Hello All, 

Im having some problems with the opensocial javascript API. Looks like the API is throwing a lot of errors, and at some point the errors are fatal and stop the execution of the rest of the code. 

errors, in sequence:

    '_events' is null or is not an object -   myspace_ruv5pd6u.js, line 1 Character 33674

    'undefined' is null or is not an object -   myspace_ruv5pd6u.js, line 1 Character 33689

   '_events' is null or is not an object  - myspace_ruv5pd6u.js, line 1 Character 33702

  '_events' is null or is not an object  - myspace_ruv5pd6u.js, line 1 Character 33728

  'addEventListener' is null or is not an object  - myspace_ruv5pd6u.js, line 1 Character 33752

  'undefined' is null or is not an object  myspace_ruv5pd6u.js, line 1 Character 33830

  'attachEvent' is null or is not an object  myspace_ruv5pd6u.js, line 1 Character 33865

  'undefined' is null or is not an object  myspace_ruv5pd6u.js, line 1 Character 33948

  'length' is null or is not an object  myspace_ruv5pd6u.js, line 1 Character 33973

Here the errors become fatal

  The object dont give support for the property or method myopenspace.v09.018.js, line 2 Character 34123

   Function missing  myspace_ruv5pd6u.js, line 1 Character 28147

 After ignoring this errors, the script works as normal. In firefox, none of the errors is showing.

 What is your appID and can you send me steps so I can see this for myself in your app? I presume this is only happening in IE?

thanks,

Joel

To reproduce, just access the application. All the javascript errors take place in the loading process, when i try to get some information from myspace regarding the user.

If it helps, happens near the time when i try to get the information from the friends of the user, both in internet explorer and in minefield 3.7a5 with firebug activated, as i deactivate firebug it runs without problems. Firefox 3.6 runs the code ok too, with or without firebug activated.

Can you send me the source code on your canvas page? Are you using code from MyspaceID JSL or some other source? I have not seen this issue come up for any other developer before.

thanks,

Joel

 Of course. But you just accept message from friends, so you need to provide me an email or something like that where i can send the code to you. And about the sources, i use myspace javascript sources and mixpanel too, but i had removed mixpanel code and the error persists.

 Actually, I will troubleshoot it another way. I will get back to you.

 Ok Joel, maybe i had discovered the error. It occurs exactly when i try to get the gender of the viewer. Removing the fields param solve the problem, but i still cant find a workaround for this. Any help is appreciated. The code is

var fields = [opensocial.Person.Field.ABOUT_ME,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.AGE,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.BODY_TYPE,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.BOOKS,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.CHILDREN,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.CURRENT_LOCATION,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.DATE_OF_BIRTH,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.DRINKER,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.ETHNICITY,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.GENDER,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.HAS_APP,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.HEROES,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.ID,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.INTERESTS,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.JOBS,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.LOOKING_FOR,

                    opensocial.Person.Field.SMOKER,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.STATUS,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.THUMBNAIL_URL,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.TV_SHOWS,
                    opensocial.Person.Field.URLS,
                    MyOpenSpace.Person.Field.MEDIUM_IMAGE,
                    MyOpenSpace.Person.Field.LARGE_IMAGE];

params = {};
    params[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.PROFILE_DETAILS] = fields;

    var viewerReq = os.newFetchPersonRequest(opensocial.IdSpec.PersonId.VIEWER,params);

dataReqObj.add(viewerReq, "viewer");

 William,

I have one of our experts looking into this now. If you have any news, let me know. 

We will hopefully get back to you shortly.

thanks,

Joel

 It looks like an issue with Opensocial version, but the team is still investigating.

thanks,

Joel

 Our devs were able to get this to work using the following code:

-->

				var os = opensocial.Container.get();

				var fields = [opensocial.Person.Field.ABOUT_ME,
				opensocial.Person.Field.AGE,
				opensocial.Person.Field.BODY_TYPE,
				opensocial.Person.Field.BOOKS,
				opensocial.Person.Field.CHILDREN,
				opensocial.Person.Field.CURRENT_LOCATION,
				opensocial.Person.Field.DATE_OF_BIRTH,
				opensocial.Person.Field.DRINKER,
				opensocial.Person.Field.ETHNICITY,
				opensocial.Person.Field.GENDER,
				opensocial.Person.Field.HAS_APP,
				opensocial.Person.Field.HEROES,
				opensocial.Person.Field.ID,
				opensocial.Person.Field.INTERESTS,
				opensocial.Person.Field.JOBS,
				opensocial.Person.Field.LOOKING_FOR,
				opensocial.Person.Field.MOVIES,
				opensocial.Person.Field.MUSIC,
				opensocial.Person.Field.NAME,
				opensocial.Person.Field.NETWORK_PRESENCE,
				opensocial.Person.Field.NICKNAME,
				opensocial.Person.Field.PROFILE_SONG,
				opensocial.Person.Field.PROFILE_URL,
				opensocial.Person.Field.RELATIONSHIP_STATUS,
				opensocial.Person.Field.RELIGION,
				opensocial.Person.Field.SEXUAL_ORIENTATION,
				opensocial.Person.Field.SMOKER,
				opensocial.Person.Field.STATUS,
				opensocial.Person.Field.THUMBNAIL_URL,
				opensocial.Person.Field.TV_SHOWS,
				opensocial.Person.Field.URLS,
				MyOpenSpace.Person.Field.MEDIUM_IMAGE,
				MyOpenSpace.Person.Field.LARGE_IMAGE];

				params = {};
				params[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.PROFILE_DETAILS] = fields;

				var viewerReq = os.newFetchPersonRequest(opensocial.IdSpec.PersonId.VIEWER,params);
				debugger;
				var dataReqObj = opensocial.newDataRequest();
				dataReqObj.add(viewerReq, "viewer");
				var postBack = function(data){
					debugger;
					var myData = data;
				}
				dataReqObj.send(postBack);
					
				//

Everything will work except gender unless you set the proper permission to get this value using the request permission method or in the settings of the application.

please help me with these Javascript Errors. Thank You!!!

I think it started with my game on my space Texasholdem by Zinga same message continues popping up on my friends request after I have denied them same message repeats itself
