My Avatar Plugin Temporarily Disabled Due to IE Error - And a Contest
February 21st, 2007 by Jeff Kee| - Related Posts - |
That plugin was causing the “Stack Overflow at line” error. I do not know the reason why, but when I traced the lines of the errors, they were on the line that had the avatar <img> tag in it. And obviously, the # of errors corresponded with the # of comments on that page.

<img class=”MyAvatars” border=”0″ src=”http://pub.mybloglog.com/coiserv.php?href=http://www.hmtk.com&n=HMTKSteve” onload=” if (this.width > 48) { this.width = 48; this.height = 48; } ; if (this.width < 48) { this.parentNode.title = ‘Iscriviti a MyBlogLog.com!’; this.src=’http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/images/pict_none.gif’; this.onload=void(null); }” alt=”MyAvatars 0.2″/>

There is a sample of it.
When I have time, I will have to try and resolve this issue somehow but right now I have no idea why this is caused…
If anybody figures out how to fix this I will write a full page review dedicated to your website on a Tuesday (highest traffic day for me somehow), even if your website sells sex toys online. I swear.
RSS ME!!!
Damn! I wish i knew coding!!
Eh. Was gonna review your blog anyways, nothing lost!!
There is a problem with the mybloglog script at their site. Mine and John Chow’s are reporting the same error in IE. Easy fix, ban IE!!!
Is that like the stop spam by deleting your email?
yes, stop blue screen by deleting windows
Hi Jeff
Unfortunately I’m scratching my head with EXACTLY the same problem!
You can see the stacking problem happening here in IE7: (I beleive in happens in IE6 too)

I’ve just been trawling the web to to try and find a solution… unfortunately no joy yet.
I’ll gladly give you a shout if I come up with something - likeways I’d appreciate if you could post a solution if you find one!

If I find a solution I’ll put it on CNN.. this has been bugging me so much!!! God.
I’m gonna see if I can ask John Chow - his blog has it, but I don’t get the stack overflow error when I go to his site - but I do get that Javascript error warning at the bottom which always tracks back to one of the avatars on a comment… But it’s better than having the error pop-up all the time interrupting the pageviews.
You guys are not alone. I tried installing MyAvatars and also get the stack overflow problem. We WILL find a solution… maybe.
I think I’ve found a workaround! Take a look at the comments on my site and see if everything works okay. It seems alright in IE7 and FF but I haven’t checked in IE6 (perhaps you could?).
It’s a dodgy fix which might mess things up for some people (maybe Gravatar users?)…
You know, rather than paste code in here, I think I’ll write a post about it. There was nothing on Google connecting MyAvatars to Stack Overflows, so it might be useful to people. Oh, what the heck, I’ll try and paste the code here anyway…
At the bottom of “myavatars.php”, change this:
——————————————————————————-
” target=”_blank” title=”">
” onload=” if (this.width > 48) { this.width = 48; this.height = 48; } ; if (this.width this.onload=void(null); }” alt=”MyAvatars 0.2″/>
——————————————————————————-
to this:
——————————————————————————-
” target=”_blank” title=”">
” height=”48″ width=”48″ alt=”MyAvatars 0.2″/>
——————————————————————————-
I’ll be surprised if that code shows up in these comments, but basically I cut out all the onload stuff in the A tag, and forced the images to 48 pixels.
Ha! I didn’t expect the code to show up properly, but you can see what I cut out and what I did to the image sizes. Phew!
By the way, do you think avatars look better on the left or the right?
I actually just dumped MyBlogLog permanently from my site. There are way too many rumours out there about Yahoo abusing the confidential info as well as using it to track users adsense info. That on top of the problems with their security made the decision easy.
