'null' is null or not an Object form.js

Hi.
this error was driving me up the wall ... and thought i would share this issue ..
what it boils down to is document/website compatibility  ... :(
so by implementing the appropriate compatibility mode, a SharePoint site can ensure compatibility with Internet Explorer 8 until the service pack is release to support IE8 compatibilty issues.

Thanks

Crawler Coverts URL's to lowercase

Hi.



We had to crawl a system outside of SharePoint ... a custom CMS with a database table that holds all the data.

Strange problem where sharepoint was changing the URL's to lowercase...

and the crawler was not picking it up as valid URL's.

With a bit of googling i found this HOTFIX: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932619

once you apply the hotfix and recrawl the content source ... you should be good!!!!!!!!!!!!.
By the way also check the CRAWL RULES as i had to do this before i would get any results as well...
