Hi all, we hit a few snags with Firefox not displaying form fields properly, see this post : please bear with me.

This will be the first of >> several posts! > We are working with Koha 2.2.5. Our biggest problem here at the SPC is that the cursor does not show up on the right side of the screen.

This is on the Admin pages, default theme, English, Catalogue - Catalogue Search - then the 4 fields under Other Options (ie Item Barcode) on the right hand side, in Firefox click in any of them and you will not be able to see the cursor, this won't happen if you are running say 800x600 screen resolution and these boxes are bunched over to the left hand side, you then have a cursor, however these work fine in Internet Explorer, so ... I did a little digging, and I am aware that for the admin Interface that Mozilla is the only approved browser, why I am not sure but anyway, that's how it is. The one big problem with IE and Koha is that is does not work on these pages. Catalogue - Add Biblio - Create Empty Biblio Then anywhere where you have the three little dots that normally open a popup (in Firefox this works) nothing happens in IE, you get a script error saying "invalid argument". So, I am really interested in getting Koha Admin to work with IE here so I took a look at the code. What IE is choking on is the following. This does not work function Dopop(link,i) { defaultvalue=document.forms['f'].field_value[i].value; newin=window.open(link+"&result="+defaultvalue,"value builder",'width=550,height=550,toolbar=false,scrollbars=yes'); This does work function Dopop(link,i) { defaultvalue=document.forms['f'].field_value[i].value; newin=window.open(link+"&result="+defaultvalue,"value_builder",'width=55 0,height=550,toolbar=false,scrollbars=yes'); When "value builder" is "value_builder" IE works fine ? I changed this in the default template files addbiblio.tmpl line 599, additem.tmpl line 121, authorities.tmpl line 162 and things started working in Internet Explorer, I start to get pop-ups on addbiblio etc where it calls javascript:Dopop() Then found I also needed to change the files under /koha/intranet/cgi-bin/value_builder, This is for all the Clic() functions. Take marc21_field_008.pl as an example (as this was one I had to change) before function Clic$function_name(i) { defaultvalue=document.forms['f'].field_value[i].value; newin=window.open(\"../plugin_launcher.pl?plugin_name=marc21_field_008.p l&index=\"+i+\"&result=\"+defaultvalue,\"unimarc field 100\",'width=1000,height=600,toolbar=false,scrollbars=yes'); after function Clic$function_name(i) { defaultvalue=document.forms['f'].field_value[i].value; newin=window.open(\"../plugin_launcher.pl?plugin_name=marc21_field_008.p l&index=\"+i+\"&result=\"+defaultvalue,\"unimarc_field_100\",'width=1000 ,height=600,toolbar=false,scrollbars=yes'); ie if I change \"unimarc field 100\" to \"unimarc_field_100\" it then works fine in IE, why is this ? Is this something that can easily be changed to accommodate IE as most everything else except this works ? It seems most of the admin interface now works for us in IE, and we can see the cursor that we cannot see in Firefox :) Cheers Phill -- Phill Hardstaff MCSA 2003_A+_Network+_Inet+_Server+ Senior Support Engineer Secretariat of the Pacific Community B.P.
