done but with errors on page

i use firefox... I saw your new template and had to use it... I installed the quickstart and started enjoying fiddling with all the cool stuff in it.

i then vired the site using IE and got a message like this:

(the message below is the error message i see when i view your demo page in IE!)

$this.slides[...]slide'is null or not an object.
gk_imageshow.js
Code:0
URL: http://demo.gavick.com/joomla15/0ct2020 ... ge_show.js

is there a way around this or is this just my version of IE doing this?
thanks
Steve

Hi

I have no idea. I'm sending this to our programmer.

I've checked it on IE7/IE8 and in IE8 in compatibility mode - the problem doesn't happen.

Seems like this happens in some browsers and not others. For instance, I am using IE8 on Vista and this forum shows the triangular symbol in the status bar at the bottom and says "Done, but with errors on page." When you click on the symbol it shows the errror as:

User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; BRI/1; .NET4.0C)

In the case of the above example for this forum, the error doesn't appear to affect the performance of this page. However, the error that appears when the demo and the quickstart of this template loads, it affects the performance of the main slideshow. Until the page is reloaded (not refreshed) the slideshow does not change... it stalls on the first slide.

Here is the message for that error:

As I said, once the page is reloaded by either going to another page and coming back or simply clicking home on the menu, the problem is gone. If the page is refreshed however, the error will appear again.

Hi

So I think that the problem is a conflict with some 3rd party components. Sorry but my JavaScript skill is not enought with this problem. Please unpublish module after module, plugin after plugin till the error dissapears. This way You will be sure what is causing it.

This problem seems directly related to whether the mootools upgrade is enabled from Extensions / Plugins / Mootools upgrade. On a quickinstall however, i did not have this problem.

On a customer install where this is default / Disabled, you may notice a variety of errors and several users have reported them on this forum. Personally on my Wamp installation the Photoslide outright doesnt work, with the identical 'Slides' variable JS error piped to the browser.
---
Long story short enabling mootools upgrade seems to fix the problem, and with some analysis on this exact issue you may be able to fix it so it wont require the upgrade.
---
This is a wonderful template and I think this particular photoslide implementation is the best yet, so i really support working towards more presentations like this. It really goes head to head if not exceeds the other slideshow tools on the market.
------
PS. I have tested this error on a fresh install (not quickinstall but template install from a clean joomla 1.5 install), and the problem occurs.

So this rules out third party plugins in my opinion.
