Scriptacolous unusable on Firefox 3 with XHTML 1.1 document

Reported by Urd | August 1st, 2008 @ 06:31 PM

I am trying to get lightbox to work on an XHTML 1.1 conform document, but it isn't working because Firefox 3 refuses to load scriptaculous.

In the error console I find two errors. 1 refering directly to scriptaculous, the other being a result of scriptaculous not loading.

The errors are:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Operation is not supported" code: "9" nsresult: "0x80530009 (NS_ERROR_DOM_NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR)" location: "http://js/scriptaculous.js Line: 30"]

and

Error: Builder is not defined

Source: http:///js/lightbox.js

Line: 132

I'm using the latest versions available of Prototype, scriptaculous and lightbox.

    We're not supporting XHTML 1.1 when served as XML, although I'd would welcome a patch that makes things work (if the patch isn't too invasive). Try serving as text/html.

    Actually I just pushed a patch that (possibly) fixes this, please see #95.
