[ZendTo] Re: FW: Issue with Chrome browser - "Leave this Page"

[John Webber (NBI)]

Hi Jules,

Thanks for the pointer.

I have made, and tested, the change you suggest below - it all seems to work correctly, thanks.

Please can you keep me posted about whether this issue will be solved fully, instead of just the quick fix / workaround below.

Thanks
John

I've got a quick fix for this. Unfortunately it means you can navigate away from (and hence abort) a running upload, but it stops the Chrome warning, so is better than nothing.

You want to edit /opt/zendto/templates/new_dropoff.tpl

Find the start of the "submitform" function, and add the last line of this little code snippet:

<script type="text/javascript">
function submitform() {
  if (validateForm()) {
    window.onbeforeunload=function(){}

I'm still working on a decent fix to this. Once it's sorted, I'll release a new version and announce it on the mailing list.

Hi,

I have investigated the issue below and found that it effects the latest version of Chrome.

We have tested this scenario with Chrome "Version 30.0.1599.101 m", and found that it functions without any problems.  However, when we attempt to drop off a file using Chrome "Version 31.0.1650.57 m", we see the issue below.

The issue seems to be that clicking the button to trigger a drop off (templates/new_dropoff.tpl) triggers sets the "ignore_unload" to false earlier than it should and therefore the function "doBeforeUnload()" returns the "unload_msg".

Please can you advice how we can work around this issue.

Thanks
John

Hi,

We have encountered an issue with the Chrome using ZendTo and would appreciate your advice.

Once we have entered the recipient of the file and chosen the file to send, when I click to the button to drop off the files, I see the following error dialog box, but only on the Chrome:

"Confirm Navigation.  If you leave this page, you will abandon this drop-off.  Are you sure you want to leave this page?"

The two options available are:
"Leave this Page"  or   "Stay on this Page".

If I select to stay on the page, the upload does not start, although the uploading image does appear!  If I select to leave the page, it works normally.  Please can you advise how I can correct this issue.

Thanks
John
