Media uploader error in IE7

[duncanmc]

When I use media uploader for sending images, I am getting object not found errors in IE7. I can not insert images or gallery.

Steps to produce

1) Click on Add an Image button

Image uploader form appers, but IE7 gives Object expected error at media-upload.php file. Error is at the script

<!-- jQuery(function($){

var preloaded = $(".media-item.preloaded"); if ( preloaded.length > 0 ) {

preloaded.each(function(){prepareMediaItem({id:this.id.replace(/[^0-9]/g, )},);});

} updateMediaForm();

});

Error line is

updateMediaForm();

If I ignore the message and upload a file, the image previews do not show. Also I can not click on Show button and I can not save or insert image.

I tried after clearing browser cache, but it does not work. I tried Firefox and saw that Firefox is working perfectly fine. The problem is only at IE7.

I am using WampServer based on php and apache latest versions.

Dupe of #6443

It is not a dupe of #6443 . I applied the fix for #6443, but I still get the same problem. They are not related.

I too am experiencing the exact same error with IE7. With Firefox I do not experience the error.

+1 on a friend's IE setup.

Exactly same issue here on both of my IE7s (Vista 32Bit SP1 + XP 32Bit SP2).

(Changed Component property from TinyMCE to Administration since this doesnt occure with TinyMCE only. Experienced the same issue with deactivated TinyMCE.)

I am not an expert, but perhaps this problem is similar to a problem some people had on some platforms with WP2.5.1 when they tried to insert media (no problems with the upload). Only a white box appeared. This was (in my case) also linked with an object-not-found error-message with IE7. I found a fix for that problem in a german forum. It's a change in the file /wp-admin/js/media-upload.js . Here is the code (the old values are commented out):

/* var win = window.opener ? window.opener : window.dialogArguments; if ( !win ) win = top; */ var win = parent;

To be honest, I don't know why this patch helped to fix my problem, but now it works! Perhaps this is also a solution for this ticket?

Milestone 2.5.2 deleted

Probably a similar error to #7310 and fixable in a similar way.

Is this still a live issue with 2.7? I've tested the uploader on a few different setups windows and linux and it works. Closing as worksforme.
