javascript formatting issue

[rd4]

Does anyone know if there is a setting in RH8 HTML to format the scripts correctly?  Having to update the format each time the library is published will be a pain.

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">//<![CDATA[
if( typeof( TextPopupInit ) != 'function' ) TextPopupInit = new Function();
TextPopupInit('a2','POPUP380679909');
//]]>

</script>

instead of:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">//<![CDATA[
if( typeof( TextPopupInit ) != 'function' ) TextPopupInit = new Function();
TextPopupInit('a2','POPUP380679909');
//]]></script>

Hi there

Aside from human readability, is it causing problems?

Cheers... Rick

Hi Rick,

Yes, currently external users connected to https via vpn are receiving a javascript error as it's not in the correct format the vpn accepts.  Users currently can't open any of the javascript links such as the textpopup feature.

Thanks

Hmmm, interesting. That's the first I've ever heard where this would cause issues. Strange.

I suppose you could run a massive search and replace using a tool such as FAR or BKReplace.

Using FAR, for example, you would search:

Starting with: //]]>
Ending with: </script>
Replace with: //]]></script

You'd have to check your particular workflow to decide whether to run this against your source code before you Generate/Publish or against your output code after you Generate/Publish.

We run FAR batch files scheduled by Z-Cron, and FAR is insanely fast.

Good luck,
Leon

thanks Rick and Leon... i'll look into using FAR to update the code.
