Item11382: Javascript error with IE7 causes Format dropdown to fail on nested webs

Using Foswiki 1.1.3, IE7 browser To reproduce: Try to edit a page in a nested web (e.g. I created one called Main.Test where I can reproduce this at will) The Format dropdown at the top of the editor does not seem to fire updates when you change its value (normally, changing the format changes the look of the text at the caret). IE reports a Javascript error as follows when loading the edit screen:

---

Line: 6 Char: 1690 Error: This name may not contain the '/' character.

autosaveMain-->/<--Test.WebHome Code: 0 URL: http://[hostname]/bin/edit/Main/Test/WebHome?t=1324495423

---

The same edit of an identical page on a "top-level" web works fine.

Hi Eric,

Firstly, what version of TinyMCEPlugin? Could you please try upgrading?

Secondly, if that doesn't cure the problem, try disabling autosave plugin, do something like this in your Main.SitePreferences:

   * Set TINYMCEPLUGIN_MCEPLUGINS = contextmenu, table, searchreplace, paste, legacyoutput, inlinepopups, fullscreen, foswiki, foswikibuttons, foswikiimage

Confirmed in 1.1.4, probably earlier too.

I think this bug was IE7-only. Reproduced in IE7, not IE8. Didn't have IE9 to test, but reading the code, IE9 has a different localstorage save strategy anyway.

Eric, I released a new version of TinyMCEPlugin that should fix this bug. Please upgrade and let us know if that fixes the problem.

Paul, That did the trick. Works fine in IE7. Thanks!

Thanks for a great bug report, and letting us know the fix worked!
