SDM 12.9 & IE8 Attachments - do they work for you?

[Kyle_R]

Hello Everyone,

 

Reaching out to the SDM Community to see if anyone can confirm this scenario?

You'll need to be on Service Desk Manager 12.9, preferably using Cumulative Patch 1, and the test is whether there is an issue when uploading Attachments when using the Employee interface on Internet Explorer 8.

 

If someone could verify that scenario for me, that would be great! Appreciate it. (I've tried it here . . . works for me . . . but after some verification because a vanilla lab box is not quite the same as a real world test.)

 

To repeat the test:

• Must be SDM 12.9.
• Preferably be Cumulative Patch 1.
• Must use the Employee interface.
• Must use Internet Explorer 8.

 

Add an Attachment, and do you see these message?

"Object expected std_head.js Line:14022"

Note. The Attachment attaches, and is able to be opened. But there is an error message during the upload.

This error message is only seen for a client using IE 8 and no other browser.

 

Any confirmation - for or against - would be much appreciated!

 

The file by the way is a standard one provided by CP1 and the "std_head.js" has not been customised by the client in /site/mods.

 

Thanks, Kyle-R.

 

EDIT:  Or if you have any other suggestions on the above, that would also be appreciated.

 

The code at this point is:

{

if ( typeof lID == "object" )

lId = lID[0];

var btn = imgBtnArray[lID];

if ( btn.enabled ) {

if ( typeof btn.obj == "string" )

btn.obj = document.getElementById(btn.obj);

try { btn.obj.focus(); } catch(e) {}

eval( btn.func );                      <<<<< Line 14022.

}

return false;

}

Thank you for testing and confirming for me, Paul.

(And everyone else who viewed the thread.)

 

That's a great help. Means that I have a different problem now to understand  , but still that shuts down one avenue which is always a good thing.

Hello Everyone,

 

Just to close out this post with a resolution to the error, it was caused by attempting to upload a single corrupt file.

 

All of the users were testing with the same test file. But extending the test showed that any other file of same extension type worked fine.

The consultant quickly identified this issue, once onsite and could view the users' testing.

 

Interesting that it only failed on IE 8 and not the other browsers.

 

Thanks, Kyle_R.
