I managed to have the installation of the trial version done on a clean DNN 4.5.5. After adding the module onto the page, it appears to have some javascript error at the left bottom of the page.

"Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus"

Any idea?

Compression on pages? Whitespace filtering? I've not seen this error before in any case.

I tried in FireFox, it looks OKay. The javascript error only appears in IE 6.0. Thanks.

It should work just fine in IE (6 or 7). I'll keep an eye out for this error. For now I can't do anything as I can't replicate this.

I have the same error - isolated to when DMX4 is loaded onto a page

ie 7.0.5730.11

An error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line: 2
Char: 40970 Error: Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or
of a type that does not accept the focus.
Code: 0
URL: http://...../default.aspx


I can't be sure, but I believe it appeared after running one of the embedded scripts in DMS - insert base folder, prepare portal

Hi Craig,
Did it have any effect on the functionality? I'm trying to track this one down, but I'm not sure where it's hiding. Thanks for the hint by the way.

Peter, I believe Chhavi has contacted you on this as well (we're about to roll back from DMX4 to DMX3 because the javascript error renders DMX powerless, but it has to do (at least in our case), with child portals.  It wasn't like this before we were on  DMX4.0.1, but when we went to DMX 4.0.6 patch that we ran into all this. Its causing DMX not to properly load on our child portals, which makes the product useless on those portals. fyi..we're running DNN4.5.5 as well.

Sorry, my previous post might be unclear, let me try again. We didn't seem to have any problem with DMX4.0.1 (although I don't think we tried it on child portals). We upgraded our live environment (which unfortunately is an intranet so we can't get you access), and applied 4.0.6. Now, DMX does not work properly in our child portals, so we are looking at rolling back to DMX3.

WhenDMX tries to load in our child portals, we get the above javascript message, the stylesheet isn't applied, and therefore the UI is a mess (ex. the dropdown menus are behind the folder names, etc...) and unacceptable for usage.

The error may not be the root cause, I'm not sure.

Hi Peter,

This error is still present even with 4.01 RC4. Whitespace filter OFF. I had GZip Compression, but turned that off to test. Same result. However, I am not seeing any obvious side effects as the above users have seen.

I haven't been able to determine how to produce this reliably. If I refresh a page it goes away. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know.
@Phil: I cannot imagine css loading depends on this. It sounds like another issue to me. Let me know how things go.

I am also getting a Javascript error everytime I add the DMX module to the page.

In IE 7 the error is being reported as, "Sys.UI.DomEvent is null or not an object".

In IE 6 the error is being reported as "Sys.Application is null or not an object".

Haven't updated to the latest patch but I hope today.

Thanks,

Stuart

This is caused by the 'old' ComponentArt controls suite on an Ajax enabled installation. Recent versions of DMX carry a newer version of this.

Hi Peter,

Some further info on this. Aside from the persistent error listed above, I have also found that clicking around on various folders can cause another, more intrusive error.

The right side grid area goes into an endless loop attempting to refresh (the rotating arrows just keeps rotating). When this happens, another page error occurs which says:

Error: 'Grid1' is null or not an object"
Code: 0

Also, it seems this occurs most often (maybe exclusively) to non-admin users. The only way to clear it is to refresh the page (or leave page and come back).

If I can gather any addtional information to help you, please let me know.

I am seeing a very similar error on DMX 4.02.02 and IE7 but not IE6

It can be seen on the demo site http://demo.bring2mind.ne...e/en-US/Default.aspx through IE7 (at least for me)

Regarding the 'eternal refresh' I can't see an easy solution. Ajax means the browser goes back to the server to get data. If something goes wrong there are not that many fallbacks. I have noticed that timing is an issue. When the callback has not completed and you do something else, it can go all screwy. And timing depends on you connection speed. So there is no one single solution that'll fit all. If something goes weird I refresh the page and normally all is good after that.

About the 'focus' error: I can't give that a high priority. Again it's most likely an Ajax timing issue. I can't properly debug it because the faulty code is somewhere deep in obfuscated code by the UI component manufacturer. There is also no fixed replicable set of actions to see it. So as long as this does not impede functionality I will leave it at that and hope the manufacturer fixes it one day.

Hi Benjamin,
The focus error: nothing yet.
The Sys.UI.DomEvent error: that was done a while back and should not appear in recent DMX installations.
