TOPIC: [SOLVED] IE 8 and 9 Registration Form Error

I don't know if I'm the only one having this problem or not, but when using IE8 or 9 and loading the registration form, the page gets redirected to a jumbled mess. I've run the debugger on it in IE9 and it points to this:

if ( rscriptType.test( node.type || "" ) &&

The file is: components/com_dtregister/assets/js/dt_jquery.js

On line 5972

I've done a little digging and found many others having a problem with the same syntax not functioning in IE8 and 9. We've had 3 people call the office today saying they cannot register because of this and they're all using IE 8 or 9. I know it's old and they should upgrade, but is there a way around this?

What version of DT Register and Joomla are you running? We're not getting other reports of this... but if you'll submit a ticket with admin access and a link to where we could potentially see this, that would help.

Thanks Nathan,

I just submitted a ticket.

This was caused by my own editing of event/tmpl/price_header.php

All fixed by editing line 37 from

if($feeObj->paid_fee > 0)

to

if($feeObj->paid_fee < 0)

To hide the price on the event due to other cost variables, everything is presented on the next page of the registration process. If you need to hide the price on the form, this edit works, anything else will cause problems.

Another option was given in the ticket that I wanted to leave here for others also...

You can set the base fee of the event as $0 (so no price shows initially), then give the pricing for nurse/doctor from the field selection. Instead of adding or removing for one of the options... make all of the pricing come from the field. Then you won't have to modify any files.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the tip, but we initially were going to go that direction. Then we realized the price changes were being displayed at the top of the page after a fee field is selected. That's why we had to find an alternative to avoid having people trying to register with the wrong information just to get a better price. The approach I'm using probably won't be needed by most people, but it is what we need for our site.

Thanks again!
