Client-side JS code crashes in IE on certain structure within repeat

[Maciej Arciuch]

Dear all,

I've encountered a strange problem, namely if a put a certain code (both HTML and XForms) within a xforms:repeat control the client-side JavaScript code crashes in Internet Explorer browser when adding a new element to the nodeset of the repeat.

I'm aware that the code might not be correct (div inside a paragraph, incorrect AFAIK), I'm not complaining about incorrect rendering (one extra "42"), I'm concerned with the JS crash (IE crashes with "object required" message).

In order to reproduce the error it's enough to click the following link: http://www.orbeon.com/ops/xforms-sandbox/run?url=http://gamma.mini.pw.edu.pl/~arciuchm/iecrash.xml (the file itself is here: http://www.orbeon.com/ops/xforms-sandbox/run?url=http://gamma.mini.pw.edu.pl/~arciuchm/iecrash.xml) and click "insert". It works fine in Firefox, crashes in IE.

Is there any chance that you make Orbeon more idiot-proof? Should it all this be treated as an Orbeon bug or user error?

Thanks in advance, Maciej

Maciej,

It would certainly be nice if we didn't crash on this one. I am entering a bug:

I can't promise we will fix it very soon though!

If anyone else experiences the same problem: please try changing e.g. your <div> into a  - this workaround worked out for me.
