CalendarDateSelect Error on using search function

[AnnieMS]

When I choose advanced search I get the CalendarDateSelect Error message. I'm supposed to make sure my application's layout includes prototype.js before it includes calendar_date_select.js. The message also includes "{.g <%=javascript_include_tag:defaults %>}". I have no idea what to change where.

I'm running firefox 3.6 w/ java platform, deployment toolkit, & console add-on's, all v6 update 18. I didn't see anywhere in the java control panel applet to make that change. Is this something I do in firefox's about:config?

I run the noscript extension in firefox. I have msfn.org & intellitext.com allowed. Do I need to allow qauntserve.com or googleapis.com also? I delete all cookies on closing the browser, including flash cookies using better privacy. Do I need to make an exception for an msfn cookie?

Other than the message, advanced search seems to proceed w/out problems

What steps do you use specifically to reproduce this? I can't with a simple advanced search, so what exactly are you doing? That way I can try to reproduce the error with your steps.

Thanks cluberti

I hit the search link at the top of the page, then the advanced link search in the little box that pops up. That takes me to the advanced search page, where there is an error message. Once I hit OK to the message it goes away and I can access the advanced search page, fill in the boxes and search without any apparent problems.

I've attached a jpeg of the error message.

That is indeed odd, because following those steps I get no error message with either IE8 nor FF 3.6. Hopefully you can attach the jpeg.

Well, I thought I had attached the jpeg of the error message. I'll try again. Under attachments I browse & click the file and the path appears in the box next to the browse button. Is there something else I'm supposed to do? I read about attaching files when I first joined but now I can't find the help link.

I'm also attaching a jpg of part of the page where this AnnieMS box now sits and seems to be obscuring links underneath. It doesn't move or close. I can't find the log out link either.

I'm currently on a win2k sony laptop. I also have firefox 3.6 with noscript and the same java add-ons installed on a thinkpad x41 so I went to msfn forums on it and clicked on search > advanced search & got the same message

3rd try for the error message. I attached the error message first and the jpg titled msfn page 2nd, but only the msfn page actually seems to have attached.

Editing the post didn't work so I'm trying a new post to attach that error message jpg, which is apparently cursed.

I had to put it in the second browse box to get it attached.

Yes, it's a Win32 dialog box, and it's saying that it's having trouble parsing something. Not sure what you can do about it though, as I doubt IPB is heavily tested at all on Win2K or Win9x, using any browser. I'm using XP, Vista, and Win7 for my tests and none of these with FF 3.6 repro the problem you see.

You need to allow googleapis in NoScript to get the site to work properly. You can disallow intellitext.

Thanks Tripredacus,

I enabled googleapis and now I can see the sign out link again. I clicked on advanced search and no error message.
