Description
it appears that the javascript insertion (in urlify_footer()) is being triggered prematurely, on the /node/add page which gives a list of content types. The inserted script generates a script error because document.getElementById("edit-path") has no properties (it returns null, so dereferencing it to access the .onchange property triggers a script error.)
This is a major problem in IE, as some people get a script error popup on every visit to that page:
---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
A Runtime Error has occurred.
Do you wish to Debug?
Line: 169
Error: 'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------Less of an issue in firefox, since ff doesn't pop up an error message.
So, it appears that the function _urlify_insert_js() is returning true when it shouldn't.

inactivist,
Thanks for the report. It should now be fixed in all versions.

Hey, I'm using the latest and greatest Drupal mod you have listed for 4.7, and I am still getting a document.getElementById error in IE when I go to any node/add page:
Error: 'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an objectIt goes away when I turn off URLify.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
