[ZendTo] Re: Chrome incompatibility

[Gray McCord]

Glad to be of assistanceŠ.

I want to also let everyone know that I have found a way to eliminate the
popup with a minor change to ³new_dropoff.tpl²

In my version (4.11), there¹s a javascript towards the bottom of the file
that looks like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function submitform() {
  if (validateForm()) {
    // scroll(0,0);
    document.fileupload.submit();
    ignore_unload = false;
  }
}
</script>

What I did was to change the ³ignore_unload² variable to ³true² and the
problem went away in Chrome.  Here¹s the bit of code that seems to be
generating the ³error² (in the same file, towards the top):

function doBeforeUnload() {
               if(ignore_unload) return; // Let the page unload

               if(window.event)
                      window.event.returnValue = unload_msg; // IE
               else
                      return unload_msg; // FF
        }

I¹m not a JS/DOM expert, but Chrome is apparently generating a
³window.event² when the form is submitted and others are not. I¹m sure there
are unintended consequences. Any thoughts on what they might be? Give it a
try and let me know what you find.

Cheers!

Gray

Try the "templates/main_menu.tpl" file.  You should be able to add something
there that will appear on the main page.

Good Luck!

I wanted to put a warning about Chrome on the main page, can't find the
correct file to edit to do this.  I'm still running ZendTo version 4.1.  Any
suggestions?

This is interesting. It first appeared on our user systems couple of weeks
ago. Then it stopped a few days later. Now it has started again as of the
Chrome update this weekend. Very frustrating...

Greetings -

Yes, we've started seeing this too. It's affecting people using Chrome on
either Apple Macs or Windows PCs. It's just recently started and is not
affecting other browsers, so clearly is related to a Chrome update.

As you say, the symptoms are:
1. Prepare a dropoff to upload
2. Click the Drop off Files button
In Chrome this now shows a warning that navigating away from the current
page will cancel the dropoff, and offers choices to stay on the page or
continue away.

In reality staying put causes nothing to happen, whilst navigating away
starts the dropoff uploading just fine.

Cheers,

Mike B.
