FLUID-1667: possibly a jquery bug. Uploader does nothing at all on my platform (firefox 3.0.1, flash 9.0.124

Description

My guess is that this is a jquery issue. I will try to run that down. However...

From the uploader demo (nightly or released, inline or popup) clicking the add files button does nothing, except throwing an error in firebug:

[Exception... "'Invalid function name' when calling method: [nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "<unknown>" data: no]
http://build.fluidproject.org/fluid/fluid-components/js/jquery/jquery-1.2.6.js
Line 2101

Hope that helps, but as it stands uploader is a dud for my machine.

Environments

Gentoo LInux 64 bit, Firefox 3.0.1 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008082113 Gentoo Firefox/3.0.1), Flash 9,0,124,0 installed

  More information.

  This morning I got an identical fault with Firefox 3 on an i686 box (so not 64 bit flash issues). Platform: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070206 Firefox/3.0.1

  I did an svn checkout for trunk, and built/deployed the image-gallery testing app, tweaking the pom.xml to pull in Fluid components version 0.5 (instead of 0.4-SNAPSHOT...). Again, identical problems. The single file upload works fine, but the multi-file widget breaks.

  The Firebug console caught the following error:

  [Exception... "'Invalid function name' when calling method: [nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "<unknown>" data: no]

  The multifile uploader page had the following debugging output listed:

  upload_error_handler assigned: true
  upload_success_handler assigned: true
  upload_complete_handler assigned: true

  I read in the ReadMe.txt under the uploader component directory that the error statement indicates that the " The flashUrl setting is probably wrong." But I haven't touched the code, and according to the output above, the flash url setting seems to be set properly.

  I've little clue. I am going to try to shoehorn in flashembed, instead of using the swfuploader code.

  Resolved (but I don't know how to close this bug report, or even if I can)

  Problem is upgrading from Firefox 2.0 to Firefox 3.0, apparently.

  see http://swfupload.org/forum/generaldiscussion/556#comment-1492

  I moved my old settings out of the way, and for good measure re-installed the flash plug-in, started Firefox 3 with a clean slate, and the uploader works fine.

  Possible resolution might be to note the above link somewhere in the website for resolving issues?

  Sorry about the noise.

  Appears to be an issue when upgrading firefox, not sure if it is issolated to Linux.
