runtime errors on main mi page?
Has anyone else been getting runtime errors on the morning improv blog page? I suspect that page isn't broken but I just want to rule that option out. It seems to be blowing up at line 10, 20 and 30. giving an object expected error.
Thanks!
Thanks!
That's what Netscape JS console tells me.Security Error: Content at http://www.scottmccloud.com/comics/mi/mi.html may not load or link to file:///80%20GB%20Drive/Users/scottmcleod/Library/Preferences/Adobe/GoLive/Settings/JScripts/GlobalScripts/CSScriptLib.js.
Error: CSInit is not defined
Source File: http://www.scottmccloud.com/comics/mi/mi.html
Line: 11
Error: CSScriptInit is not defined
The JS file with the follover function isn't linking, and I doubt that's the proper path down there.
<script type="text/javascript" src="file:///80%20GB%20Drive/Users/scottmcleod/Library/Preferences/Adobe/GoLive/Settings/JScripts/GlobalScripts/CSScriptLib.js"></script>

Yeah, I've been getting the same JS errors on the MI main page for months.
I get an error messsage everytime the page loads. It's calling a function that it can't find. The same happens when you mousover the top menu bottons.
I examined the page's code. I have to agree with Fett. The pathname looks like it for a local harddrive, not a web server.
On an unrelated note, maybe Scott is related to Gavin McLeod after all.

While we're on a the subject.
And when you select a doctyle, it gives about 200 or so errors for HTML2, 3.2, 4.01, and XHTML. Then again, no one but us geeks care so long as it renders right.
Should also note that jpwoo may still be crazy, but not when it comes to JS errors on the main page.

Jesus, only use the validator if you need to find out why your page doesn't work, or you're in the mood to feel like a schmuck because your page can't live up to 1992 web-standards. Alt tags for images? If you cant see images, you shouldn't be wasting your time visitng webcomics.Fett101 wrote:While we're on a the subject.
HTML is a pretty fluent language and as long as you make sure that your page works in the top three browsers, that's all you'll need.

Try it now. Any difference?
GoLive has this maddening habit of inserting local addresses, such as when I move a document out of a folder; instead of just taking one of my "../"s out, the program lists its absolute location on my friggin' hard drive. Thought I caught those but apparently I missed one.
One of these days, I'll just switch to Dreamweaver, but I have more urgent things to spend my money on right now. (Like Ween albums, dammit).

I'm still not seeing rollovers working on that page (they do work on you index page, though). The JavaScript console claims an error in line 8:Scott McCloud wrote:Try it now. Any difference?
Code: Select all
CSInit is not defined
CSInit[CSInit.length] = new Array(CSILoad,/*CMP*/'button',/*URL*/'../../-menu/1a.gif',/*URL*/'../../-menu/1b.gif',/*URL*/'../../-menu/1c.gif','');
Well, I'm fluent in English and I'm sure you meant "fluid." The point of saying that is to raise the fact that many browsers, like humans, can parse less-than-perfect input and still arrive at a meaningful conclusion. That doesn't mean non-compliant HTML is correct- Only that it's good enough for current browsers. More and more, these days, people are accessing the web using technologies other than desktop (or laptop) PCs using traditional web-browsers and it's those kinds of situations that standards are all about. ALT tags for comics? Well, there's a good argument to be made there, that anyone surfing with something that doesn't show images probably isn't interested in comics, but you never know. You don't know who's surfing with the images turned off in their browser because they like to surf quickly, or kill ads, or whatever. For casual, hobby or personal sites, you can probably leave them out, but for professional sites, they're a good idea. Many people have evangelized web standards so I'll give it a rest here. You are right, after all, that for most people's sites, blogs and webcomics, standards aren't a critical or crucial issue, but anyone who's serious about web design should look into making valid code.William Beckerson wrote:HTML is a pretty fluent language and as long as you make sure that your page works in the top three browsers, that's all you'll need.

The fact that the index page works was an eye opener.
I found a lot of differences, so I duped the index's head and other relevant code and just brought it in (with a few modifications).
Please tell me if this works now:

The "miNew.html" page seems to work error-free on my browser. Now all you have to do is link it to your main page. The old page links are still there. Or change the name of the new page to that of the old one.
Sorry for causing you extra headaches, Scott. Web page coding can be a royal pain in the tuchas, sometimes.
So how's Uncle Gavin doing?

That's not causing any errors that my browser can detect (Firefox 0.8, WinXP). The JavaScript console is clean, clean.Scott McCloud wrote:Please tell me if this works now:

Or even better, dancing robot monkeys.
Not to give you more headaches, Scott, but the MI archive page has the same errors that need to be fixed.
