When I attempt to preview a reply to a thread ((
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=61727) this one), I get an error dialog box with the following text:
A RuntimeError has occurred.
Do you wish to debug?
Line: 48
Error" 'spoiler_text' is undefinedwith options
Yes and
No.
Selecting
Yes gives another message, indicating that no debugging tool is available (I an in an internet cafe, so this does not surprise me).
Selecting
No does not appear to have any adverse effects (although the box returns fairly quickly), but it should be noted that I am not using either type of spoiler tags. The message does not seem to appear when initially typing (as opposed to previewing) a reply. The reply itself does not appear to have been affected.
This may be due to the fact that I am using an internet cafe, but I have not encountered this error while making other posts from here, and I believe the forums have recently been upgraded to version 2.2.9.
There does not appear to be anything relevent to spoiler text on line 48 of the page source, but my understanding of the forum software is that the HTML page is generated by a PHP script, so this is understandable.
The browser used appears to be Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0.2600.0000.
I get no such errors while typing or previewing this message.
EDIT: It seems that the error can occur when replying without previewing, and it also appeared while editing this post.

How odd... :confused:
I can't reproduce the error to try and investigate, anyone else seen this wackiness happen?

Have you tried the IE repair function - just an idea ;)

Ooooohhkay, I just realized what the problem was and have corrected it (I hope). Please let me know if there are any further problems.
(though for anyone who did receive the error, be sure to do a full refresh so that the new/updated vbcode_language.js file is downloaded and that you're not using the old file in your browser cache) :)

Just FYI, some of the MS Visual Studio components are the cause of this 'Debug' dialog. Most people won't have this installed, so it's not going to be a problem.

Edit: When I say the 'cause' I mean 'that's what causes the dialog to be shown'... the actual cause is an error in the webpage somewhere. :D

Yes now that you mention that the Script Debug Program that comes with the Office Professional caused me this problem to no end - so I uninstalled it!

Agreed on the MS "debugging" tools.. what a pain those are!
But FYI - in this case, the actual cause of the error was the fact that the vbcode_language.js file (that I had modified in order to have the instant spoiler code button) got overwritten with the forums upgrade, so I had to modify the new file to include the info that the rest of the page was looking for. :)
