Description Roland Wolters 2007-07-07 23:11:56 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Since some days now the Wordpress.com blog Dashboard does not work properly anymore: the data (new comments, news, etc.) are not shown anymore, instead there is now a javascript warning:
Fehler: https://liquidat.wordpress.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.1.3: TypeError: Null value
Fehler: https://j.wordpress.com/wp-includes/js/feedback.js?1: TypeError: Value undefined (result of expression new jQuery(document)[jQuery.fn.ready ? "ready" : "load"]) is not an object. Cannot be called.
Fehler: https://liquidat.wordpress.com/wp-admin/: TypeError: Value undefined (result of expression new jQuery(document)[jQuery.fn.ready ? "ready" : "load"]) is not an object. Cannot be called.
(Fehler means Error)

I already tried to contact the Wordpress.com people to ask what they have changed but until now there was no answer.

If you want to test the error: wordpress.com is free to sing up. The was already a demo account created once for Konqueror bugs:

This a bug in jQuery 1.3.1 library they are using. That version assumes that only 4 web browsers exist: IE, Mozilla, Safari and Opera (hey, progress over assuming 2), and bombs out when parsing the user agent string under that assumption. You can get around it by faking as an another browser; the proper fix is to ask the WordPress people to update to jQuery 1.3.1.1

Thanks for the quick response, I will submit the update suggestion via the wordpress feedback system.

well, I was going to say you can use the Global Dashboard ( http://dashboard.wordpress.com/ ) instead - but now it's broken too! :(

Comment 4 Maksim Orlovich 2007-07-08 08:04:34 UTC

.. And like the local one, it works just fine if you fake as mozilla

Comment 5 Chani 2007-07-08 08:12:54 UTC

hey, they fixed it already! nice.

Comment 6 Roland Wolters 2007-07-09 19:16:47 UTC

Today I got the answer that they updated the library as Maksim said, everything works again.
