Something very odd is happening with my testing of the new main DL page at:
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/index_new_dl.html and I hope a new set of eyes or braincells or something can help. If you bring up the source of the page you'll see this bit of JS code: ------------------------------------------------------------------ //alert ("hasMirroLink: " + hasMirrorLink() ); if ( hasMirrorLink() ) { document.write( "<h2>" + myURLlink+ "Download Apache OpenOffice " + VERSION + "</a></h2>" + "<p>" + myURLlink + "Click to start downloading the most recent version for " + getPlatform(SCHEMA) + " and " + getLanguage() + "." + "<br/></p>" ); } else { <!-- dump SF extension --> alert("link before replacment: " + LINK); var newLINK = LINK.replace(/\/download$/,""); alert ("link after replacment: " + newLINK); <!-- route everybody to somplace else ??? --> document.write( "<h2><a href='" + newLINK + "' title='" + newLINK + "'>Download Apache OpenOffice</a></h2>" + "<p><a href='" + newLINK + "' title='" + newLINK + "'>Get Apache OpenOffice for " + getLanguage() + " from a Native Language community area.</a></p>" ); } ----------------------------------------------------------------- all is fine when a mirror link is found. However, when one is NOT found here is what is happening to me (I tested with a Solaris UA setup, a platform we are no longer supporting which ended up here): * I get the first alert showing me a proposed downlosd link, which, due to the former code, generates: http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html/download the trailing "/download" is appended for SourceForce requirement... * the edit to ditch the trailing "/download" seems to work and I now see: http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html in second alert. * when I put my mouse OVER the now generated links, I SEE http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html, and this is what shows up in my "message" area of Firefox. But, when I click on the link, I get bounced over to: http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html/download which is of course erroneous...and I get a "404". Any ideas on this at all??? I'm at wits end. I am really trying to get this setup so no one gets thrown over a cliff under any circumstance and this is a puzzle I can't seem to solve. Thanks for any help on this. I'm off to some appointments and I'll check back later... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MzK "Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you And life has a funny way of helping you out Helping you out." -- "Ironic", Alanis Morissette
