Hi,

What is the error you get? And did you set permissions if you mean you cant see the channel?

I did a test and I have the same problem.

Think it's a bug.

Explorer would also return to a functional state if I disable the /me command.
Ok I mark this is in the bug list and will check it out.
Was this with any /me text or was there a specific text ?

Seems any text is accepted but not able to display with the other chats in IE. I typed test, 'test' with single quotes and "test" with double quotes just to try to figure out anything to make it work but once sent, the chat window in IE would freeze with only the refresh spinning icon continually spinning. Other users were obviously unable to chat until I deleted the chat with /me in it. Firefox displayed each with no problems.

Hope that helps and again, thank you.

A node doesn't exist. FireFox is more forgiving when it comes to coding errors. The fix I've incorporated is as follows catching any error that may happen.

This fixes the /me and /slap and possibly any other display issues of special commands in IE.


Code:
mgc_cb_evo_functions.js

 try {
		/* Creation of the username column */
		nchattd	= document.createElement('td');
		nchattd.setAttribute('width','0');
		nchattd.setAttribute('align',mgc_cb_evo_left);
		nchattd.setAttribute('valign',mgc_cb_evo_chat_valign);
		nchattd.setAttribute('noWrap','nowrap');
		nchattd.style.whiteSpace = 'nowrap';
		nchattd.innerHTML = xmlnode.getElementsByTagName('col_uname')[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
		nchatrow.appendChild(nchattd);
 } catch(e) {
		/* Creation of the username column for IE */
		nchattd	= document.createElement('td');
		nchattd.setAttribute('width','0');
		nchattd.setAttribute('align',mgc_cb_evo_left);
		nchattd.setAttribute('valign',mgc_cb_evo_chat_valign);
		nchattd.setAttribute('noWrap','nowrap');
		nchattd.style.whiteSpace = 'nowrap';
		nchatrow.appendChild(nchattd);
}

... and verified as working.

(THANKS!)

I commented out lines 2104 through 2112 and inserted your code and Voila!, its working for both /me and /slaps...

Awesome

had a user report an issue on IE8 where he doesn't see the dropdown menu icon to the left of the username. Could this be related to the fix posted?
