Cannot open links on some sites Topic is solved

[Nixal]

This is concerning Pale Moon 27.6.2 32-bit on Windows 7.

The issue happens on at least these two sites:
https://europe.beyerdynamic.com/catalog ... gory/1464/
https://rog.asus.com/

On the Beyerdynamic site, I cannot customize the headset. No matter which option I click on, nothing happens. Cannot choose colors, cannot choose impedance, cannot choose materials - nothing. It's like I never clicked on anything. This used to work before.

On the ASUS ROG site, I cannot open any of the articles by clicking the pictures. Such as when clicking the limited edition 1080 Ti picture, nothing happens. It doesn't matter if I click the arrow in each box or not.

I tried clearing cache before I uninstalled the browser completely and did a clean reinstall so I could have a fresh profile and everything but the problem persists. No site override seems to work either.

Both pages use ecmascript features - which are enforced by Google and other big companies on the web these days- which are not supported in Pale Moon until someone can be found who is implementing them. As there is no work-around for that issue you have to use another browser for pages like that.

I tried some older versions of Pale Moon but it didn't help. It was possible for me to customize the headset before, so in that case the Beyerdynamic site must have been changed recently. I guess I will have to use another browser for these sites.

As said... That pages require a new "standard" from the ecmascript list - which is NOT implemented in Pale Moon right now. And until there is someone who can do that task, there is no work-around for that issue, so another browser is your only viable option right now for pages like that.

Hello,

I am using Pale Moon 27.7.2 (64-bit) and when I am on Newser.com when I go to click on the comments box the pointer does not change from an arrow to a hand but it does work. When I do this on Pale Moon 27.7.2 (32-bit) the pointer DOES change to a hand and works.

Additionally when I was using the site TaxAct to do my taxes, NONE of the click-able boxes would work using Pale Moon 27.7.2 (32-bit). I switched to HR Block's site to do my taxes and it all worked properly.

Thanks,

Nick

If you mean the Disqus comments, i see a hand here with the 64 Bit version. And to the topic of TaxAct... go to the page part which made issues, and then open web developer - error console and web developer - web console then start to click around on the elements which do not work and copy-paste-post in here possible errors which occur. But not warnings, actual errors. Perhaps someone who has an understanding of that will take a look then.

Hello,

I found another problem. I cannot log into Fox News. I get the same issue. A hand is there and I click on the log in but nothing happens.

What about replace ecmascript shits by an extension like greasmonkey to normal scripting that palemoon could handle?

Pale Moon has right now a missing set of some ECMAScript specifications which are recently adopted from more and more pages - Problem will be solved when UXP is coming. You can use Basilisk for now for all that pages which started to refuse to work properly with Pale Moon.

How about throwing all that ECMAscript garbage to the trash and start over again with SANE standards which are supported by ALL browsers in an equal way - not implemented by some money and influence corrupted lobby p*gs

Confirmed with PM 27.7.2. But same problem also exists here with current Basilisk (2018-02-14) and Firefox 52.6esr.
(using Win 7 x86)

You have Waterfox or a later Firefox version around? I suggest you try out, would be interesting to see if it happens after the ESR 52 - As ido not have Basilisk on my own, perhaps you can see if you get some errors in the Basilisk error console/web console - and if there, create a Github post in the UXP issue tracker. If that page really has issues also with Basilisk, then i am pretty sure Moonchild is highly interested in finding out/getting rid of already that early available incompatibilities.

Basilisks seems handle rog.asus.com.

Do it, have you my best regards

ECMAScript is JavaScript...

Update:
I was able to load the foxnews login page in both PM 27.7.2 and Basilisk - though not easily or reliably.
For both browsers it took (usually) numerous clicks, and also (usually) a wait of several minutes after the front page loaded before clicking "login" would redirect to the login page.

@Nick2018, Maybe for now the most reliable way to access foxnews' login page is bookmark/use the link in the error you posted earlier (it's quoted here). That link opens the login page for me every time with no trouble.

ECMAScript is JavaScript...

Assume that Palemoon has imperfect clumsy js engine, where is difficult to enable new scripting, and it is difficult to create new engine from scratch either. So to make an addon that will translate ecmascript js to normal js which palemoon handle can be way out.

ECMAScript is "normal" JS. ECMAScript is the standardization of JavaScript.

Hello,

Concerning the Fox News website, I could always get to the log in page but after entering my log in information and clicking to log in nothing would happen. Now it appears that the same thing is happening with Firefox ESR and even Internet Explorer 11. So there has to be something going on with the web site itself.

In doing all of this testing I installed Basilisk. I do like it however I accidentally discovered that this link to CBS 60 Minutes video will open but I cannot get the video to work. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/oprah-foll ... -michigan/

It DOES work in Pale Moon, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. I cannot explain or understand what the problem could be.

Thanks,

Nick

For issues with Basilisk please make a separate thread in Basilisk's dedicated support board:
https://forum.palemoon.org/viewforum.php?f=61

(And as a general practice, please open a separate thread for each specific issue/specific site for which you want support.)
