[Forum] var SESSIONURL = "";

[James Cole]

Internet Explorer is throwing an error, apparently because it doesn't like the fact that there is no value between the " ". Below is the code from the page:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var SESSIONURL = "";
var SECURITYTOKEN = "guest";
var IMGDIR_MISC = "images/misc";
var IMGDIR_BUTTON = "images/buttons";
var vb_disable_ajax = parseInt("0", 10);
var SIMPLEVERSION = "407";
var BBURL = "http://www.marineengine.com/boat-forum";
var LOGGEDIN = 0 > 0 ? true : false;
var THIS_SCRIPT = "index";
var RELPATH = "forum.php";
// -->

Can anyone help clarify this for me? Should there be a url? Is there a setting in the admin that controls this var? Thanks for any ideas. -James

What version of IE is doing this? I'm not getting any error messages in IE8 or IE9.

[James Cole]

IE 7 is loading really slowly, IE 8 is faster, but still slow. I used the debugger in IE8 and it pointed out the above mentioned issue. It also doesn't like this bit:


<!-- Begin progress indicator JavaScript code -->
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
loading_off(1);
// -->
</script>
<!-- End progress indicator JavaScript code -->

It's pointing to loading_off as the error in this case. I'm not sure, but I am assuming that these two items are what's bogging things down. Other more forgiving browsers seem to be just fine. Long time supporters of our forum are complaining loudly and I have to assume casual users or new users are just bailing out.

Any ideas? And should the sessionurl have a value? Thanks for any assistance.

That other javascript is not default, what happens if you remove it?

[James Cole]

i will try removing the non-standard javascript. can you tell me if var SESSIONURL = ""; is supposed to have a value? is it expected to be empty?

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
 var SESSIONURL = "";
 var SECURITYTOKEN = "[removed]";
 var IMGDIR_MISC = "images/misc";
 var IMGDIR_BUTTON = "images/buttons";
 var vb_disable_ajax = parseInt("0", 10);
 var SIMPLEVERSION = "409c";
 var BBURL = "http://www.vbulletin.com/forum";
 var LOGGEDIN = 19405 > 0 ? true : false;
 var THIS_SCRIPT = "showthread";
        var RELPATH = "showthread.php?366742-var-SESSIONURL-quot-quot";
// -->
</script>
