For unrelated reasons I upgraded my Win10 box (Home edition) from 1809 to the latest 1909 version, and thought I'd give this another try. I started getting intermittent errors when trying to open items under JHS' help menu.
I run AdBlocker Ultimate -- I went into the "..." menu, Extensions, turned off AdBlocker from there, and restarted Edge. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem since. Note that just disabling it for the jijx page itself didn't help -- the entire extension had to be disabled. Also, I don't run any other extensions. (In case the problem is related to extensions in general, rather than an ad blocker specifically). Some other observations: - For me the problem was intermittent, but often (about a 50:50 hit). - The error message appears unrelated to whatever is going on. (I received a "The object invoked has disconnected from its clients" error at least once, in addition to the errors you reported). - It might be sensitive to timing. I found putting a breakpoint on the window.open(a,a) line always seemed to work once I let the javascript continue. - I tried isolating linkclick() in a simple web page, but was unable to reproduce the problem there. /K > On Nov 23, 2019, at 9:51 AM, Raul Miller <[email protected]> wrote: > > (I'm not quite sure which forum is right for this kind of issue...) > > I've installed j 9 on a windows 10 system. > > Under microsoft edge, most of the Help menu entries are failing for > me, with popup notifications like: > > ev_helpwikijhs_click failed: Error: Not implemented > or > ev_helpwikinuvoc_click failed: Error: No such interface supported > > If I enable script debugging, and enable breakpoints on caught > exceptions, I see that both errors happen on window.open(a,a) (line > 1202 of jijx). > > So... this is an edge issue and possibly a configuration issue.
