I am using the prototype ''new Ajax.Request'' object for a
simple data
retrieval operation. Works fine. To tell the user what is going on
(the retrieval takes a second or 2), i stuck a simple window popup
(that says ''wait..'') right before the request and then just
closed it
when the request completes.
I have tried a few different ways to generate the popup -
1 - using the std window.open to open an empty window and then writing
the message w/ document.write
2 - using the std window.open to open a url containing the message
3 - using some code that uses the prototype extend.
It does not matter: whatever I use causes the following to occur:
1 - the popup is transparent and does not contain the text it is
supposed to
2 - when the popup closes I get the following javascript error in
Firefox 1.5.0.11
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure
code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)
[nsIObserverService.removeObserver]" nsresult: "0x80004005
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame ::
chrome://browser/content/browser.js
:: BrowserShutdown :: line 869" data: no]
Works fine in IE 6 and Opera
Any guidance on what is happening will be appreciated. Thanks!
