[SOLVED] Prototype JS Library = Problems on Mac

[brady.k]

Hi everyone,

Unlike some of my more recent posts, this is a language I'm very familiar with, so it's not some "noob" problem.

I use the Prototype JS Library (version 1.6.0... the latest) for AJAX functionality on all my projects, but recently I received a report of a problem:

On Macs, both Firefox and Safari, I have two pages/scripts that do not work, a login and a signup. The crucial ones, right?

It apparently *does* submit the AJAX request, and is successful, but refuses to move from a "Processing Request" statement to the next step. You can view this at http://www.myshoutoutloud.com/signup.php (make sure you let me know what username you signup as, unless it's obvious, so I can delete any extra accounts... unless you want to keep it, in which case mention that as well please).

This works on Firefox on Ubuntu, and both IE and FF on Vista (Safari kept crashing, so I couldn't test that on Vista). And since it's both FF and Safari on Macs that are having the problem, it would suggest something to do with Mac architecture, rather than a specific browser.

Here's the AJAX request on the signup page, which executes:
$('regLoc').request({
method: 'get',
onLoading: function() { procLoading('registerMessage'); },
onComplete: function() { registerTrue(); },
onSuccess: function() { registerTrue(); },
onFailure: function() { registerFalse; }
});


The onLoading portion works correctly, which you will see manifested as the "Processing" part. Here's what doesn't work:

function registerTrue() {
$('regLoc').hide();
$('registerMessage').show();
$('registerMessage').update('<p><strong><i>Signup successful! Please watch for the verification email.</i></strong></p>');
$('singlecolumn').hide();
}


Any ideas? The login page is basically the same issue, with a JS redirect thrown in as well.

Thanks

Problem solved, thanks to "McBastard" on #prototype (irc.freenode.net).

Having both onSuccess and onComplete was causing indecision, and removing onSuccess worked.

Thanks
