shinokada · 2009-01-12 12:43:47

When I use verital PC with IE6 this page does not give any error.
http://www.balupton.com/sandbox/jquery_lightbox/

However with IE test ie6 gives error.

It seems some jquery codes gives error in IE tester.

Is this bug?

IE tester with IE 7 gives error as well.

Hi,

I just tested the page on XP with IE6 and I get the following js error after the page is downloaded :

Code:

Line: 4
Character: 1
Code: 0
Error Message: Syntax error
URL: http://www.balupton.com/sandbox/jquery_lightbox/

shinokada · 2009-01-13 08:00:45

Yes, that is what I got it as well. It seems some plugins, such as lightbox creates this error. If you browse jquery.org, you will see another kind of error as well.

fabrice · 2009-01-13 09:05:44

So, what is the exact problem with IETester ?

shinokada · 2009-01-13 10:26:37

When I use a virtual pc IE6, I don't get any error. But IE tester gives error.

fabrice · 2009-01-13 11:00:50

Well, looks like there is a problem because I have a script error when I am using IE6 on XP under my virtual machine :

Regarding my screenshot I get a javascript on the url you gave. Is it the same on your side ?

shinokada · 2009-01-13 11:03:05

Yes, that's it. So you think IE tester is working but the js has a script error?

fabrice · 2009-01-13 11:04:05

Yes ! if IE6 is generating a javascript error, IETester will generate a javascript error and that's ok. What's wrong ?

shinokada · 2009-01-13 11:08:01

I don't get the error message with virtual pc but only IE Tester.

fabrice · 2009-01-13 11:08:41

So, that's really strange. What is your os and exact ie version on your virtual machine ?

shinokada · 2009-01-13 11:09:31

I use IE6-XPSP3-Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. No error with this site.

shinokada · 2009-01-13 11:11:05

I use vista.
This IE6-XPSP3 is for specially IE 6 only and you can download from MS.

fabrice · 2009-01-13 11:13:08

So maybe it is an updated version of IE6, because I am using XP-IE6 (without service pack) and I know this IE6 version is an old one and service packs have version with some minor corrections.

I will try to pack the newest version of IE6 in a future version of IETester, this should solve the problem.

shinokada · 2009-01-13 12:05:30

Thank you. We all appreciate your work.

shinokada · 2009-01-13 12:12:37

Here is the link for IE6-XP SP3 if someone what to download.

fabrice · 2009-01-13 13:24:50

What is exactly your IE6 version (you can see that on the about box).

I just tested with a XP SP2 and IE6 virtual machine. The IE6 version I am using is 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.080814-1233

and I still get the javascript error. If you have a different version on your SP3 machine, I will setup a XPSP3 with IE6 virtual machine to do some more tests.

Thanks for your feedback.

shinokada · 2009-01-13 13:31:52

It says
version:6.0.2900.5512.xpsp.080413-2111

fabrice · 2009-01-13 13:35:04

:-( I think I will need to crate a VM with SP3 with IE6... I will keep you informed through the forum.

shinokada · 2009-01-13 13:39:36

Why don't you download from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta … layLang=en
and install it.

shinokada · 2009-01-13 21:33:26

I just tested with my another pc. It has a virtual pc and IE 6. Version is 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp1.020828-1920, updated version: SP1.

And it works fine without any problem.
