Script Error - IE7 & IE8 on Vista
Mar. 20, 2009Gareth
Guys,
I need some help. Using IE7 or IE8 on Vista (XP works fine), go to this page on my website.
http://garethhooper.com/articles/information-technology/web-multimedia/135-how-to-add-hdhq-youtube-videos-to-a-playlist-for-use-with-the-jw-flv-player-.html
Click play on the player. Now navigate away from the website or close the browser tab. You'll set a script error screenshot below:

I cannot work out for the life of me what is causing it.
Does anyone know? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks in advance.

Wow! No one else having this problem?

Having the same problem in an XP environment but only in Internet Explorer. All seems fine on FF but any page on my site that has embedded videos give error when LEAVING the page only.
http://www.plr.me
Cannot seem to identify the cause of this. Each Video embedded in the page appears to trigger 6 or 7 script errors when exiting the page - all pointing to
function __flash__removeCallback(instance, name) {
instance[name] = null;
}
as the problem code.
Any ideas??

I'm also having the same problem leaving pages with embedded videos in IE7/Vista. They work fine in FF and Chrome.
Debugging shows that there are two problematic javascript functions:
__flash__removeCallback(document.getElementById(""), "sendEvent");
__flash__addCallback(instance, name) {
instance[name] = function () {
return eval(instance.CallFunction("<invoke name=\""+name+"\" returntype=\"javascript\">" + __flash__argumentsToXML(arguments,0) + "</invoke>"));
}
Does anyone know where can I find the code for these functions?

Hi guys,
I ran into the same error...
It seems that the player keeps calling javascript functions which are unloaded from the browser before the flash plugin is unloaded...
The following solution worked for me:
1 ID the embed as 'myplayer'
2 Wrap the embed tags with an element with ID 'flashholder'.
3 Add the following to the body tag:
onbeforeunload="document.getElementById('flashholder').removeChild(document.getElementById('myplayer'));"
Let me know if it works for you as well!
cheers,
Maarten

Hey Maarten,
Could you paste your full code so that I can see exactly how you did it.
I have been having this problem for awhile.
Thanks,
Colin

Maarten, thanks so much. That's worked for me! Hurray!
Colin, just to explain what I did, here's Maarten's fix code step-by-step from my site:
1 ID the embed as 'myplayer'
Add id="myplayer" as an extra parameter at the end of the object tag, to give:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:683px;height:404px;" data="http://mydomain.com/plugins/content/videos/players/mediaplayer_4.0.46.swf" id="myplayer" />
2 Wrap the embed tags with an element with ID 'flashholder'.
Add id="flashholder" as the id of a tag surrounding the embed object. In my case there was a <span> there already but I guess you might need to create a new one. The code for the whole player is:
<span class="videos">
<span style="width:683px;height:404px;" class="video_player" id="flashholder">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:683px;height:404px;" data="http://mydomain.com/plugins/content/videos/players/mediaplayer_4.0.46.swf" id="myplayer" />
<param name="movie" value="http://mydomain.com/plugins/content/videos/players/mediaplayer_4.0.46.swf" />
<param name="flashvars" value="file=http://www.mydomain.com/content/slayer/slayer.flv" />
</object>
</span>
3 Add the following to the body tag:
For neatness, I did this bit by creating a separate script function near the end of the html <body> called "closeplayer" as follows:
<script>
function closeplayer()
{
document.getElementById('flashholder').removeChild(document.getElementById('myplayer'));
}
</script>
And then I call this function from the main body tag:
<body onbeforeunload="closeplayer()">
And that should do the trick. Have a look for yourself on http://www.rathergood.com/slayer (warning: contains a man shouting).

Using longtail in a wordpress page caused IE8 trouble till now, solution :
<span class="videos">
<span id="flashholder">
<span id="mplayer">
[playlist id=1] <!-- wordpress magic here -->
</span>
</span>
</span>
<script>
function closeplayer() {
document.getElementById('flashholder').removeChild(document.getElementById('myplayer'));
}
window.onbeforeunload="closeplayer()"
</script>
