If I muck around in a Tag Tool enabled field, then push Save on the node form, I get this JavaScript error:

An HTTP error 0 occurred.
mysite.com/taxonomy/autocomplete/2

it works fine after I dismiss the alert and save the node, but obviously this is not ideal behavior :)

Also, this is a site I moved servers. It does NOT have the problem on one - only on the other. Is there any other info I can give to help figure it out?

thanks!!

I haven't used this module, but I've seen this error in other contexts. When I have encountered it, it is because the base_url is set to something like http://www.example.com and you are visiting http://example.com. It was hard to track down and can seem random or appear to only happen on certain servers. I would recommend opening up your settings.php file and checking the base_url.

Firebug can help a lot with errors like this. Just watch the HTTP requests and see what really happens under the hood.

This can also happen if you use SecurePages module and have pages to use it set to node/add* & node/*/edit which will set your URL to https:// and your in your settings.php have the base_url set to something like http://www.my-drupal-site.com. You can still add and enter categories, you just can't use the "Auto Complete" function.

If you are the only editor and administrator or you have a trusted staff of admins and editors I would remove node/add* & node/*/edit from the list. (It is only needed on publicly editable websites)

I had the same problem with autocomplete on a multilanguage site
with languages based by domain name

example

fr.gie.tv
en.gie.tv
it.gie.tv
de.tv
etc...

When I'm on content page and i want to translaite i got the bug

example : french admin translate an italian content

http://fr.gie.tv/node/add/videopage?translation=20&language=it

I found that the pb was the domain name
autocomplete call "http://it.gie.tv/taxonomy/autocomplete/belissima"
but the domain where the file is called is fr.gie.tv

So this is a security issue I think.

My solution was to hack autocomplete.js (I know it's bad but i have had to find a very quick solution) for calling a php proxy.

In Drupal.ACDB.prototype.search function (line 270)

I added :

if( db.uri.search("/taxonomy/autocomplete/"))
db.uri = window.location.protocol + '//'+window.location.host + '/taxonomy-autocomplete-proxy.php?uri='+db.uri +'/'+ Drupal.encodeURIComponent(searchString);

And i replaced :
url: db.uri +'/'+ Drupal.encodeURIComponent(searchString),

by :

url: db.uri,

here it is my proxy code

$files  = scandir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/sites');

if (isset($_GET['uri']))
{	
	$hash = explode('/', $_GET['uri']);	
	if(in_array($hash[2], $files))
		$vfile = strip_tags($_GET['uri']);
}
readfile($vfile)

that's worked for me.

Is there a better solution which will no need to hack autocomplete.js ?

thank you
