uTorrent webui with Firefox 3 Beta

[pino227]

I'm not sure if there is a topic about this all ready but I registered just to say that after installing Firefox 3 Beta, I noticed that I could not access my uTorrent via webui.

Is there a fix for this? If not I hope that it will be fixed by the time Firefox 3 is released.

Thanks

If the problem persists by the time it's in RC testing phase, then I'd be more worried. At this point, I'd chalk it up as some kind of rendering regression in Firefox.

[fnorgel]

It's a problem with the javascript code, and not a rendering regression. The error is:

Error: document.styleSheets[n].href has no properties
Source File: http://www.paradroid.net:6502/gui/stable.js
Line: 1

There are only two references to document.styleSheets, and they look like so:

if (document.styleSheets[n].href.indexOf("stable.css") == -1) {
  continue;
}

Changing it to:

if (!document.styleSheets[n].href || document.styleSheets[n].href.indexOf("stable.css") == -1) {
  continue;
}

fixes it.

To fix it yourself, extract stable.js from webui.zip, search and replace

document.styleSheets[n].href.indexOf("stable.css")

with

!document.styleSheets[n].href||document.styleSheets[n].href.indexOf("stable.css")

and then put the updated stable.js back in webui.zip.

fnorgel: it's not working. I have the same error before and after.

[fnorgel]

Did you restart uTorrent? It certainly works here.

[Hypnotize]

Yes I have. In the log, it stops at: GET /gui/images/blank.gif.

All I have is the Loading screen and nothing else.

Did anyone actually got this to work?

I tried the fix mentioned, but whenever I load the WebUI, only thing show up is "Loading..." in the center of the page.

It is beta, wait for a new beta or a RC before worrying about it, heh.

after messing around fro 30mins getting the zip to actuly work, i still get a error..

document.styleSheets[n].href is null
dxSTable()stable.js (line 1)
dxSTable(div#List.stable, [Object text=Name width=200px type=0 enabled=true, Object text=Status width=100px type=0 enabled=true, Object text=Size width=60px type=1 enabled=true, 13 more...])stable.js (line 1)
init()script.js (line 1)

I think the spec has changed.

FYI:

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:stylesheet.href

At the bottom notes says that for inline styles, document.styleSheets[0].href always return NULL.

Hope developers can resolve this issue.

[jewelisheaven]

Good point and thanks for the link. I'm sure once there's a stable release of Firefox Directrix will check out current code against it and make things work. As-is right now beta browser means the same as beta client Although technically 1.8 is still pre-beta.

I have found a fix to get the WebUI to work on firefox 3 Beta 3, however, I am unaware of the consequences that could occur by doing this. It is similar to what fnorgal posted earlier. Just open up stable.js from the zip file and find this code:

if (document.styleSheets[n].href.indexOf("stable.css") == -1) {
  continue;
}

replace it with this:

continue;

Then put stable.js back into the zip file.

This stops any error by removing any mention of document.styleSheets[n].href, but I am unsure if it will cause problems down the road. All I know for now is that it allows me to access everything from my firefox.

@ computerwolf

you think you can up a version of your webui.zip that works somewhere, Ive tried to no avail. I think being that I use a mac, "archive files" messes something up.

If you could up it somewhere I would be forever indebted. This is the only thing keeping me from using Firefox 3

thanks

[jewelisheaven]

FF3 Beta 3 is out, and I'm sure the in-dev build of the WebUI works with it too, unfortunately it is not getting a new release until (hopefully) uT 1.8 goes stable or at least a RC.

Puckface Firefox 3 is not stable yet. It is still in-development. I'd be surprised if macs can't handle ZIP files...

[puckface]

All I was doing is making a request, can that really hurt?

just trying to get it to work, maybe its zips, maybe im a dumbass.... either way.. just a request.

[computerwolf]

Here is your modified zip:http://blazingwolf.com/webui.zip

[tomgarner]

Well, I have the same problem as well, and unfortunately computerwolf's zip didn't work for me at this time... but I am working on firefox 3 Beta, so I'm not expecting miracles..

Otherwise, WebUI works just as advertised in IE... ohh well... but thanks for a great product!

[Lord Alderaan]

It has been reported that the new webui will work on Fx3.

[codeoflife]

I'd like to report that computerwolf's fix works for me in Firefox 3.0Beta4

[jonatj]

computerwolf's webui.zip fixed FF3b4 and now I can use WebUI on my iPhone with Safari Mobile.

Sweet!

[jewelisheaven]

That's great as an interim Considering I heard b4 was the last RC. And remember, webui development is still continuing even though there's no news.

I'm having somewhat the same issue. At first, I could only get the first 1 or 2 torrents to show a properties menu, but after adding. deleting torrents, none work now.

The error I get on the remote side, on the logger tab is;

JS error: [1] args[2] has no properties

I'm using the latest stable Firefox release, not the 3 beta, I've also made sure I have the latest Java version.

This also happens with and older version of Netscape I keep around, and this happens on several remote machines.

The system in a Win2K machine, that is pretty much stripped down, i.e. not much in the way of software except for torrent related stuff, utorrent, peerguardian, an IRC client, AV, and various media players. Other than that, there isn't much else.

I've also tried the modified webui.zip mentioned above, exact same error.

Ideas anyone?

[nabilalk]

I'm happy to report that computerwolf's WebUI fix is successfully working on Firefox 3 Beta 5

[zanozik]

I confirm that computerwolf's zip worked with uTorrent 1.7.7 on WinXP SP3. Browser used IE7 from localhost and FF3B5 from remote Ubuntu 8.04. So far no errors or "consequences" Good job, computerwolf!

PS FF3 will not be released until July 2008, so it's best to grab mentioned zip while it's online!

I confirm that computerwolf's zip works with µTorrent 1.7.7 on Firefox RC1. Running on Vista Ultimate no issues so far. Good work mate
