Re: Array in Formatter throws an error "Null or not an object"

IE is well known for excessive caching, I find that the following headers on the server side help discourage IE:

header('Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate'); // HTTP/1.1
header('Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT'); // Date in the past
header('Content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8');

The last one is just for JSON data. This usually convinces IE not to cache the information.

Yes, correct.

But concerning: header('Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate'); // HTTP/1.1

I tried this already, but it did not change the behavior of MSIE.

PLUS:
If I use this header in Firefox it messes up the unset of some session variables.

IF I log out with:
unset($_session['user']) // (example)
header('location: somepage.html');

THEN pushing on the back button of FF will get me back on the session-protected page... (that is the page where I logged out from.)

This is the log out function I use
Code:
// logout the user
function userLogOut(){
   unset($_SESSION['loggedin']);
   header("location: ".ROOT_URL."/index.html");
}


And this is the function I use to set the session (on boot of the page)

Code:
function initSession(){
   ini_set("session.use_trans_sid", false);
   ini_set('url_rewriter.tags', '');
   $time = 3600;
   session_set_cookie_params($time);
   // start session
   session_start();
   session_regenerate_id(); //delete_old_session
   $newSession = session_id();
    session_write_close();
    session_id($newSession);
    session_start();
   //
}


ps: but of course that is a completely different discussion...

UPDATE:
header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
this seems to do the trick in FF...

Is it safe to assume that if I want to use YUI in a production environment that users must be encouraged to use FF, Safari, whatever, as long as it isn't MSIE?

No, not at all. YAHOO uses YUI on its own site and its open to every sort of browser. You have some problem somewhere which is not evident in the segments of code you show, much less without formatting.

Could the problem be timing related?
Maybe the loading sequence is different between browsers.

I was about to suggest the same. Seeing all the calls to asyncRequest I believe so, that would also explain why sometimes it works in IE, when the reply is cached, the timing is completely altered. Use the logger utility to show you what happens when and see if that fits with what you meant. You won't be able to use breakpoints or alert boxes to find out because that would also alter the timing.

I think I have found the trigger of the problem, but I don't know how to solve it yet.

With YAHOO.log I have noticed a variation in timing between the formatter and my custom DropdownCellEditor (of the same key).
In Safari and FF the custom editor mostly triggers first, but sometimes (1/20) the browser reacts like Explorer by loading eternally (MSIE always triggers the formatter first).

This is the LOG on succes (bottom to top):

Code:
INFO 108ms (+0) 20:36:20 GMT+01:00:
global
listofusers[posnum].label in formatter: Verified users
INFO 108ms (+0) 20:36:20 GMT+01:00:
global
posnum in formatter: 2
INFO 108ms (+0) 20:36:20 GMT+01:00:
global
listofusers[posnum].label in formatter: Everybody
INFO 108ms (+22) 20:36:20 GMT+01:00:
global
posnum in formatter: 0
INFO 86ms (+65) 20:36:20 GMT+01:00:

LogReader  instance0
LogReader initialized
INFO 0ms (+0) 20:36:20 GMT+01:00:

This is the LOG on failure:

Code:
INFO 142ms (+26) 20:35:28 GMT+01:00:
global
listofusers[0].label in Custom Editor : Everybody
INFO 116ms (+89) 20:35:28 GMT+01:00:

By the way:

Does anybody knows what this error (in JSLint) means:

Implied global: YAHOO 1,3,43,45,49,56,61,88,90,95,98,107,112,155,158,159,160,171,177,182,212,219,224,260,262,283,290,295,317,322,332,333,342,419,428,441,470, escape 14,76,127,197,239,310, alert 65,70,116,121,186,191,228,233,299,304,451
