fiVe interesting things

I ran into an issue with my SharePoint Central Administration website recently.  This was in a my development Virtual PC, using IE7.

I would open the SCAW which appeared to be fine, but some of the functionality wasn’t working.  I’d click on certain buttons and nothing would happen.  I then noticed that IE was reporting javascript errors.

I tried using FireFox.  Some of the errors that I saw in IE weren’t in FireFox, but some of SCAW (usually popups) didn’t work.

Rather try to figure out what I did (I’m assuming that I did something that caused this), I decided to remove the Central Admin site and reinstall it.  SO, I used the wizard to remove and then used the wizard to install a fresh SCAW site, which worked fine.

Microsoft released the new version of IE today, IE 8.  I used the Beta last fall (bad), and then the RC they released in January (much better), and I installed the final release tonight.

I haven’t seen much difference yet (from the RC version) but I’ll post anything interesting I see.
