Hello everyone.
I made a TW for a manual, which I intend to use on a mobile phone.
Unfortunately on mobile Firefox it starts with an error message, though
it is completely functional. The errormessage only happens there and is
quite unprecise (only "script error" for anyone who whishes to track it
down it is on https://szen.io/Audacity/) so that i would like to supress
it.
1.) How do i do this?
2.) Wouldne it be a nice Idea to have a control-panel option for those
cases?

Yours Jan

I've noticed that FF on mobile (Android) creates a "hybrid"  in memory of your current and previous revision of a TW document (it probably happens
with other web pages too, but is more noticeable with TW). 

If you reload your page does the message go away?

Another experiment is to go into the app manager (on Android) and close FF down completely. Maybe get rid of cache data (but not app data, which has your settings and bookmarks). Then load again.

I was able to load your page just fine on my ancient Handy with an also ancient Firefox. But I only have one copy of your page in memory until you make a revision.

Hi Mark, Hi Mario,
the message can be clicked away and you can continue without problems. But when I reload it is there again.
That is why I would like the message *not to appear at all*, it is no good publicity if the first thing a website says is not working...even if it is working.

Hi,
The problem is: It may look like it's working, but the function that did throw the error, doesn't. ... We just can't say, what's wrong. .. So removing the info may do harm.

Look like you need to undertake a systematic analysts. Disable a plugin at a time, save reload. Check and stop start up actions, try in safe mode rename tags macro and see if the error still occurs etc...

As PMario asked, what add-ons are you using? Two of us have looked at your page without any problems. That seems to suggest that the problem
is with your browser. Perhaps a script-rewriter or ad-blocker is causing problems?

Hi and thanks for your proposals!
AFAIK I do not use any plugins in my IPhone FF.
Of course it is the sustainable solution to see, what is causing the red screen. But because it shows so rarely and does not effect the functionality I would like to have the possibilty to toggle the message instead of solving the problem. There is some usescases where I absolutely would like the wiki not to show such messages to users.
I guess that this could be done by css but this would be even less sustainalbe because the message is left open. So is there a part in the core which can be modified in order not to trigger that message.

Best wishes Jan

Hi Jan,

I did just check your TW version at:  https://szen.io/Audacity/ and it's 5.1.16-prerelease

Pre-releases are development versions only. They shouldn't be used for "production". .... So I would highly recommend to update to 5.1.19.

It's close to impossible for us to help with problems, related to prereleases.

have fun!
mario

Hi,

The interesting thing now is: why did you choose 5.1.16 prerelease? ... There may be some new functionality introduced with 5.1.16. .. If so, please check this function with 5.1.19. ... And if we are lucky the problem will be gone ;)
