First of all, it's not java, so there is nothing to gain from messing with your java runtime. It's JavaScript and is a function of the browser.

Now, with that out of the way, please provide a link so I can take a look.

I just went to the link that Hitwalker supplied me, in IE6, and I dont see any error, at least on the home page. Could it be the particular theme you are/were using?

hi,

i tried different themes and with all themes i get that error. error only shows when clicking on any sentinal admin link...strange thing of it is that when i get my mouse over one of the little red help boxes the error dissapears, but when clicked on one of the sentinaladmin links the error returns

Please PM me an adminid/pass so I can debug this for you.

Open language/nukesentinel/lang-english.php and at or around line 242 you will see this code

Code:

define("_AB_HELP_078","You do not have the IP 2 Country table data installed.<br />This means your are missing the IANA Reserved Ranges that should be blocked.<br />Please use the <a href='".$admin_file.".php?op=ABImport'>Import Data</a> section to install the data.");

Just to test that this is the line that is causing the error, change it to

Code:

define("_AB_HELP_078","You do not have the IP 2 Country table data installed.");

Did that fix it?

This is the first chance I had to dig into this. As soon as you gave me access and I saw the error, I did a view page source and looked at line 125. When I saw mixed quotes I had a suspicion. Over many years of working with JavaScript, I know how persnickety it is when blending "" and ' in the status window. So, from there it was a simple matter of proving my suspicion.

to be honest i had give up on it... i never would find that error...

thanks for all the help!

Raven,

As you will recall, subsequent to me highlighting exactly the same issue earlier today, you forwarded details of this link/solution.

I too have now replaced the above code and everything is now working correctly, without any error being displayed!!! Wave

I do note that although you advised the code requring replacement was:

define("_AB_HELP_078","You do not have the IP 2 Country table data installed.<br />This means your are missing the IANA Reserved Ranges that should be blocked.<br />Please use the <a href='".$admin_file.".php?op=ABImport'>Import Data</a> section to install the data.");

The code I actually had in my file was slightly different:

define("_AB_HELP_078","You do not have the IP 2 Country table data installed. Please use the <a href='".$admin_file.".php?op=ABImport'>Import Data</a> section to install the data.");

I wonder if this had anything to do with it?

Nope. Are you using the latest NukeSentinel? The issue, regardless of the symantecs, is the mixing of quotes.

okay, I know why it caused the error. The single quote marks should have been escaped like so:

Code:

define("_AB_HELP_078","You do not have the IP 2 Country table data installed.<br />This means your are missing the IANA Reserved Ranges that should be blocked.<br />Please use the <a href=\'".$admin_file.".php?op=ABImport\'>Import Data</a> section to install the data.");

Hey Bob,

Thanks for the reply.

So should we stick with Ravens original solution, or use your code instead?

Posted: Fri Aug 19, 2005 3:21 pm

Either will work, the download has been updated with the one posted to prevent future problems Smile
