Stanford Sirsi catalog gets error when trying to save items

jlavigne
When we try to save items from our catalog (http://socrates.stanford.edu - a somewhat customed version of Sirsi ILink), we get the message "an error occurred while saving this item". This is with Firefox 2.0.0.14. We did try installing the file that reverts the Fx3 change (http://www.zotero.org/download/zotero-1.0.4-loadtest.xpi) but we still get the error. Recently, we added a feature to the catalog that displays links to Google Book info, but these show up only on certain pages and the Zotero error happens with every item we try to save.

    An update to my original post. It looks like the code we added for Google Books is causing the problem since Zotero still works on a test system that doesn't have those changes. We'll do more investigating to see exactly what breaks the Zotero process.

    We found the problem. We had added a comment line in the middle of the bib data:

    <tr>
    <th class="viewmarctags" align="right" valign="top">
    <!-- soc-36 -->
    Title:
    </th>
    <!-- soc-36 -->
    <td class="viewmarctags">
    The gates of horn : a study of five French realists / Harry Levin.
    </td>
    </tr>

    The code that parses the data apparently can't deal with comments like this.
