The Undefined Object Error is back again - thanks to my collapsable posts hack. If you click on the Older Posts link, you get the screen I showed in this picture.
In my last post I showed you my most recent hack to have expandable/collapsable peekaboo-posts, based on the work of Ramani.
I noticed that the Undefined Object Error that devastated my Blog last week, had returned. Luckily, I had saved my old template, and some uploading of templates proved what I suspected: implementing the hack leads to this horrible screendump.
Check it out for yourself, in 3 steps.
Step 1: download and backup your current template.
Step 2: get my template with peekaboo posts, and upload it to your blog.
Check for yourself how nice it works, and how shocking the screendump is when cliking older posts.
Step 3: get my template with normal posts, and upload it to your blog. The Older Posts link will work fine again.
I checked ou several Blogs, and found this bug on the following blogs:
- Hackosphere
- Hoctro (several pages down)
- Phydeaux3

hi Hans,
does it make a difference if we are using different web browser?
thanks for your hacks!
Hans, this bug doesn't seem to be caused by our hack. it happens in other blogs which don't use it too, as you found. So, let's not bother about it apart from reporting in our blogs.
Btw, I added a link to your collapseable version in my "Beta hacks from neighborhood" section and added a link to your blog also.
Hi Ramani, I agree on not worrying too much. But, as I explained in my post: the bug manifests itself after installing the hack. I reloaded the old template (without the hack) and the bug was gone.
We'll see what happens in the final new Blogger version.
Thanks for the links!
The bug seems to be fixed now.
Ramani, on my blog it still appears (at least, with me it does). If you browse my blog, do you still see it happen?
Hans, the error didn't show up in Firefox. But if i try with IE now, it shows up. It seems to be totally random.
Can you send me the code that you used for checkFullPost()? Is it working now?
Our blog error dumps if you click "older posts" twice using Ff. IE dumps on the first click. Opera9 didn't dump at all.
