Seen on test2wiki. Checked in IE8/9. On test2wiki in IE, bring up a random page and append "?tour=gettingstarted". No "Ready to help?" lightbox appears. GT is OK in Chrome and FF, although the "Ready to help?" lightbox seems to show up after a slight delay.
I tested on Sauce Labs on IE 8, 9, and 10 on the following URLs, and I can't reproduce this. Can someone else try? https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_%28magazine%29?tour=gettingstarted http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United%20States?tour=gettingstarted
Created attachment 12112 [details] href error a la 47065
This is interesting, the Billboard(magazine) page doesn't show the error on test2, but most others do. This bug is a manifestation of https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47065 and demonstrates the same error on every page I've tried except for "Billboard(magazine)" See screen shot
The screenshot is cut off, and it doesn't say what IE version it is. I tested the URL https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.44575122578663984_Moved?tour=gettingstarted&debug=true in IE 8, and it worked. I was eventually able to reproduce it in IE . The error is not in GT code: SCRIPT380: Invalid property value. load.php?debug=true&lang=en&modules=jquery%2Cmediawiki%2CSpinner%7Cjquery.triggerQueueCallback%2CloadingSpinner%2CmwEmbedUtil%7Cmw.MwEmbedSupport&only=scripts&skin=vector&version=20130415T141616Z, line 10391 character 6 Thus, as far as I can tell, this is an interaction between IE and some styles somewhere. It *might* be GuidedTour styles going through mediawiki.js (which I believe the above refers to). But I'm not sure yet, and if so it doesn't explain why it usually seems to load the guider.
Sorry, I meant to say I reproduced it in IE 9.
This may be related to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/321378/jquery-issue-major-with-ie-all-versions , but I'm not sure yet.
This is caused by the 31 stylesheet limit in IE 9 and below; see bug 47277.
Thanks, PleaseStand. I heard about that limit before, but didn't make the connection. I confirmed that https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.44575122578663984_Moved?tour=gettingstarted&debug=true has over 31 stylesheets (47 in fact). Closing, since the fix is not within the scope of GuidedTour. Reopen if you encounter the bug outside of debug mode.
