problem with ops application and ie6

Chaps,

At long last the end is in sight for my 1st ops  apps, and I'm fairly
pleased that everything looks as if its working. One small problem
however is that everything basically works fine in Firefox 1.5.0.7 and
doesn't in IE6 or IE7.

In Firefox the only thing that seems to be wrong is that when selecting
items in an xforms:select statement you appear to have to click on the
box twice to select it.

In IE6, after the 1st page of the questionnaire you get a "Cannot find
server or DNS server error" message. And I don't know where to look to
resolve it. If I do a <shift> reload at this point, I get an ops "string
index out of range:2 error message (see below)


The app is based on the wizard with PFC example and is a questionnaire
with multiple pages to complete. Along the way it requires the user to
authenticate prior to completing the questionnaire ( via a RADIUS based
authenticator) and checks a back end database to see if the logged on
person has already completed the questionnaire in the current month.
Based upon this, the input instance has a <user> object with some user
related info in it.

A user can either step through and complete the questionnaire or exit it
at any time (destroys the current session requiring the use to log back
on again if they want to start again). The only thing to do now is to
add some CSS formatting to tidy up what the end user sees.

Attached are the files associated with the application. In
generate-input-instnce.xpl you can either have a test-user.xml file used
to build the instance passed on via the page-flow.xml file or use the
output from a pipeline process #userInfo to build the <user/>....</user>
object.

i.e.
  <p:input  name="data"
href="aggregate('survey',action.xml,#userInfo,title.xml,questionnaire-mo
del.xml)"/>

Or
  <p:input  name="data"
href="aggregate('survey',action.xml,test-user.xml,title.xml,questionnair
e-model.xml)"/>

The former relies on some java code to build the user object.

I'm running ops 3.5M1 from 13/10/06


I'd really like to know why IE6 is complaining

1). Error page from ops

String index out of range: 2

OPS Call Stack
The OPS Call Stack helps you determine what sequence of OPS operations
have caused the error.

Resource URL Line Column Description XML Element

Java Exceptions (5 total)
Java Exceptions are the native mechanism by which OPS reports errors.
More than one exception may be provided below but usually the first
exception along with the OPS Stack Trace above provide enough
information to track down an issue.

Alex,

Would you be able to either:

a) Create stand-alone example that we can run in the sandbox to
reproduce the problem (if possible this is best way).
b) Zip the content of your resources directory and resend it here.

This way we'll spend less time setting up files in the right directory
and dealing with missing files, if any. Thanks!

Alex

Hi,
I've been running the example in examples-standalone directory anyway.
Zipping up the files was what I was going to do this morning when I get
into work :))

I'll set one up so that you're not expecting to access the mysql
database at this end.

Hi,
Attached is zurvey3.zip, which contains folder survey3. survey3 lived in
the examples-standalone directory.

I've removed the hull specific stuff.

Also in the folder is a copy of the web.xml file I've been using.
Basically it's enabled your auth example, specified a Radius
authenticator to use configurd things so that accessing
/examples-standalone/survey3 requires authentication.

Hi Alex,

Alright, after adding the declaration for the static files to your
page-flow.xml, I got to run your stand-alone application and reproduce
the problem. I should have thought about this right away when you
described the symptom, as this is is not the first time we see this
:). I added an entry in the FAQ for this, which you can find here:

http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/home-faq#ie-cannot-find-server

I hope this will help,

Alex
