1.6.0_RC0 error in IE7 (Invalid character)

Please CC me on responses as I'm not subscribed to this
list.

Ok, I've been banging my head against the wall for 2 days
with this.
I've narrowed it down to something in prototype.js
specifically.  I've
redownloaded it, and tried the latest svn checkouts.

Here's my sample code:

<html>
	<head>
		<title>Untitled Document</title>
		<script type="text/javascript"
src="js/prototype.js"></script>
	</head>
	<body>
	</body>
</html>

Yes, that does what it looks like: nothing.  if I replace
prototype.js
with prototype_1511.js, it loads without error.  The
specific IE
version is 7.0.5730.11 on Windows XP 32Bit.

That fails.  In IE with:

Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Invalid character
Code: 0
URL: file:///C:/ajaxcatalogcd/index_just_prototype.html

Are you are using file loading rather than a web server?

Yeah, it's a local file while I'm editing.

I would STRONGLY recommend getting a web server (Sambar,
Apache, both
free or IIS if you have too).

I am curious about this behavior as well.
Why does it throw an error.

Does this mean that we should not use prototype.js for CD
delivered
html content?

Not really an option, unfortunately, I have a 'project' that
is to
create a cross platform, cross browser, catalog CD, with
just 51 MB of
space (business card CDs).  Currently, I'm hovering around
49MB usage
with all the part pictures.  I actually have that all
working, but
there has been a request to add some 'razmatazz' of being
able to
search inside the catalog.  I've written a basic html parser
that just
goes through and builds hashs from specific tables in each
file for
searching, and it works fine in FF, but not in IE.  Is there
any other
known way to work around this?  Why does prototype 1.5.1.1
work and
not 1.6.0_RC0?  I could work on back porting my stuff to
1.5.1.1, but
I have been heavily abusing Object.writeAttribute, and
obj.readAttribute (as opposed to
Object.readAttribute(obj)).

Can you try dropping the js/ part and put the prototype.js
file in the
same location as the html file?

I placed this file in the same loc as prototype.js
(V1.6.0_rc0) and it
loads on FF and in IE.

<html>
	<head>
		<title>Untitled Document</title>
		<script type="text/javascript"
src="./prototype.js"></script>
		<script
type="text/javascript">alert(Prototype.Version)
;</script>
       </head>
       <body>
       </body>
</html>

In both I get an alert with 1.6.0_rc0

Re: 1.6.0_RC0 error in IE7 (Invalid character)

Pat,

Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Invalid character
Code: 0
URL: file:///C:/ajaxcatalogcd/index_just_prototype.html

This is a signature that tells me, it must be one of the two
things:
1. A request for js file is broken, an standard html page
with error
is returned, thus signaling an invalid characters so close
to the
beginnign of the file.
2. A broken UTF-8 encoding is used (or used but not
expected), thus,
same invalid characted error.

1st is more likely. Any virtual Web server (as said already)
will help
you out and a http analyzing tool for IE (less - for FF)
called
Fiddler. With it you will certainly see what kind of content
is
brought back to the page's request for prototype.js. I doubt
Fiddler
will work on filesystem protocol (file:///)


Best regards,

Andrew Revinsky
