Found the source of my error.

I'm running firefox, with the NoScript extension installed, and I work on a whitelist-only basis (i.e. execution of Javascript is disabled for any site unless I specifically place it into a whitelist). The upgrade requires client-side execution of Javascript from a site named yahooapi.com. I'll look at it further before deciding whether or not to place it in my whitelist.

Edit: the scripts being used are from an opensource user interface library named YUL used to build "richly interactive applications in web browsers" (consistent with the problems I had by not having that site allowed to execute Javascript).

I haven't been grumpy yet. But in a few minutes, God, I'm going to get out of bed, and from then on I'm going to need a lot more help. AMEN Last edited by grumpy; May 9th, 2008 at 5:33 PM.
