Recognising I'm probably doing something stupid...

I'm trying to install the Acquia Slate 3 theme. The install instructions say to install jQuery Update 6.x-2.x-dev.

After installing the module, I find I can no longer create new Book outlines during a Book page creation. When I try, something tries to download a file ( filename formxxxxx where xxxxx appears random) to my local machine, and the new Outline isn't created. If I disable jQuery Update, I can new pages assigned to new Outlines.

The same thing happens if I try to use the 6.x-2.0-alpha1 release.

As I said at the top, I'm probably doing something dumb - but I can't see what it is yet. On the other hand, my Drupal expertise can be summarised as ' can spell it right 8 times out of 10 with assistance.'

My thanks for any comment/ input, and my apology if I'm putting this in the wrong place.

I can also confirm that the broken Book/ download file behaviour does not happen with jQuery Update 6.x-1.1

I'm modifying this to bug status. I'm doing that because I've tried it a number of times and the behaviour appears consistent. I have no evidence that it affects/ behaves that way for anybody but me, so if this is the wrong thing to do please feel free to smack me upside the head and send me to the back of the room with the pointy hat on.

Herewith a screenshot of a sample file that gets downloaded just in case it helps.

Additional investigation:
The behaviour does not appear to happen ( that is, Book Outlines create and no file download is created) if I disable the optional Core Upload module ( Drupal 6.19).

And now I find myself even more confused. Because I disabled Upload and added filefield. The minute I created an upload field, Book New Outline failed again the same way. It seems so far that any form of Upload capable configuration leads to the Book module breaking for me. I will now go and try to find a brick wall to knock my head against and see if I can work out what I've fouled up.

Examining further:

The issue occurs with IE 6 as a browser.
The issue occurs with IE 8 as a browser.

(I couldn't talk myself into re-installing IE 7 as a browser. Yes, I'm a bad person)

The issue does NOT occur using the Mozilla 5 browser installed on my IronKey.

Thanks for the update, Felix. Unfortunately (or fortunately - I love the theme :-) ), I'm using Acquia Slate, which needs Skinr 2, which needs... jquery update. So I can't disable it. But at least it's good to know where the issue may be rooted.

My thanks again :-).

Issue tags: +jQuery, +forms.js

I replaced the file replace/jquery.form.js to the latest version, 2.73 (03-MAY-2011) from github
nothing changed, problem still there, flushed all caches to be sure

Safari works

This is the content of the file that gets downloaded:

{ "status": false, "data": "" }

The file name is FORMxyz.js where xyz looks like randome characters

Disabling jQuery Update, uninstalling the module via the Uninstall module page, then installing the 6.x-2.x-dev version fixed the issue for me.
