I have tried different themes and different browsers. It has happened on 3 separate Drupal 7 sites, but seems to happen only on specific items and only some of the time. (See screenshot attached)

It is currently happening on a date filter criteria, as well as when I edit the view header and hit 'apply'.

If there is any other info that would be helpful or something to try to isolate the problem let me know. I don't know where to start as there is no error data to look at.

Can you attach the downloaded file? Perhaps there can be found something in the output.

It might be broken json output.

Sure... currently I am trying to add a 'header' to a view and the problem is happening. I added the .txt extension to the file so I could upload it here... it downloaded with no extension. The file is attached. Thanks for taking a look... this problem seems like it must happen with others' installs as well.

Could you please try to update to the latest version of views? It might be fixed there already.

I have updated to the latest dev version (7.x-3.x-dev) with no change. I cleared all caches twice and reloaded the page. One thing I have noticed is that when this problem happens it appears not everything is loaded in the pop-up. The "more" link on the bottom is never a link as it is in the dialogs where it works. I have posted another screen shot... as you can see the "more" link is only text. I also will post the html of the pop-up as txt file... I suspect everthing is not loading that is supposed to.

Thanks for any help... I have noticed others on Drupal forums who seem to have the same issue.

This kind of output almost always means a javascript crash.

Check your browser's javascript console.

It is usually caused by bad js code in a theme or module, particularly if a theme is changing the version of jquery.

I've tried on several different computers with different browsers and always the same thing.

The error that comes up in the error console when I click to edit the header is "Error: uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression:" with no more details.

I am using the "basic" theme and haven't hacked anything. Thanks.

Do you have enabled any kind of custom modules providing some javascript?
Does your error console describes in which file this error exists?

To find the root of your problem i would try to switch the theme and see whether it's the causer.

Hi
I had the same problem with views, I solved the problem by disabling the module jQuery Update. Reading this post I found this solution, thank you.

As others have said, this is not a Views problem. Some other module (or theme) is causing your problem. Disabling modules and themes until it starts working is wise.

Might also want to try and test your drupal instance on another server, in case it's a server problem (bad mimetypes or something).
