Issue Summary

I get an unterminated string constant error from IE8. This is the line from the page source:

addthis_options = 'aim, aolfav, ask, backflip, ballhype, blinklist, blogmarks, bluedot, buzz, delicious,

The popup addthis button is not displaying properly on IE - no background.

I too am having the popup display problem, but only in IE (tested 7 & 8) and with a particular theme Hiroshige http://drupal.org/project/hiroshige (in other words, if you change theme to Garland it works fine). Firefox (tested 3.5) works fine.

To be specific, when you rollover on the share icon, a pop-up occurs but it is totally unformatted, has no white background, has no little logos next to the words (the words still link), the text is in the same font as the rest of the site, and the lightbox for "more..." totally fails to load on the screen (it fills the entire page with unformatted links).

Have you seen this before? Can you offer any pointers to look for in the theme's CSS/tpl.php files for what might be responsible for this in IE?

Many thanks.

I am also having the same issue. I have also noticed that it is breaking up panel pages. I am currently using Advanced Profile Kit and Advanced Forum and whenever those two modules are using Panels to display content, it ends up breaking up the layout and css styles.

Unfortunately I don't have IE installed on any computer and can not test this myself. Hopefully somebody else wil be able to solve this. Sorry.

Obviously no one is motivated enough to fix this (probably too niche problem). Closing issue.

I know this is an old/closed issue, but I came across this too recently. The cause for me was double quotes in the node title. I changed the double quotes to single quotes and the problem went away (not an ideal solution). This is for IE 8. I didn't have this problem on Firefox 3.5 (for Windows or Linux), so it is specific to IE.

I had the same error but suspected that this had something to do with the extra charachters that CK Editor adds. I found by excluding the body field (where you see 'aim, aolfav, ask, backflip, ballhype, blinklist, blogmarks, bluedot, buzz, delicious' etc...) in the Global settings of CKEditor, this problem went away. Worked for me. Hope it helps.,

I can't find where to exclude the body field. In the global settings of CKEditor I found the different profiles and I assume this should be in the Global Profile, but I'm not seeing any of the items you discuss above (aim, aolfav, ask, backflip, ballhype, blinklist, blogmarks, bluedot, buzz, delicious' etc.)

I am looking at "http://www.example.com/admin/settings/ckeditor/editg" Am I in the right place to exclude the body field????

Thanks!

Hi,
just go to admin/settings/ckeditor, select the CKEditor Global Profile, and in the Visibility Settings, exclude the page "admin/settings/addthis.edit-addthis-options" without the quotes.
