975666 - Publishing Broken

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webmaker Graveyard :: Thimble, defect)

Description

[Robert Friedman [:omnignorant]]

Attachment: Screenshot after clicking Publish

When I click the Publish button, a) I don't get the publishing prompts and b) the arrangement of the pulldown menus goes haywire!!!

I need to use thimble for a program tomorrow and right now... not possible!

Hi, Robert - could you test this with a different project? you might be encountering that the CSS of your project is actually interfering with Thimble.  Which isn't good, but could help identify the problem.

I'm not able to reproduce that with a fresh project. 

Pomax, maybe you could take a look?

OK, I have been tinkering and have discovered that the javascript is what breaks it. 

Compare an orignal: https://omnignorant.makes.org/thimble/teachtheweb-users
To the non-java: https://omnignorant.makes.org/thimble/teachtheweb-users-no-java

attempting to remix and publish the first breaks, the second works OK.

Oh hey there... yeah, I confirmed everything works with other makes, it appears to be a little javascript that Fuzzy helped me put in there that broke it.

However, I had no problems with it two weeks ago. So something new introduced to Thimble since Work Week did it.

Oh, and also, since this isn't a universal problem, I guess a) it's less critical and b) I can find a workaround for tomorrow.

this should still not be possible, the javascript (which I'm going to have to point out is nothing like java, nor related to it =D) should not be able to interfere with thimble itself, so something really weird is going on here that I need to look into. Thanks for discovering this.

investigated, found, fixed, landed.
