Dan Delaney <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|WORKSFORME | --- Comment #5 from Dan Delaney <[email protected]> 2011-03-08 18:25:22 UTC --- It happened again on a different Wikipedia page, and now I know how to recreate it at will in all browsers. I clicked on a link on one Wikipedia page that took me to this URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Fuller_(social_epistemologist) Notice the one common factor with the URL I submitted this bug with: the parentheses So check this out. This happens in Firefox, Safari, and IE: The page displays CORRECTLY if you enter that URL with the parentheses URL-ENCODED, as in "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Fuller_%28social_epistemologist%29";. BUT, put it in with the parentheses as literal characters, as in "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Fuller_(social_epistemologist)", and the page does NOT display correctly. What happens is a slew of Javascript errors. Here are the errors displayed by IE7: Runtime error: Line 11: 'mw' is undefined Runtime error: Line 10: 'jQuery' is undefined Runtime error: Line 2: Object expected Runtime error: Line 28: 'jQuery' is undefined Runtime error: Line 159: 'mediaWiki' is undefined Runtime error: Line 184: Object doesn't support this property or method Runtime error: Line 1047: Object expected Runtime error: Line 572: Object doesn't support this property or method And here are the errors displayed in Firefox error console: Error: mw is not defined, Line: 11 Source File: http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/common/mwsuggest.js?283-19 Error: jQuery is not defined, Line: 22 Source File: http://bits.wikimedia.org/w/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/js/plugins.combined.min.js?283-19 Error: $j is not defined, Line: 2 Source File: http://bits.wikimedia.org/w/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/Vector/Vector.combined.min.js?283-19 Error: jQuery is not defined, Line: 112 Source File: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:BannerController&cache=/cn.js&283-19 Error: mediaWiki is not defined, Line: 159 Source File: http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/common/wikibits.js?283-19 Error: jQuery is not defined, Line: 1047 Source File: http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/common/wikibits.js?283-19 And here's what we get in the Safari error console: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found), bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/vector/main-ltr.css?283-19 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found), bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/common/jquery.min.js?283-19 ReferenceError: Can't find variable: mw, bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/common/mwsuggest.js?283-19:11 ReferenceError: Can't find variable: jQuery, bits.wikimedia.org/w/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/js/plugins.combined.min.js?283-19:22 ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $j, bits.wikimedia.org/w/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/Vector/Vector.combined.min.js?283-19:2 ReferenceError: Can't find variable: jQuery, /w/index.php?title=Special:BannerController&cache=/cn.js&283-19:112 ReferenceError: Can't find variable: mediaWiki, bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/common/wikibits.js?283-19:159 ReferenceError: Can't find variable: jQuery, bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/common/wikibits.js?283-19:1047 (Thank you Firefox and Safari developers for letting us know what FILE the line errors are occurring in! Would that the IE devs had been so considerate.) --Dan -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
