I've not reported this to the SF email help addy as I'm sure it's a fault with my system.

Once every minute or so I get an alert box popping up informing me of an error at...

Line: 49
Error:'StoryTitle[...]'is null or not an object.

If I don't close the box within a few keystrokes, a debugger opens, highlighting the offending line. On closing it, it promptly closes my SF pages. Which is a real bummer.

It also occurs when I'm accessing files on a couple of other sites.

Anyone any ideas?

I've not had any trouble, has anyone else?

Not at all.

Maybe it is your, or work pc perhaps ?

you have visual studio installed right? ;) thats another plus point for firefox, it doesn't do this...

anyways, I believe you can go into visual studio and switch of the debugging option, cant think of where it is off hand but there is a way :)

think theres also an option in IE for it too..

[edit]
ok go into internet explorer, go to tools >> options
select the "advanced tab"

your looking for "Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)" make sure its ticked :) and possibly the other one below it about scrip debugging other!... save... close internet explorers, try again, hopefully it wont happen now :)

As the perpetrator of the code behind the sfticker, I'll keep an eye on my 'test' version and see what's happening with it.

Thanks for the heads up - I can see where in the code that error might come from, but I can't imagine how it might happen! :)

Cheers, all. Have disabled script debugging, but the problem seemed to have stopped this morning. I presume Joe had a fiddle (oo-er).

Hi Ant,

No fiddle was committed! Seriously, have no idea what the problem was. I'm doing some mods over the next day or so so I'll try and reproduce the problem for then and fix it.

Clearly the code pixies took a look whilst we slept and fixed it all! :)

Xafier - I hate to be pedantic but this will only disable the debugger. If there was a problem with the code the error would remain, you just wouldnt see the debugger?!

The bgcolor of the ticker should be set explicitly to white as it looks a mess on PCs with a windows background colour that isn't white.

The Javascript issue is being fixed as I type (hopefully).

We fixed the bgcolor thing once before, but it was reset when we upgraded the ticker to allow moderators to add stories - the good news is that it's updated every day now.

well, I assumed he wasn't wanting people to debug the code for Geoff and that he just wanted to disable the debugger, because it will happen on other sites too, and I know how annoying it is because it used to happen to me... I have enough problems debugging my own programs let alone other peoples javascript when I visit their site... lol
