Can't edit files

[Font Color Red]

When I go into edit a file, in the description text box I get a Runtime error on Line 163, Error: object expected. This happens when I hit any key on my keyboard.

How do I do this?

Isn't there a way to fix the code? There is an error in the coding somewhere that is causing this.

What do I edit in editpics.php?

[Sami]

1.do you have these lines on editpics.php (lines:517~520)

Code Select Expand


function textCounter(field, maxlimit) {
        if (field.value.length > maxlimit) // if too long...trim it!
        field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlimit);
}

if no , you should add those
2.you can temporary disable javascript on that file by change line 356

Code Select Expand

<textarea name="$name" rows="5" cols="40" class="textinput" style="width: 100%;" onkeydown="textCounter(this, $max_length);" onkeyup="textCounter(this, $max_length);">$value</textarea>

The first code is already there.

The second code to disable javascript didn't work, I still got the same Runtime error.

Any other options to get around this error?

temporarily disable JavaScript in your browser

If you are using IE you can disable Javascript by :

1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Internet Options.

If you are using Internet Explorer 4.x, double-click Internet in Control Panel.
2. Click the Security tab.
3. Click the Internet zone, and then click Custom Level.

If you are using Internet Explorer 4.x, click Internet Zone.
4. In the Settings box, locate the Scripting section, and then click Disable under Active Scripting.
5. Click OK.
6. Click OK.

That sure seems like a hassle to temporarily disable javascript everytime I need to edit a description of a file. Isn't there a way to fix this error in the coding??

Maybe allowing us to test this on your gallery would be helpful.
