Just Read fails to open due to invalid HTML attribute about just-read HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks a lot! Firefox does work again (6.0.3) ... :-)

Hey Jens, thanks for posting!

I recently updated Just Read to use Readability.js from Mozilla, which is what Firefox uses in its reader view, for Just Read's auto-selection because it outperformed the very simple auto-selection algorithm that I came up with for Just Read.

From what I can tell, it looks like at least some of this website is rendered using Vue.js and it uses an HTML attribute of @click, which is not a valid HTML attribute and breaks Readability.js.

I went ahead and raised an issue with Readability.js. If they are responsive I am betting it will get fixed pretty quickly because I think it's a pretty simple fix.

I can also catch this error and fall back to the old method of auto-selection in Just Read. I didn't do that originally because I assumed that Readability.js would never error like this (it never did in my tests). I'll get that updated tonight (probably ~12 hours from now).

The changes to the original page are expected -- Readability.js and Just Read remove things from the original page for performance reasons. If Just Read fails to load then the original page ends up in a broken state.

Hi Zach,

great + thanks for letting me know! Will check during the next couple of days after your update!

Best, Jens

I just pushed version 6.0.1 to the webstores which should handle this situation and work on sites like these. It will take some time to reach your devices. Let me know when you get it to confirm it works for you!

It looks like the submission in Chrome failed so I re-submitted now. It should work in Firefox now but in Chrome it will take a few more hours.
