Error: Object.create is not a function

Source File: http://www.everyjs.com/js/libs/sproutcore-2.0.a.2.min.js

Line: 9

(Page doesn't list anything for me. Firefox 3.6.15/Mac.)

Good catch! There was a bug in the SproutCore 2.0 developer preview where Object.create was being invoked on platforms where it isn't available. I've put up a new version of SC that fixes this.

Please let me know if you're still having problems. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Works great now, thanks. :-)

You need to upgrade to FF4. (Presumably as SproutCore 2 gets closer to release, it will get better error handling. But the old Firefox is the reason is won't render.)

No, I really don't need to.

3.6 barely runs on my machine as it is; a number of clients are asking me to downgrade them from 4 to 3.6 because of stupid issues like not saving your tabs by default when you close the browser. I have about thirty tabs open in my browser right now, and the last time I upgraded Firefox, it didn't bother to save any of them the next it launched.

I just can't be arsed to go to that much trouble over one website.

edit: (removed snarky edit.)

The landing page for FF4 has a "restore previous session" button on it which opens all your tabs for you if you so desire (just in case you missed that).

Also you can "pin as app tabs" anything that you like to consistently have open.

FF4 also runs considerably faster. I can't imagine wanting to downgrade ...

It's also under the "History" menu item with the same name, in case it just loads the home (which happens usually).

I regret ever upgrading to FF4. It absolutely crawls on both of my machines.

Some problem in Opera 11.11. Now I wonder if it works in any version of IE...

Seeing nothing on Safari 5.0.5/Mac

Wow, that's bad. I accidentally shipped the version of SproutCore 2.0 with property accessors turned on; however, Safari 5 has a bug where this blows up when called on an element, and we've been testing on Lion.

Anyway, fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
