RAM, Firefox 4.0/6.0, and "Related assets" button


David Hagood (622) | asked Aug 24 '11, 6:10 p.m.
I have run into a strange problem with RAM, Firefox 4.0 or Firefox 6.0, and the "Add related assets" button.

There appears to be a race condition on rendering the Modify Asset page, such that on the first load of the screen, the "add related assets" button on the Related Assets tab does not have any Javascript event handlers bound to it (confirmed using Firefox's DOM inspector). On a refresh of the page, the button now has several Javascript handlers bound to it (e.g. onclick) (also confirmed using Firefox's DOM inspector).

Has anybody else seen this behavior? It is 100% reproducible for me, happens both under Linux and under Windows XP, on multiple machines.

RAM 7.5.0.2 supports FF 3.6 ... 7.5.1 (out in a bit) will support 4,5

... significant changes between 3.x and 4.

Hi,

What version of RAM?

Versions of browsers (including IE and Firefox) are often not compatible
and things that worked in one version may not work in the next. The
basic stuff works but complicated stuff often fails. And the stuff you
were talking about is very complicated because it is background
javascript and ajax that runs on its own thread.

As of 7502 Firefox 3.5 & 3.6 are the supported Firefox versions. 4 and 6
weren't tested or didn't exist at the time of 7502 so no statement can
be made for them.

And my post is more to help make the Jazz community aware of the issue and to provide my debugging info than anything else.

Thanks for the info.

We typically develop/test with the latest browsers that are available at the time. Support for new platforms will come in as new releases/service packs are made available.
