Trying to post a new story but am getting error message

[Guest OpenPage]

Hi,

I am new to adultfanfiction.org and am trying to post the first chapter of my first story.

When I get to the page which ask me to enter the story name etc.it is saying on the bottom left of my screen "Done, but with errors on page" and the error message is

'ie' is undefined

userpanel.php

Code: 0

URI: http://tv.adult-fanfiction.org/userpanel.php?add

but I can enter the title, summary etc. okay.

I then choose to format my text in the Text Area option. I enter the security words and press next.

A page loads and there are all the correct tabs on the top of the page but I still have an error at the bottom of my screen which says "Error on page" and the error message is

'ie' is undefinded

userpanel.php

scripterror

ckeditor.js

Code: 0

URI: http://tv.adult-fanfiction.org/checkeditor/checkeditor.js

There are two blank columns, the second one says First Chapter but there is nowhere to copy or type in any text.

I have attached a screen dump for you.

Please help!

Thanks

Are you using Internet Explorer 10 as your browser?

If so, please read this.

Oops, should have put that in my post. No, IE 8

You still need to change the mode in your browser. F12 should still access developer tools, and then change it from whatever it's showing to "standard"

[Guest OpenPage]

Do you mean the Document Mode? Because it is showing as Internet Explorer 8 Standards (Default) or do I have to change it somewhere else?

[DemonGoddess]

Okay, starting at the beginning, because as you're running windows, what version are you running? Vista or greater, you winupdate will have updated IE to 10 or later.

If so, then you change it to IE 9 Standards, and IE 9 Document mode.

I am running Windows XP Professional Version 5.1 with service pack 3

I don't know that I'll be able to go backwards compatible to IE 8 or not. Theoretically, with the settings I have for loading the editor, you SHOULD be able to. However, testing in different modes for myself, it only looks to be working correctly in IE 9 or higher, standard docs mode. As I'm running Win 7, the OS itself won't actually let me install a lesser version of the browser so I can test further.

Your best bet at this point is to use any other browser than Internet Explorer. The editor works in all the rest without any problems.

[Guest OpenPage]

Okay, I'll have a think about it. It's a bit of a shame as I have no probs posting my stories on other websites. Thanks for all your help

[DemonGoddess]

The only other thing I can think of, is to possibly use Alt+5 when you open the edit window. If that doesn't work, I am stumped.

Just in case it helps anyone, I found it necessary to follow the guide for IE10 on my older unit running IE9 to upload a story. Thanks for the guide!

[DemonGoddess]

Unfortunately, the problem is for versions older than IE 9. IE 9 uses hardware acceleration features which are NOT supported by XP at all. I'm going to dig a bit more, and see if I can't find a way to overcome this incompatibility issue with the browser and the rte. So far, I've not been successful. Mind you, I don't encounter these issues with ANY other browser. Only IE.

[Melrick]

So if people possibly needed a reason to switch browsers to a better one than IE (meaning, any other browser) then switch now! IE is the devil's handiwork.

What's really bad about all this, is when looking at Microsoft's help sites and communities, users are told to upgrade their OS so they can use a "modern browser". Mind you, all the OTHER "modern browsers" work just FINE on XP.

Developers, on the other hand, are told to pretty much break their sites for all the other browsers, so it's compatible to IE. Not happening.....
