js error?

-- ArthurClemens - 25 Nov 2010

nope - no complaints from the browser.

-- SvenDowideit - 26 Nov 2010

Confirmed.

The buttons do nothing.

I have tested Release01x01 branch and latest Firefox on Windows.

I see plenty of errors in Firefox. Just looking at rename screen I get...

These errors look like CSS errors. They won't stop the page from working.

thing is, the page has stopped working.

It is not a js bug. The required js is just not loaded. In Release01x00 there was the file foswiki_renamebase.js with this contents:

/**
Checks/unchecks all checkboxes in form inForm.
*/
function checkAll(inForm, inState) {
   // find button element index
   if (inForm == undefined) return;
   var i, j = 0;
   for (i = 0; i < inForm.length; ++i) {
      if (inForm.elements[i].name.match("referring_topics")) {
         inForm.elements[i].checked = inState;
      }
   }
}

Somehow this file is not loaded, the supposedly generated file foswiki_renamebase.js is not in MANIFEST and most likely this file has disappeared from the rename templates.
