I usually use IE with Hastymail2 (RC8). I have found the TinyMCE plugin very useful, and the drop down lists (for e.g. Show "Unread messages" on mailbox page) very useful.
However, I am now using Firefox Portable 3.5.7. Neither of the above work - and a few other bits. I suspect Javascript is broken somewhere in Firefox, but I haven't a clue where. (Yes, it is enabled in Options > Content!)
If anyone has any idea what may be going on, or needs more information to try to fix this, I would be very grateful. It is certainly unusual for IE6 to beat Firefox 3!!!
Thanks,
Alan
I use Firefox with Hastymail all the time without issue, however I am unfamiliar with "Firefox Portable". It certainly sounds like javascript is broken in the browser since the features you are describing require it in order to function. Does this browser have an error console? (normally in firefox this is under the tools menu). Maybe it can supply a clue as to what is going wrong.
Thanks for the feedback,
Jason
Jason,
Thanks for the suggestion - I don't know whether it would have any effect, but loading the compose page in Firefox Portable as above creates a log in the Error Console:
document.write is not a function
http://server.com/plugins/html_mail/tiny_mce/tiny_mce_gzip.js
Line 128
I think I remember something about document.write not being supported in XHTML Strict - can't remember exactly though since I'm not good at Javascript.
The second problem of the drop-down boxes not functioning doesn't generate any error messages in the console or any where else that I can think of. To be more specific: on a mailbox page, selecting "Show Unread Messages" causes "Filtering mailbox..." to be displayed at the top. Then nothing happens. The page isn't loading, the filtering message doesn't go away, nothing refreshes etc. It just sits.
I assume this is either a bit of code Firefox doesn't like (unlikely since you're using Firefox as I assumed you would ;-) ) or a setup in my Firefox - which is curious because other things work, and javascript clearly works. However, I know that the server setup works with IE.... Puzzled!
Any suggestions or questions gratefully received!
Thank you.
Meant to say about Firefox portable: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
It is simply a firefox installation that has a wrapper app to redirect everything so that it can exist on a USB stick with no registry or system entries. They do this for all sorts of programs.
Maybe that is the problem, but Javascript is obviously functioning at some level.
Thanks
