Hi, I have a problem. Actually its not mine, its my customers. They have, as they are a scandenavian company, a helper tool installed that translates words in browser windows. After some long troubleshooting I found the cause. And suprise, its documented in google. and suprise. It is known in rails spinoffs: was discussed 1,5 years ago there: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails-spinoffs/2005-August/000318.html and a blog entry is also discussing this: http://idtech.blogspot.com/2006/11/prototypejs-crashes-ie6-on-some.html
But I cannot follow the argumentation: the third party tool is crap, but as this happens only with prototype, prototype is the guilty one. The last comment says: ------------ Snobe Johan I found the line causing the crash in prototype :-) I will make a blog post about it, but it is this line: var Event = new Object(); The Browser Helper Object is onmousemove creating a variable named Event, and then the crash is happening. The solution is to rename Event to EventAnotherName and replace (with care) in prototype.js and update all your call to Event. from you code More info at my blog, when the blog post is ready. ------------ I am unsure what actions would be the right one now for me. My customer is angry (uh bad luck...) So I was thinking of trying this "patch" with renaming Event. And I hear the protoype heaters say: thats because you are polluting the globale namespace. So dear prototype-core, what can I, what can we do with that?
