Uncaught TypeError

[JackGoa]

Hi, I'm busy developing a site an noticed an error I have not seen before in Chrome's Developer Tools.

I'm not too clued up with Javascript and whatnot, so just bringing it to your attention:

VM328:1 Uncaught TypeError: this.findClassUp is not a function

Look like a problem with some of your JS, when eval'ing your code on a load event on one of your element. Hence the "eval at runLoadEvent".

It should probably be this.element.findClassUp().

Although tbh it'd be better to start using jQuery(this.element).closest('.whatever'), as findClassUp() is an old Mootools method, which got deprecated years ago, and we added to our Mootools extension class.

Aha. I know where that problem is. It's a field I added a very long time ago to stop bots from filling in this form. You still gave me that, but as I said, it's very, very long ago. It does a PHP Validation:

return empty($data);

And then the Javascript code is:

var container = this.findClassUp('fabrikElementContainer');
container.parentNode.removeChild(container);

I unpublished that field now and the error goes away.

Can this perhaps be done with one of the pre-defined actions now? I don't really know how to read that Javascript.

 

[cheesegrits]

Nope, no predefined action, but ...

jQuery(this.element).closest('.fabrikElementContainer').parent().remove();

... should do it. If you have more than one element per row in the group, you may need to leave out the parent().

-- hugh

hi hugh, thanks, that seems to take away the error. i do have more than one element in the group, so removed the parent() bit. thanks for that!
