sure what the problem is, but i notice you manually create an XMLHttpRequest object for the AJAX call. You already have scriptaculous loaded, why don't you use that library to do the AJAX for you. If there is something specific to IE7, i'm sure they already have it in their library.

You know, I didn't think of that and it MIGHT be the problem, but I should have removed scriptaculous, because I removed the slider bars I was GOING to use because no one could sufficiently help me get them to work.

 

I will try both using the scriptaculous AJAX and removing scriptaculous, because it might be an issue with using 2 different AJAX libraries.
