Item13831: JS error in System.LanguageSelector

Repo

• Enable UI languages
• go to LanguageSelector
• try change a language
• the language doesn't change
• and in the console.log is the following error

TypeError: document.changeLanguage.submit is not a function. (In 'document.changeLanguage.submit()', 'document.changeLanguage.submit' is undefined)
onchangeLanguageSelector:194

Note:

• changing languages in other topics doesn't affected (AFIK)
• changing language with disabled javascript works in the LanguageSelector topic.

Also, the topic parent is TimeSpecifications - probably wrong, the language selector isn't time-related thingy..

I think that the issue is the language selector can only be created once on a page. If it's already in the top bar, a 2nd selector isn't needed. I think we can just disable the "demonstration" include on the page, and treat it as documentation only.

There definitely is room for optimization.

-- MichaelDaum - 12 Apr 2016

The latest version breaks the HTML validation tests, and fails to render the selection list. Need to defer expansion of the include. Reopening.

This error still persists in 2.1.3. Fixes have not been merged to the release branch.

Cannot merge from master -> Release. Need to cherry pick. Fixes committed into the wrong branch initially.
