ok i have a probleme with the latest version of mambo. Everytime a i log in and go to a page that got an editor in it i get the IE javascript error pop-up that says :error a runtime error as ocure do you wich do debug line :170 error: expected ')'. i have try reinstalling one 3 different servers (one mac os x server, one redhat, one freeBSD) i get the same error everytime one each server. i try to use different editors (default, htmlarea3_xtd and fckeditor) each time the only thing that change in the line number for exemple with fckeditor the message is line: 154 expected ')' :? can anyone help ? this is a straight install with no ad-on. each server is running dozens of sites (non-mambo but all using php/mysql) without issues.

i am lost here please help

It sounds like something happened to one of the files during the installation.

Messages of that nature usually have a second part that identifies the file where the error is occuring. This should identify the problem file. If the problem is not in that file, it could be in one of the include/require files. You might consider replacing the file set (not your database). If configuration.php exists, the new file set should just load and you can check again to see if the problem persists.

this is a javascript error there is no aditional information about the file but thanks i will take all the help i can get

Does this problem happen on http://demo.mamboserver.com ?

Also, I wonder if you have any add-on tools integrated into your IE that could be causing any problems. Not likely, but possible. (I think.)

What editor were you using when the message appeared?

This isn't a Mambo error. Your script debugger thinks it found an error. That debugger is famous for reporting errors that do not exist. It assumes that the Javascript is coded to Microsoft specifications and not necessarily the original Netscape specification.

Can you use the editor without problems after clicking No. If so, I would turn the script debugger off through the Advanced tab in Internet Options.

yes everything seems to work fine if i just say no but i want to know why do i get this error on all my mambo instalation (now 3 of them) this is hardly normal and leave me with the headhacke of explaining to all users that can edit content to turn script debuging off. Also i have looked on multiple windows xp machine and they all give me the error so its no sommething with my particular computer. I have made nomberous searchs on mambo forums and i have found at least half a dozen pepole with the same issue but no one ansewred or understand the probleme. Its a mambo issue since i can change editor and still get the same error (except for the line number)

It's a Microsoft issue and always has been. Microsoft did not develop Javascript, Netscape did. The rules used by the debugger to validate code have had problems since it was first released in 1995. It never gets fixed because it's virtually impossible to post bug reports to the company.
