CS3 Install Java Script Error

Hello,
For reasons of economy and if it ain't broke, don't fix it, I'm still running with a G5 Dual 2.0 PowerPC at 10.4.11 for my music and photography studio. Married, two lovely children and an adorable wife, so can't afford to upgrade, and anyway, it works. Mostly.
I have two boot disks, cloned using SuperDupa which I test regularly. I've recently been having a few minor niggles so I decided to rebuild one of the disks from scratch as this hasn't been done in a couple of years. Erase the disk using Disk Utility, clean os-x install from the original disks, patch the system using Software Update then bit by bit load all the applications and gradually rebuild the whole system.
All going well until I get to Adobe CS3. When I run setup to install CS3 I get the following error;
JavaScript Alert
Critical errors were found in the setup
- The installer database is invalid: please re-install the product from the original media. Please see Setup log file for details.
I've done some research and found that this is mostly about an unclean uninstall of CS3 when reinstalling, and is fixed by either running a CS5 cleanup program, which doesn't apply in this case as I've done a clean install (and it won't run anyway) and the boot disk is the only disk mounted. The other fix is to erase the disk and do a clean o/s install, which is I've done. That hasn't worked either.
I've tried running the setup on the other boot disk (at 10.4.11) and also on my MacBook Pro (at 10.6.8) and it works both times.
Any clues would be apprecaited.
thanks and regards
Simon

Well, I have a fix, but not the cause.
original boot disk is already cloned using SuperDupa so I have a backup
erase second disk and run a custom install of os-x from the orginal 10.4 disks (including OS 9 Classic)
custom install - printers and language translators not included
X11 not incuded
run Software Update to patch the system
run Onyx
install CS3 from original disks - fails with JavaScript alert
copy /library/applicaiton support/adobe/installers/big_long_number/payloads +resources +setup from original boot disk to rebuild disk
install CS3 - works perfectly
I'm at a loss here. It seems that my reinstall of 10.4 is putting something into the Adobe installers area which the install of CS3 doesn't like. What that might be is beyond me. Adobe Reader might be a cuiprite but I haven't installed anything at this stage.
So, there's the work around; no idea what the cause might be. I'l try again sometime soon when I rebuild the MacBook Pro (10.6.8) but that's going to be a while yet.
Thanks all,
Simon

Keep getting java script errors in DW CS3

I have been using Dreamweaver CS3 and had not had problems up to last month or so. Now I keep getting Java errors and java script errors whenever i try to put a file to my site or even on some task boxes that have undefined in the command box instead of the normal command. I am wondering if downloading product again could help but i worry about licensing problem. It seems like there is no support for CS3 Dreamweaver.
I resent the fact i may have to upgrade to Dreamweaver CS5. IF I do can I just upgrade Dreamweaver and not the other programs as part of the web design suite? My last upgrade was the CS3 web design suite.
Gary

Thanks for the suggestion, I followed the links and instructions and still have same problem. Very frustrating as I cannot get any phone support, actually i was told Dreamweaver CS3 is not being supported anymore, and I was directed to this forum.
Kind of makes me not like Adobe and I am going to search for another web building program. Once I calm down I may consider just upgrading to CS 5 Dreamweaver. Do I have to upgrade the entire Web Design suite or can I just upgrade Dreamweaver?
Another option is to try and reinstall but I worry I can run into licensing problems (I think I ran into this before as destop and laptop crashed and had to reinstall).

Java Script Error in downloading CS3 Master Collection

I just bought a new MacBook Pro and I went to download my CS3 Master Collection. In the middle of downloading Disc 1 I got a kernel telling my to push the power button until the computer shuts off and turn it on again. Then when I tried to redownload Disc 1 it gives me an error message. "Java Script Error and says to download using the original media, but I AM using the ORIGINAL MEDIA. Anyone ever have this problem? I already tried pulling out the partial download from applications but it did not help. I cannot use my CS3 Master Collection now unless I figure out how to fix this problem.

clear your adobe.com cookies or use a different browser or dl from prodesigntools.com
to dl from prodesigntools.com:
if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials Here (incl. After Effects) | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

Installation of Adobe Flash 11.7.700.169 fails w/Java script errors

I am getting very frustrated with Adobe software, it seems that nearly every time I try to update my flash player the update Flash player process fails with a java script error.
I currently am running Adobe Flash player: 11.6.602.180
My system is running 32-bit Windows XP, SP3, all patches to date, IE v8.0.6001.18702.
When I try to install the Adobe Flash player update to 11.7.700.169 the process always fails with the following....
A pop up to the screen from IE, titled: "Internet Explorer Script Error"
The message displayed on the screen is:
   An error has occured on the script on this page.
   Line: 1
   Char: 15965
   Error: Object Expected
Code: 0
URL: http://127.0.0.1/app/_js/adobe.js
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? <Yes>/<No>
No matter what choice I make the install fails (choosing yes causes more Script Error messages to appear, before it finally hangs).
I have followed the steps suggested on the 'Troubleshooting page', yes Active Scripts are enabled within IE
I also have tried turning off all AV and Firewalls when performing installation, yet I get the same errors.
Thanks,
Mark Reynolds

Hi and Welcome to the forums!

I believe for java script error I have to delete all device software and reinstall. Is that correct and what is the correct procedure?
IMHO, you'd need to describe the error better than that before leaping to the treatment plan that you are describing. Please describe the symptom with more details if you'd like different recommendations.
Best.

Java Script Errors when clicking on several opened documents

All of a sudden I started having problems shutting down
Dreamweaver MX 6.1
Later , when I open two or more documents I get an error when
I click on the document in the background.
A series of dialog boxes come after eachother and say the
following:
1. While executing Browse_back enabled in toolbars.xml, a
java script error occurred
2. While executing Browse_back enabled in toolbars.xml, a
java script error occurred
3. While executing Browse_forwrad enabled in toolbars.xml, a
java script error occurred
4. While executing Browse_stop enabled in toolbars.xml, a
java script error occurred
5. While executing get current value in AddressURL.htm
enabled in toolbars.xml, a java script error occurred
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program several times
and it did not help. I have also installed Dreamweaver MX 6.1
updaters with no change.

You can try this simple fix -
Quit DW.
Find this folder -
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\WinFileCache-*.dat
(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use
Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options to unhide them)
or on Mac -
Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Dreamweaver
8/Configuration/MacFileCache-*.dat
and delete it.
Restart DW. Works better?

When I click on firefox I get a java script error that says "TypeError: Components.classes[TvtPwmComponent_CID] is undefined", what does that mean?

Whenever I click on firefox, or when a pop-up occurs, I get a java script error that says, "TypeError: Components.classes[TvtPwmComponent_CID] is undefined". I don't know why. It first occurred while I was on ESPN while trying to watch college games live.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Java Script Error

Saved various websites which I was researching a trip with and about a week later opened them all up and got this error.
Java Script: error in konaSafe reporting it gave me the option to click OK which I did and it repeated itself 3 times before it quit.
Any idea what is happening here
Thanks

I'm using Safari 5.1.7 and I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Intel.
Ok I did a bit more experimenting and it turned out to be just one of the half a dozen web sites that I had archived during my research for a trip.
When I had gone back to them and opened them up I did so as a block and that's when I got the error.
This time I opened them one by one and found that just one of them was the culprit.
It appeared that somehow an Add company called Invite had superimposed a Lufthanser rental add across part of the website which prevented me from using the website until I had clicked on their rental link.
I searched for and brought up the original website from Google and it opened up without the Add and I didn't get the Java Script error.
Don't know just why only one of my original saved websites was affected but I'm sure that the Add by Invite had been the problem. I have now opted out of that company's add program not that I had ever opted in.
Thanks Brody for the suggestions and help.

All-11-otn4.js - Page Stops responding due to Java script error

Hi,
I am getting java script error in all-11-otn4.js. My page becomes unresponisve and I am getting the cause as all-11-otn4.js file. After this error I cannot do any thing in page, I need to restart IE.
I am navigating from one View state to another View state and then again comming back to original view state. When I am comming back to Original View state, I am getting this error.
- Sujay

Hi,
what you describe doesn't help solving the issue. What do you mean by "I am navigating from one View state to another View state" ? Also it seems that you on a non production version of JDeveloper11 (TP4), so can you pelase try a production version ?

How do i disable a java script error that pops up everytime i click on something?

java script error Error: Permission denied to access property 'host'
this continues to come up every time i click on something. this has only started since i downloaded firefox 4.0. how do i disable the pop up or do i just stop using 4.0? would go back to the last version but when i try to download that i'm told the files are corrupted

Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

When opening firefox 3.6.8 I get a java script error at line 323

When trying to open Firefox 3.6.8, I get a java script error:
[JavaScript Error: "dir is null" {file: "file:///C:/Users/My%20Computer/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/lk5mbar9.default/extensions/%7B0538E3E3-7E9B-4d49-8831-A227C80A7AD3%7D/components/nsForecastfox.js" line: 323}]' when calling method: [ffIDiskService::get]
If I cancel the error message, FF opens, but then my google search bar will not search & then FF freezes up. I'm using Windows7.

That is a problem with the Forecastfox extension.
