TYPO3 Core

After JS compressions disable, there is an uncompressed version of the ExtJS method, which shows the error.

In TYPO3 4.5 this method is the same, so the problem was resolved somewhere else on higher level, probably in rtehtmlarea, as in TYPO3 4.5 it's possible to switch the elements of FormatBlock selector with IE7.

/**
 * Gets the target for the event.
 * @param {String} selector (optional) A simple selector to filter the target or look for an ancestor of the target
 * @param {Number/Mixed} maxDepth (optional) The max depth to
        search as a number or element (defaults to 10 || document.body)
 * @param {Boolean} returnEl (optional) True to return a Ext.Element object instead of DOM node
 * @return {HTMLelement}
 */
getTarget : function(selector, maxDepth, returnEl){
    return selector ? Ext.fly(this.target).findParent(selector, maxDepth, returnEl) : (returnEl ? Ext.get(this.target) : this.target);
},

Getting a similar Ext.fly(...) error with IE7 in 4.5.3. Just opening and saving back a record seems to be enough to trigger it. Looking into it now.

Please adjust the function getTarget() in your ext-all.js from:

return g?Ext.fly(this.target).findParent(g,h,e):(e?Ext.get(this.target):this.target)

to read:

var target=(this.target||window.event.srcElement);return g?Ext.fly(target).findParent(g,h,e):(e?Ext.get(target):target)

The problem is that IE7 doesn't have the target but uses srcElement instead and doesn't populate it below this but attaches the event to the window. This works fine for me in 4.5.3 when working with workspaces. Would appreciate feedback if that helps your issue on 4.4.x as well.

I'll prepare a patch afterwards.

PS: Function is still unchanged upstream even in ExtJS 4.0.2a :-)

Patch set 1 of change I1d7fd80126c980f1fd06ca4b5499e044f91e4147 has been pushed to the review server.
It is available at http://review.typo3.org/3385

Please explain how to reproduce.

Clear the RTE cache using the BE Clear cache menu.

Perhaps something is wrong with your installation.

I have no problem changing the block format in IE7 with TYPO3 4.4.10.

I think this not a real issue, at least not in ExtJS.
The target (this.target) is previously and correctly set using Ext.lib.Event.getTarget(e).

No feedback. Unable to reproduce. Closing the issue.
