Hi, when entering the dynamic view with IE8, the left menu bar does not load. IE shows a bunch of Javascript errors (I've roughly translated the German error messages): Message: 'HordeDialog' is undefined Line: 450 Character: 10412 Code: 0 URI: https://intranator/horde/imp/dynamic.php?Horde=o9p7v869rm07bava2g30aqq1c3&page=mailbox Message: 'IMP_JS' is undefined Line: 3647 Character: 9 Code: 0 URI: https://intranator/horde/imp/js/dimpbase.js?v=938ddf4c432f76f13d9286d1f39a954d Message: 'this.splitbar' is null or no object Line: 3789 Chracater: 9 Code: 0 URI: https://intranator/horde/imp/js/dimpbase.js?v=938ddf4c432f76f13d9286d1f39a954d One has to open the Javascript error dialog once and then they are "accepted". When one re-logins into IMP, it's fine. I have no idea where IE8 saves accepted Javascript errors, I can just reproduce it by resetting my Windows XP VM. Thomas

Most likely it is this: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/prototype-scriptaculous/ksKUW23hiQw I don't really have access to IE 8 right now, so someone would have to develop a solution for that browser. Or better yet - use cached js (horde/config/conf.php). Loading all javascript in a single file fixes this issue on IE 7/IE 8.

This will work correctly, but it is troubling that it may not work in the default installation. So it does need to be fixed unfortunately.

So it does need to be fixed unfortunately. Hmm, it's working correctly now with git HEAD. Last time I tried in December, it gave random Javascript errors so I disabled it before pushing H5 into production. JS caching doesn't help with IE8 though. I've tried the file based backend and the "horde cache" based backend. Error message (roughly translated from German): Message: 'undefined' is Null or no object Line: 469 Character: 774 Code: 0 URI: https://172.16.1.123/horde/services/cache.php?cache=js%2Fcid%3D14a8eb2e20b5c51f91c6e85a9c5a72c1d3f2f6c7 From my observation, JS caching still delivers several, large files.

There is still a problem with reply in IE8. When double-clicking a mail and clicking reply on the newly opened window it doesn't work.

> From my observation, JS caching still delivers several, large files. This is expected: prototype.js is always delivered separately from all other files. It is the only file guaranteed to be delivered on every page. Sending separately allows it to be cached and removed from the size of the variable payload based on the actual page content.

Jan's analysis is correct: "GET /horde/themes/default/graphics/button-split.png),%20url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAAdBAMAAACZLxtaAAAAGFBMVEWkpKTGxsbQ0NDW1tbY2NjU1NTLy8u/v8ASRiaXAAAAEklEQVQIW2NhYBGAQgaiIVg9ABtiAOWD49QFAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC HTTP/1.1" Let's not care about this, imp works and the log is disabled on productive systems. @mms: Thanks for the popup window fix, replying etc. works now.

> #12043 was fixed - does that fix this? Not yet. Playing around some more, I found out how to trigger this: The trick is to mark deleted messages as "\Deleted" only and enable "hide deleted messages" in the imp view. As soon as the deleted messages are hidden, the Javascript errors pop up. May be some "outstanding" requests? Two new errors (this time with cookie based session): Message: 'this.viewport.getMetaData(...)' is null or no object Line: 1342 Character: 13 Code: 0 URI: https://172.16.1.123/horde/imp/js/dimpbase.js?v=94bb72db456008168cbe506f7a47cd76 Message: 'undefined' is null or no object Line: 1364 Character: 13 Code: 0 URI: https://172.16.1.123/horde/imp/js/dimpbase.js?v=94bb72db456008168cbe506f7a47cd76 Code is git HEAD as of now.

I can't reproduce and I have removed every bit of my cache after the recent changes (easy to do since I run IE 8 in a virtual machine). Regardless, unless these bugs are showstoppers (i.e. prevent IE8 from working entirely), I don't have the time to track down at this time unless someone can provide patches.
