Conflict with effects.js?

[plusbryan]

Hi, Bryan of likebetter.com here. We've been toying with the idea of using your widget on our site, as it would cut down on a lot of dev time for something we were planning on scripting ourselves.

However, in testing the feature on our site in IE, we run into a problem. It seems that, when the abc_launcher.js file is loaded, a conflict of some sort occurs between it and our effects.js file.

The exact error is: Object does not support the property or method.

This does not happen in Firefox.

Any ideas? We were hoping to roll this out right away.

Yup - we have the EXACT same problem, and narrowed it down to this file:

http://www.plaxo.com/css/m/js/abc_launcher.js

Steps to reproduce:

Open IE 7

Go here: http://www.gozong.com/photo/display/venues/69

At the top of the page, try hitting the "change location" tab - which calls:

javascript:Effect.toggle('slidelocation','appear') ;

OR

Under the large photo hit the "email it to your friends!" bar - which calls:

javascript:Effect.toggle('slidemailit','slide');

OR

Under the large photo hit the "put it on your myspace.com profile!" bar - which calls:

javascript:Effect.toggle('slidemyspace','slide');

All these calls work perfectly in Firefox, but they are conflicting with IE 6 and 7.

We are going to pull the address book off for now (darn) but once this bug gets addressed we will be adding it back in.

I'm checking with engineering on this one....

Hi either PlusBryan or Calderson,

From engineering:
--
Hmm, I believe them, but I’m unable to reproduce the error with the link below. If they can give me a page that is breaking, I can see what on our end might be causing it…

Either of you could send us a link - either by responding to this post or private message to me - then we'll take a look.

Thanks,

Kathy

send me an email and I will send you some screenshots & code. I don't want to publish the problem to production (for obvious reasons) but am willing to help debug.

Hello,

I have the same problem with IE6. The strange thing is that for certain divs it works and for others it doesn't.

Did someone find a solution for this?

Thanks.
