When I click on a thread, it gives me some kind of VBS error. Is this happening to anyone else?

If you actually have details, it might help to drop it in my mailbox so I can find and fix the error. As currently all I'm seeing is HTTP 1.1 500 Server Error (and Mozilla usually gives more information, but it presently isn't doing so).

I get This info in Firefox

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: '[string: ""]'

/asp/forum_posts.asp, line 171

I'm able to get on without any errors.

Thunderbird, they're running IIS, which is spitting out its own error message, which is just as uninformative as the standard IE "500 Internal Server Error" message.

Ditto in Mozilla 1.7.1. It seems that someone is mucking with the forum. IE gets through because it ignores whatever has been changed.

Or more likely, the forum doesnt get the bug because the bad string is probably a browsermatch string and:
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"
gets through, but something else like:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.1) Gecko/20040707"
or
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2"
breaks it.

I'll take a look at it after work today. Which will be a wait for at least 4 more hours, so you'll just have to use IE for now or wait

.

/me goes back to ASP.NET coding.

This is the line the error is referring to:

If Request.Cookies("LoggedIn")=1 Then

This is a new cookie, which you might not have set (it sets itself upon login. My first suggestion is to log out and log back in on PD.

Yeah, but some of us haven't registered.

(namely me)

Install prefs bar in mozilla and fake your browser id.

MD-2389 · Post by **MD-2389** » Wed Aug 25, 2004 9:29 pm

Oh, I already know how to fake my browser ID, but its a PITA for those that don't know how to. Thats why I kinda want the issue to be fixed for those that don't have an account and use browsers other than IE.

SSX-Thunderbird · Post by **SSX-Thunderbird** » Wed Aug 25, 2004 11:38 pm

What I'm curious is why this error only appears for Mozilla. It's a SERVER error for crying out loud.

(EDIT)All errors have been tracked down and corrected. Or so I'd like to think. Cookie to whoever spots the error (from the line I posted, it was the same error for every instance).

MD-2389 · Post by **MD-2389** » Thu Aug 26, 2004 1:22 pm

Well, the VBS script error doesn't appear anymore. Now all I get is:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '='.

/asp/db.asp, line 37

Krom · Post by **Krom** » Thu Aug 26, 2004 1:49 pm

And I still cant edit my posts there. It is not the cookie because I logged out, deleted the cookie, logged back in and tried other browsers as well.

Stryker · Post by **Stryker** » Thu Aug 26, 2004 3:34 pm

I'm using mozilla, and things seem to work fine for me--except the edit button.

KompresZor · Post by **KompresZor** » Thu Aug 26, 2004 6:03 pm

this is what I get...
edit:
Mozilla 1.7.2
In IE it works fine
/edit

If SQL errors come up, it might help to post the page you were trying to access (all SQL queries are done in a single file).

I've hit both those errors. The SQL error was erroring for those who weren't registered, and the edit issue (which affected moderators as well) was a result of me comparing variables of different types (oops).

DCrazy · Post by **DCrazy** » Thu Aug 26, 2004 7:07 pm

Pfft... VBScript sometimes gives the infamous Run Time Error 13 - Type Mismatch when you compare variables of the same type. Ugh.

SSX-Thunderbird · Post by **SSX-Thunderbird** » Thu Aug 26, 2004 7:15 pm

They're all Variants, actually (no type is specified upon declaration), but evidently if the internal type is different, then an equal check returns false. The stored ID for the post creator is pulled as an Integer, but the default type for cookie reads is String.

DCrazy · Post by **DCrazy** » Thu Aug 26, 2004 7:19 pm

Well, that's easy enough to fix. What's ludicrous is using VBA in Access and being required to cast two Currency types to Double in order to compare. WTF?! I don't think VB can make up its mind between strong-typed and loose-typed.

KompresZor · Post by **KompresZor** » Thu Aug 26, 2004 7:23 pm

i was getting the error on the main froum index page
http://www.planetdescent.com/asp/forum_index.asp?
Now that page is working, but...
I get the same error now if i try to open any of the forums, yes I tried them all

The difference is that on the index.asp page I got the standard plane white error page. Now when I try to open a forum the error is in the table where the forum should be.

If you would like I can get you a screenshot

Boo · Post by **Boo** » Mon Aug 30, 2004 4:04 pm

It's funny, because I was in IE. o_0 works now anyway
