Xform issues with Firefox 4.0

Hi,

Orbeon verion 3.7.1

I am encountering some issues when opening the xform generated by form builder in mozilla firefox 4.0

Issue is the constraint alert does not disappear even after entering up the data in the fields(any field select1, input field etc.) also the relevent functionlity does not work in this version of browser.

On Internet explorer 9 i ahve another issue. My simple xform breaks and gives orbeon error.

Is there any compatibility problem with Firefox 4.0 and Internet explorer 9 in orbeon.

Regards,
Hasan

With Orbeon Forms 3.7.1, it would appear so based on your report!

But as far as we know, not with Orbeon Forms 3.9 RC1 as we have tested
those with Firefox 4 and IE 9.

Re: Xform issues with Firefox 4.0

Thanks for the quick reply Erik.

We currently have Orbeon 3.7.1 community version deployed and due to some constraints we dont wan't to move to upper version of Orbeon.

Is there any patch available for Orbeon 3.7.1 so that issues with Firefox 4.0 and Internet Explorer 9 get resolved.

Regards,
Hasan

Hi Hasan,

I also have a project running Orbeon Forms 3.7.x still actively used, but not under heavy development and I'd like to avoid going through an upgrade. So I was planning to at least look into the Firefox 4 issue, but didn't get a chance to do that yet. So you might want to ask us again in a few weeks, and check for updates on Twitter on the meantime (http://twitter.com/#!/orbeon).

Re: Xform issues with Firefox 4.0

Thanks Alex,

Appreciate your response. This is quiet important for us. Can we any how dig into the code and play around. Can you please point out the area or piece of code for the firefox and IE9 thing that need to be reviewed.

Regards,
Hasan

Hi Hasan,

I really don't know exactly where the problem is. But for sure it is related to JavaScript. At this point, until I investigate this myself, I can only point you to this general documentation on how to work with the JavaScript code in Orbeon Forms:

Re: Xform issues with Firefox 4.0

Hi Alex,

Do we have any update on Orbeon Xforms running on Firefox 4. We have number of user registration forms on our production systems and all those stopped working for the users who switched to Firefox 4, well we are looking to the solution very urgently.

We are happy for any patch release or something for this also.

Thanks & Regards

Hasan

Hi Hasan,

It turns out that we will upgrade that application still on Orbeon Forms 3.7 to version 3.9. So most likely we won't be looking at the Firefox 4 issue with Orbeon Forms 3.7 issue anytime soon. I guess you can either upgrade as well, investigate this yourself (all the code is open source), or we can help you through a Development Support plan.

Hi Hasan,

I think I found a solution.

in the xforms-min.js file

change:

isFF3:navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("firefox/3") != -1

to:

isFF3:navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("firefox/3") != -1 ||navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("firefox/4") != -1

We are currently testing if this is the total solution but a quick look looks promising.
I would appreciated feedback from you as well.

regards Ramon

Re: Re: Xform issues with Firefox 4.0

Thanks Ramon for your reply.

I have looked at the xforms-min.js in orbeon-resources-public.jar/ops/javascript/xforms-min.js and changed isFF3:navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("firefox/3") != -1 to isFF3:navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("firefox/3") != -1 ||navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("firefox/4") != -1 but some how my forms were not rendering on the page. I hope we need to look some more into this.

Its great work by you to find the area to look into.

Hasan

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Xform issues with Firefox 4.0

Hi,

Same thing here, the hack seems to do the trick. As for me, this is what I did :

isFF3: navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("firefox") != -1

Thanks,

Grégoire Neuville.

Hi Ramon,

Of course, I would encourage everyone to upgrade Orbeon Forms rather than stay with version 3.7 which is now more than 2 years old (we don't want Orbeon Forms 3.7 to become the new IE 6!), but this is great news. Thank you for sharing this with the list.

Re: Re: Xform issues with Firefox 4.0

Hi Alex,

I dont like messing around in the javascript files as well, and we are currently upgrading to 3.8 and hopefully soon after that 3.9
but because we have Orbeon 3.7 in production....like many others I guess I had to fix this.

regards Ramon

Candy,

The problem might be that you changed the wrong javascript file, depending on your Orbeon setting I think.
Are you running it in Tomcat? What you might wanna try then is make the changes to the javascript as extracted in the webapps/orbeon/ directory somewhere.....

it did the trick for me...sorry if it doesnt for you.

and as Alex mentioned, its really time to upgrade to a higher version

Re: Xform issues with Firefox 4.0 and Firefox 5

Hi,

Fix worked for me in 3.7.1 .

Again i need to do same fixes for Orbeon 3.6 for my other application, i applied these same changes in xforms-min.js in Orbeon 3.6 but that did'nt worked.
We are planned to migrate the application to Orbeon 3.8 RC1 but for now i need to provide the fixes in current 3.6 implementation.

Any suggestions for fixing this in Orbeon 3.6

Thanks and Regards,
Hasan

Hasan,

Orbeon Forms 3.6 was released in 2007, before Firefox 3, and it isn't
compatible with Firefox 3. So if you'd like to fix this in Orbeon
Forms 3.6, in addition to this fix for Firefox 4, you'll have to
include the change made in 3.7 for compatibility with Firefox 3.
Orbeon Forms 3.6 is quite old now, so I'd say you're better off moving
to 3.9 (I'm not sure why you're considering to move to 3.8).

Alex
