One of us is crazy here. If I'm not wrong console.log belongs to firebug. Which means you will get a javascript error on ALL browsers which do not have firebug installed and running. -Nischal On May 19, 11:41 pm, Dan Webb d...@twitter.com wrote: On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 11:27 AM, Steve C

I think throw() seems more appropriate. Firebug and WebKit-based browsers will work with console.log(). A javascript error for an undefined function would still be better than an alert(). Larry On May 19, 12:03 pm, nischalshetty nischalshett...@gmail.com wrote: One of us is crazy here. If I'm

Any update on this? I'm getting it on a site for certain users/ browsers even though it's all configured correctly as well. The alerts are very intrusive for a production website when things are configured correctly. Especially with user emails rolling in complaining about getting the error.

Are we really talking about incorrect installations here? Twitter's own @Anywhere documentation page (http://dev.twitter.com/anywhere/ begin) is throwing this same error in older browsers, including Chrome 3.0.195. On May 15, 6:26 pm, Abraham Williams 4bra...@gmail.com wrote: I agree that

Our site has been running @anywhere for over a week now without error. Yesterday my coworker was getting the alert(). He is running an older version of Firefox (3.0.8) on Ubuntu, so there might be another cause other than missing clientID or version? I still believe alert() is intrusive,

I agree that @Anywhere should degrade gracefully when configured properly on unsupported platforms and not prompt incorrect alert()s. But I do think alert()s are probably the best way to notify developers of incorrect installations. Abraham On Sat, May 15, 2010 at 11:55, Larry la...@topsy.com

Firefox 3.X is a supported browser for @anywhere and my example is properly configured, yet it triggered when it wasn't supposed to. This highlights my point of why alert() not a good choice for notification of incorrect installations. Instead maybe it should use throw(). That would be more useful
