I see errors from IE 6 when including versions 1.5.0_rc0, 1.5.1 or
1.6.0_rc0 in my html page. Of course the IE error line counting starts
at 2, but that aside, should it be the case that including Prototypes
in a html should NOT give any javascript errors in IE 6?? Am I asking
for too much?
The point is that I need to debug a slew of Javascript issues in IE6
and if I cant even get a clean page (no errors) how can I begin to fix
any problems?
Here are some errors:
line 412 character 17 Expected '')''
Here is line 411 of prototype.js (version 1.6.0_rc0):
if (!Object.isArray(hash[key])) hash[key] = [hash[key]];
character 17 is "j" or the "a" in Array (excluding leading
spaces)
Line 300 character 17 Exprected '')''
Here is line 300:
if (hash[key].constructor != Array) hash[key] = [hash[key]];
Line 239 character 39 Unexpected quantifier
Here is line 238:
Template.Pattern = /(^|.|\r|\n)(#\{(.*?)\})/;
perhaps the ? is character 39?
Here is the HTML I''m using:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type"
content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<title>MyBup!</title>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="/javascripts/prototype.js"></
script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
these are just the beginning, once I start adding code I see more
errors with my code calling Prototype''s Element.show method...

Hi,
I grabbed the trunk, I see similar errors as before (noted in the
comments below, "IE 6 Error..."):
<!-- IE 6 Error: line 195 of prototype-trunk.js "unexpected
quantifier" -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/prototype-
trunk.js"></script>
If I ignore the "unexpected quantifier error" I see these errors
attempting to hide a div:
<script type="text/javascript">
Element.hide($(''mainbox'')); // IE 6 error: Element
undefined
$(''mainbox'').hide(); // IE 6 error: object expected
</script>
How can this be??
------------FYI Here is the entire HTML doc:-----------
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type"
content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<title>MyBup!</title>
<!-- IE 6 Error: line 195 of prototype-trunk.js "unexpected
quantifier" -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/prototype-
trunk.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="mainbox" >
Hello Mike
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
Element.hide($(''mainbox'')); // IE 6 error: Element
undefined
$(''mainbox'').hide(); // IE 6 error: object expected
</script>
</body>
</html>

Don''t know what you are doing wrong Mike, But I''m running trunk successfully in IE6 here. You errors probably come from the fact that you are attempting to hide the elements before they have been loaded in the dom. Make sure you use window.onload or put an inline script *after* the element you want to hide.

Hi, OK, well, I am apparently using IE 5! I remember this particular virtual machine I did not upgrade IE. Can you tell me if its true that more or less we (as developers) should not worry about supporting IE 5 (in general) for a public facing website?
