When I open http://www.milonic.com with FF. There are too many javascript warnings, most are like:



The undefined properties are: _I[xx], _gmi.pt, _bwC, $G.border, .. too many to list.

Shall we worry about the warnings?

The javascript warning in Firefox and Mozilla are a feature that was added about a year or 2 ago. The reason you see too many warning is because it is what it is shown when the Milonic's javascript is continously running.

I have that same problem because it make it harder for me to debug the website with the javascript console. I had to comment out the Milonic script to debug it or something.

Exactly where are you seeing these warnings? I just went in with FF and got no errors at all.

With the JavaScript Console...

Tools --> Web Development --> JavaScript Console

Well, I can't read enough to copy it and give an example here because it is generating too many warning message at once. It's like trying to read 500 pages textbook in 5 seconds.

Web Developer >> Options >> Javascript

turn on " Enabel strict Javascript warning"

Then you will be able to see all the warnings when visiting milonic site and opening the java console.

Well, I just got a pile of errors when going to another user site that was not working properly, so I have to ass-ume the console is working properly. However, going directly from there to Milonic home with the console still open I see no errors whatsoever.

Hi,

I just felt on this error, massive pile of warnings in FireFox . Here are a couple I copied for you.



You must have the "web developper" extension to see them and must activate the "Enable strict javascript warning" option.

Those "warnings" are not "errors". It does seem to affect the menu running but it should be something to work on because it could become a problem. Normaly, that's what warning mean, doesn't it? Moreover, when you try to correct other javascript in the page that has nothing to do with the menu, it's a pain because it goes more than hundred of warning.

I have this pile of warnings on any website, even Milonic.com, that has the menu on them and I don't get them anywhere else except for other kind of errors.

Does something has been done about it yet? just asking.

Best regards,
Mike

Assuming your site is still http://www.virtuelcom.com/, I just went there using the settings you described and got no errors at all. I did, however, get a pretty good pile on the Milonic site, so I know the extension is functioning properly.

hi,

that's normal, it beautyfull isn't it? I'm kidding.

I'm a resseller, I build websites and sell them. This version of the website has no milonic menu in it yet because we are rewriting the new version actually with one menu.

Just go on http://www.milonic.com or any websites that has Milonic menu in them in the list on milonic client's website. Actually, we have over 10 websites on our behalf with Milonic menu and they all do this behavior. But we find out only this week beause of anotehr problem on a web sites forced us to active the option and then we saw all those. At first, we thought we were having problems and then we found this thread and tried it on many other websites that has nothing to do with us.

Don't mistake me, they are not errors, they are warnings, and to see them, you must activate the right properties. But it does not seem to affect the good working of the menu.

Like I said in the previous mail and like others said (since I'm in the right thread), those are not default setting or Firefox. If you take FireFox as is and try it, you will never see them. It's for advanced developpers with the right extension plug-ins.

Also, when you move mouse over stuff and opening and closing menu, the list gets longer, so the warnings continues. It's not just at first load problem or a before initialization problem. At the same time, maybe it's nothing at all and that's the way Javascript go. I'm not going to investigate this problem since I'm not on the development team and we already have a big overhead on our on work.


Where is a screen shoot of error took directly from milonic website.





I hope by teaming together, we will be able to find where those lurky warning are coming from!

Cheers,
Mike

They are just warnings and nothing to worry about.

Most of them appear to be related to variables and objects that have not been pre-defined.

We don't pre-define variables in the menu in order to keep file sizes down. If we did, it would probably double the file sizes.

They are completely benign and can be ignored.

Andy
