Are you sure you are using EQ2MAP Updater , as it don't use scripts or java ?????

[Xarcara]

net framework is installed and if its not a java error is some kind of code error for whatever.

if i bring up the debugger this is what i get:

Microsoft JScript Runtime error: Object expected

and then it breaks at this point

<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-1459431-32";
urchinTracker(); <-----------


so you can se why i thought it was a java error

jnils I bet that script error is coming from the news page being desplayed inside the updater. Maybe Xarcara needs to clear their cache if you cache this page like you to the maplist.

Sorry, Landiin is right, its the News page that fails, but i don't know why.

See if you can open it in your normal browser.

the news page loads in my browsers and loads in the updater just fine. I cleared my cache in the auto-updater folder same issue


there are actually two breaks in the script, marked below
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-1459431-32";
urchinTracker(); <---------
</script>
<!-- Start Quantcast tag -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://edge.quantserve.com/quant.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_qacct="p-80xBzMhbKolFI";quantserve(); <--------

Neither one of the two websites will load in my browser.

hope that helps

Those are both indeed part of the update page (http://maps.eq2interface.com/updates.html). You might want to check to make sure that your security settings are not too high. If you prevent execution of javascript for the Internet zone in Internet Explorer then this might be the cause of your problems.

[Xarcara]

checked the settings in both Internet explorer and Mozzila and in internet options all java and scripting related settings are enabled

[Xarcara]

just wondering if anyone had come up with a solution or am i fracked

[jnils]

It has to bee a setting or firewall at your end.

[Drumstix42]

Possibly try adding the updater exe to window's firewall exceptions?

[Xarcara]

im assuming this is a dead stick but just to fyi i get the problem with or without my firewalls up and with it added to my exception list
