I am using the prototype 'new Ajax.Request' object for a simple data retrieval operation. Works fine. To tell the user what is going on (the retrieval takes a second or 2), i stuck a simple window popup (that says 'wait..') right before the request and then just closed it when the request completes.
I have tried a few different ways to generate the popup - 1 - using the std window.open to open an empty window and then writing the message w/ document.write 2 - using the std window.open to open a url containing the message 3 - using some code that uses the prototype extend. It does not matter: whatever I use causes the following to occur: 1 - the popup is transparent and does not contain the text it is supposed to 2 - when the popup closes I get the following javascript error in Firefox 1.5.0.11 Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIObserverService.removeObserver]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/browser.js :: BrowserShutdown :: line 869" data: no] Works fine in IE 6 and Opera Any guidance on what is happening will be appreciated.
