Currency Converter widget not working?

I have issues with the Currency Converter widget.

Once i download it, no currency list/drop down menu is shown, and nothing happens when i input a number in any of the fields, is it just me?

Thanks.

Same here. Dropdown menus don't work. Opera 9.23/WinXP.

Looks like some kind of parsing problem with the data at http://www.imf.org/external/np/fin/data/rms_mth.aspx?tsvflag=y&reporttype=CVSDR&archive=1 .

I'm getting

Unhandled exception: [Object DOMException]
code: 11
message: INVALID_STATE_ERR

suggesting a parsing error in the data. Have they changed the format?

Looks like jhonnysaucepn is right. It seems the site itself is delivaring invalid data though (as opposed to the format changing), for instance see the invalid results on this page: http://www.imf.org/external/np/fin/data/rms_mth.aspx?SelectDate=2007-09-30&reportType=CVSDR

Hopefully they will fix the problem soon and the widget will continue working.

The widget was updated today and now works fine, just to let you know

It appears that the page has changed layout again.. at the time of this post the widget cannot retrieve the currency data

The Notes in xsl file is breaking the parsing. You can fix it by commenting the line 109 of scripts\widget.js file (then the widget will just ignore the remaining lines on error ).

Ayush, either our JS editors (I use Dreamweaver CS3) are using completely different line numbering or your tip does not make much sense. First of all, I do have 'break' in that line, and when I make it a comment the widget has only lists of 'undefined' showing.

The problem with no entries at all was, so it seems, due to the IMF having a holiday break over the past week (or whatever they did). Now only the EURO is missing - sorely, I might add.

Comment the bParsed = false; line not the break; line.

That's interesting. I did not have the line in my widget.JS for the CC, turned out that my update hadn't worked out right. Though I did delete the predecessor CC and then downloaded the new version, it was still the September one in my installation - and that did not have the bParse = False line.

Thank you for your help!
