Stay home and stay safe everyone!

Since I reported the bug of JSON Table Editor on Microsoft Edge/Internet Explorer (SCRIPT462: The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable), I kept on digging on how to solve it. Last night, I finally found the bug and resolved it. Here’s how I found the solution to this bug.

So when the child window of JSON Table Editor clicked , it will update the record on the parent window using below method:

// window.opener -> parent Window
// window.opener.childs -> array of child windows
for (var i = 0; i < window.opener.childs.length; i++) {
	var o = window.opener.childs[i];
	// window -> the child window
	if (o.wh === window) {
		// o.record is a reference to record being edited in this child window		
		o.record.set(o.column, _a); // set column value with _a. _a -> array of records in this child window
		window.opener.fnJTEOutput(); // call parent's function to update
		window.opener.Ext.getCmp('btnOutput').enable().break; // Enable parent's btnOutput
	}
}

When we clicked [Finish Editing] on the first child, it works. The parent’s JSON output is showing the updates done in the child window. But when we open another child window, and clicked [Finish Editing], below exception happened on the parent Window:

The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable

Below is where the exception was thrown:

I googled for this error, but the result is mostly VBA/Excel error. Then I saw a discussion on GitHub that says object referenced from pop-up throws error after the pop-up close, in Internet Explorer.

So I did another round of debugging and monitored records on the parent window. I was editing the timelines column. After I modified the array of records under timelines column, I clicked [Finish Editing]. After the child window closed, I inspect the records on the parent window. Bingo!

I repeat above experiments just to make sure. I confirm that before the child window close timelines value was array of records. The moment the child window closed, it becomes like what is shown above. NOTE: This is not happening in other browser (Chrome, Firefox, Opera).

So I changed my code. Instead of passing an object, we serialize it then deserialize using JSON.

for (var i = 0; i < window.opener.childs.length; i++) {
	var o = window.opener.childs[i];
	if (o.wh === window) {
		o.record.set(o.column, Ext.JSON.decode(Ext.JSON.encode(_a)));
		window.opener.fnJTEOutput();
		window.opener.Ext.getCmp('btnOutput').enable().break;
	}
}

But it still didn't work. I then realize my stupid mistake 😀 As long as the updating of parent Window's value is done by the child Window, parent Window still consider the updated value as belongs to the child Window.

So I modified my code again, this time the value update is done on the parent Window:

// checkedOpener -> window.opener
if (checkedOpener) {
	// call parent Window's function
	checkedOpener.fnUpdateStoreRecord(window, Ext.JSON.encode(_a));
	if (window.childs && window.childs.length == 0)
		closeWindow();
}

The value update is now in a new function

var fnUpdateStoreRecord = function (w, _a) {
	for (var i = 0; i < window.childs.length; i++) {
		var o = window.childs[i];
		if (o.wh === w) {			
			// Deserialize before assigning value
			o.record.set(o.column, Ext.JSON.decode(_a));
			window.fnJTEOutput();
			window.Ext.getCmp('btnOutput').enable().break;
		}
	}
}

That's all folks! I hope it helps. It's really like having splinter removed from my finger 😀
