Well, for the past week, when I would try to load up Trillian and open my contact list, it would open off screen.  I knew this had to be something with a configuration file, because I had tried to uninstall it and then reinstall it.  So, I set off to find the needed file.

It turns out, it is not that difficult to find.  It is under your install location, Trillian > Users > Default > Buddy configuration file.  In that file, you will see a section that looks like this:

[Window Status]
Visible=true
LocationX=0
LocationY=0
Width=265

My ‘LocationX’ was set to -265.  I closed my open Trillian instance, opened that config file, set the value to 0, saved the config file and started Trillian back up.  And, the rest is history.

As if I did not know any better, I just spent the last hour trying to figure out why I could not access the cookies I was setting.

For all the rookies [and veterans], make sure the domain you are setting the cookie for is correct.

If your login page is on http://domain.com/login.php, then your cookies cannot be accessed from any page that starts with http://www.domain.com/page.php. They can only be accessed from http://domain.com/page.php.

Today, while working, I came across this error:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsIXMLHttpRequest.status]” nsresult: “0×80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)” location: “JS frame :: {file}.js :: anonymous :: line 23″ data: no]
Source File: {file}.js
Line: 23

For sake of security [and just because] I replaced the actual file location with {file}.

Anyway, I am doing an AJAX request upon submission of the form, and [for whatever reason] was doing ‘return true;’ upon completion of the AJAX.

return true;

Well, when a browser is trying to handle a form submission, it doesn’t like this. So, I merely changed the ‘return true;’ to ‘return false;’ and voilà!

A quick thanks to Matt Thommes. Although his solution wasn’t my solution, he got me started thinking on the right track.
