Chrome & IE now broken? #68

Closed 89gsc closed 7 years ago

89gsc commented 7 years ago

I have a very basic implementation of this using on 1 page:

crosstab.on('issue-a-item', function(data) { console.log('Called Crosstab'); $('#barcode-search').val(data.data.barcode); lookupItem(true); });

on another page: $('body').on('click', '.issue-this-item', function(e){ e.preventDefault(); var tr = $(this).closest('tr'); var row = window.LaravelDataTables.dataTableBuilder.row(tr); var data = row.data(); crosstab.broadcast('issue-a-item', { 'barcode' : data.barcode }); setTimeout(function(){ window.close(); },500); });

Still works on firefox but on chrome and IE (IE broke last year) it now gives me the Frozen Tab error on clicking "issue-this-item".

Is there any alternatives to crosstab because I need this to work and I see from another issue you have said that you don't have the motivation to work on this.

You got a timeout at some point and crosstab is caching the timeout to fast-fail. As a temporary measure you can clear your localstorage. There isn't really a working alternative to this project, as the reason I stopped working on this was IE/Edge have issues preventing 100% a correctly working solution.

It looks like there is some progress being made there however so I may start working on this again.

Actually I have switched to this. https://github.com/MarkehMe/TabTalk

Much smaller plugin etc but no more issues on Chrome, IE or Firefox, you have to do a little more work like sending an object with the event name your calling but seems to work without issues.
