Everyone seems to have missed a solid point on this ...
The scripts are loded localhost:4402 and the server= localhost:8080 Thats an XDR as the ports differ ... Perhaps 3.5.5 has some different security protocol in place that wont allow it but earlier did Alex Mcauley http://www.thevacancymarket.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "joe t." <thooke...@gmail.com> To: "Prototype & script.aculo.us" <prototype-scriptaculous@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sunday, December 13, 2009 1:49 AM Subject: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Autocompleter does not work in FireFox 3.5.5 Uhhhh, right, sure, yeah, of COURSE i saw that... (didn't). i tend to agree with you on [not] placing the active script block at the end of the document and trusting it to work 100% of the time. Like you, i haven't seen any hard data on why NOT to, but just don't fully trust it. i don't see any obvious reason the script would be failing. Tracing back #clearWhitespace from Prototype, it only occurs in Autocompleter in the #onComplete callback. i don't use the class that much, so i'm not the best one to ask. i just happened across your initial response in my digest email. :O Sorry i couldn't be more help on this one. -joe t.
