Inserting an URL in 2.1 Ella does not work (WYSIWYG)

    I recently upgraded to the 2.1 FINAL. Everthing went fine, I thought. I wrote a new article, I clicked on the “insert an URL” button in the WYSIWYG-editor and some silly ajax-window came up, instead of the popup-javascript-window that 2.0.7 and all versions before used. All of a sudden the buttons for “insert” and “cancel” are not SHOWN in that ajax-window. I click on the mousewheel and scroll down the window. Happy to find the buttons at the very end of a window that seems not to be dimensioned the right way. But guess what? Clicking on the buttons does not help. So the window stucks, cause when I click on the “x” in the right corner to close the small, shiny, funky ajax-window nothing happens. I have to click the reload button. Nice that the autosave prevented losing the whole article.

    But when I try it again and again everytime happens the same. The buttons are not shown, the ajax-window gets stuck and I can hit reload. Guys and girls I am using Firefox in the newest version and I can’t guess what’s going wrong here, but I can guess that things like that shouldn’t happen if a thing is named “final”. Anyone can tell me which file I have to modify by hand for the ajax-window (insert url) will work properly?!

    I am complaining that people have released a RC1 short time before… I slept some (were it two?) days over and wow… a final version was pulled out of the hat. And we were promised that next releases will come faster and faster. I can wait for releases as long as it takes. I have never contributed to beta testing, that’s right, but I just have used “final” versions. And I have seen videogame industry and software companys recently producing faster and faster but buggyer and buggyer.
    I use my time for different things than software experiments, but I can contribute by spending money for the project. That’s how I can contribute. I have no problem with this, I spent money for some plugin authors as well.

    I am running Firefox 2 on Windows XP. With now the recent 1.5.10 or Java Runtime Environment… switched off popup-blockers. I presented some screenshots at my homepage. How do I access the error console? ??

    I’m having the same problem in Firefox 2.0.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.4.8. The error console (menu: Tools / Error Console, Sajonara) reports multiple identical errors:

    Error: this.frame.tinyMCEPopup.restoreSelection is not a function
    Source File: https://www.robcottingham.ca/wp-includes/js/
    tinymce/tiny_mce_gzip.php?ver=20061113&
    theme=advanced&language=&
    plugins=inlinepopups%2Cautosave%2Cspellchecker%2C
    paste%2Cwordpress&lang=&index=0
    Line: 1082

    Hope that’s helpful.

    Hi, same problem of Sayonara – I use windows Xp and browse with Firefox 2.0.1 (just upgraded for the problem) italian version and the TinyMce link doesn’t work. The answer is this:

    this.frame.tinyMCEPopup.restoreSelection is not a function
    close()tiny_mce_gzip.php (line 1090)
    [Break on this error] this.frame[‘tinyMCEPopup’].restoreSelection();

    Before to allowed the pop up windows in the browser lot’s of button doesn’t appears, like the link. After, they apperar, but the link pop up doesn’t work.

    Fehler: this.frame.tinyMCEPopup.restoreSelection is not a function

    Try to change the Javascript Options as it is shown here:

    And of course update your Java runtime environment to the newest 1.5.10. This worked for me, I guess. Well… I did some other things as well but I can’t imagine those have something to do with this. Please tell if it worked out for you.

    Hmm, it didn’t work out for me. I checked the boxes, upgraded to java 1.5.10, made sure the sql-servers version is higher than 4.
    Right now I’m running out of ideas, how the problem can be solved.

    Updating you java environment is not likely to be helpful since wordpress contains exactly 0 lines of java code. Javascript, despite the name, is completely unrelated to java.

    Is anyone as well using the Advanced WYSIWYG plugin? I disabled it, for it does not work properly with 2.1 yet.

    The Solution is simple: After the Update, close all browser Tabs in Firefox, navigate with the last open one to google homepage or about:blank and then clear the cache. Restart the Browser and everything works fine as expected.

    The Error is not Firefox related in general nor is it OS Releated. It occurs when the Browser uses an older javascript file that is incompatible with the one shipped with WordPress 2.1

    Thank you, Hakre! It works!!!
