Login page - Menu bar does not work

[SR]

When I am in the Login page, the menu items does not work.

Any idea why it is not working?

Thanks.

The last time it happens to me (menu did not open on click), I had an error in my javascript…

Look at the navigator javascript console…

I would really appreciate if you could be more specific?

Not clear how we could know without providing any details at all regarding your code, the exact behavior, and the steps to reproduce the problem.

I notice the same problem.

Using firefox, the js console reveals that web2py-bootstrap3.js is trying to call the function "web2py.validate_entropy", which is in web2py.js, but cannot find it.

The error is:
 ReferenceError: web2py is not defined. (line 14, posn 7 of web2py-bootstrap3.js).

I'm not sure how to make web2py-bootstrap3.js see web2py.js.

Can someone please look into this and post a fix? TY.

web2py.validate_entropy in web2py.js is inside a closure, so cannot be accessed in web2py-bootstrap3.js. This is a bug -- the ajax_fields function was copied from web2py.js, and the reference to web2py.validate_entropy was left as is, even though the variable "web2py" is not defined in web2py-bootstrap3.js. You can fix it by changing:

      web2py.validate_entropy($(this));

to:

      $.web2py.validate_entropy($(this));

Note, this problem only arises if you add the IS_STRONG validator to db.auth_user.password.requires (which is not the default). In that case, the PasswordWidget in sqlhtml.py adds a "data-web2py_entropy", which triggers the call to the above line. The reason the menus don't work properly is because the above line breaks the Javascript code.

Note, this has already been fixed in the master branch, so should be fine in the next release.

Perfect, thank you.
