Re: [Proto-Scripty] Ajax Updater running from a DVD under IE8

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 20:03:21 -0800

I have a cut-down example for anyone who has a moment to test. The linked zip contains these files: 

_1.html
_2.html
_3.html
_4.html
_5.html
_6.html
_7.html
_8.html
_9.html
index.html
prototype.js

http://scripty.walterdavisstudio.com/local_ajax.zip
The page works fine under Safari or Chrome or Firefox on the PC when run locally (file:/// url) but fails to work in IE 8. IE8 shows an "active content" warning, then when I okay that, nothing further happens. IE6 shows the same warning, but once you okay it, everything works fine. 

Thanks in advance,

Walter

I'm doing a GET request using Ajax.Updater, and as far as I know, GET will work without a server. I use it all the time to test form layouts in a browser on my local computer.
I have a random quotation that loads into a DIV on the home page (you can see it here: http://files.libertyfund.org/pll ). It works in IE6, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari on the PC, Firefox Chrome, and Safari on the Mac. It just rubs IE8 the wrong way -- but only when run from the DVD.

Um, maybe I'm whack, but...
Doesn't an AJAX request need an HTTP server?  Am I correct in
understanding that you are just trying to distribute files/static
content?

Sorry to bump this so soon, but my client is getting itchy. Has anyone seen anything like this, where an Ajax Updater will not run in a local 
file context under IE8? No errors on screen, but no updated content,
either. I've updated to 1.6.1, moved my call to the updater from a
document.observe to a Yahoo-style script block before /body, to no
avail.

Thanks,

Walter

I have a site that gets distributed on DVD as a "portable library".
IE8 users are complaining that an element I am loading into the home
page using Ajax Updater is not appearing at all for them. The
problem only seems to happen when the site is accessed from the DVD.
If you visit the preview version of the site here:

http://files.libertyfund.org/pll

everything loads just fine under any browser.

This site is using 1.6.0.3, I haven't updated it yet to 1.6.1, and I
can't recall if there was any work done in this area between those
two versions.

Does this ring any bells for anyone? Is it going to be fix-able, or
do you suspect it might be one of those IE "features"?

Thanks in advance,

Walter
