From: Mechphisto on 14 Jul 2010 14:49 I couldn't find an Ajax group to ask this in -- this is the closest related group I could find. If someone could point me to one, I'd appreciate it. (If there's anyone except spammers using this group. Sheesh!) I've a Web page I put together which uses javascript and Google API Ajax to return to the page a display of files the user uploads. It used to work great, and then today I noticed it's no longer working. Could something have changed with the .js files it's linking to? It's at http://www.girlscoutsmoheartland.org/photos/upload/imageupload.php The files still upload to the server just fine, but it's no longer displaying onto the page the result of the browse...upload. I Googled for the files, but as far as I can tell I'm linking to the latest ones: <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/ jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/ jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/ jqueryui/1.7.2/themes/ui-darkness/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" media="all" /> so, maybe that's not the issue...but the fact it worked great, no one on this end touched it, and now it doesn't work, leads me to think it's something on the linked .js end. I appreciate any help or suggestions! Liam

This might be better asked in the jQuery group if you're using a jQuery function. (I didn't look closely enough to know if you are using jQuery for your uploads at all, so this may not be relevant.) I noticed that you include jQuery twice, once a packed version of 1.0.4 from your server, and a minified version of 1.3.2 from Google's CDN. It might help to get rid of one. -- Scott

A google search for [jquery googleapies], <http://www.google.com/search?q=jquery+googleapis> has in the results page <http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlibs/> which contains the linked text "jquery" leading to <http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlibs/documentation/index.html#jquery>, which has: | name: jquery | versions: 1.2.3, 1.2.6, 1.3.0, 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.4.0, 1.4.1, 1.4.2 | ... | path: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js | path(u): http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.js - and - | name: jqueryui | versions: 1.5.2, 1.5.3, 1.6, 1.7.0, 1.7.1, 1.7.2, 1.7.3, 1.8.0, | 1.8.1, 1.8.2 | path: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.2/jquery-ui.min.js | path(u): http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.2/jquery-ui.js Compare that to your code: > <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/ > jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> What you have there is not the latest version. > <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/ > jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> Nor is that the latest verson of jQuery UI.

Your post reads along the lines: I used jQuery. It was working. Now it doesn't work. Why doesn't it work anymore? While it is not possible to give a specific answer, I can verify that this sort of post is not new to the NG and you will likely get other replies that verify that. So what do you do now? You can compare what you want to do with what you are doing. You could read: <http://jibbering.com/faq/notes/posting/#ps1DontWork>, which might help you think about the problem and after you do that, you can break up the problem into smaller problems that can be posed as specific questions which can be answered in a technical manner. If the program was not fulfilling the user stories and use cases well, then it may be best to redo it. -- Garrett

If so, that actually points to a check that alerts the user if they don't have javascript enabled, they need to or the page won't work. But, just to see if that is causing an issue, I tried again without that line, and same thing. Thanks again, Liam

I assure you, the first thing I did was check to see if there were different versions. My search path, I don't recall. My failure is not that I didn't investigate, but that I investigated poorly and found erroneous info regarding latest versions. (I changed the links to the latest version numbers, and that didn't help.) I understand the necessity of parsing "it didn't work" with expectations. The problem here is that it's not a problem of not getting something to work that never worked before, but rather one of it used to work just fine, then suddenly it stopped. If nothing changed on my end, logic dictates the problem is on the end of wherever I'm linking a file from. (Or, maybe a change at my server's host. I suppose that's possible, but when dealing with javascript/Ajax... client-side behavior, I'm not sure how that would be.) If I need to start over (oh god!!) then I suppose I have to. But I'm sure you can understand my position in which I spent days making this work in the first place, it works great and all is happy, then through no action on my part it stops working -- why I want to start by pursuing options that may be quick fixes before I start redoing things. In my experience, there have been many times I've presented more experienced and knowledgeable people why a problem, and someone says something like, "ah, you simply have a foo where a bar should be," and bang! it's fixed. I'm not going to pass up the possibility that something like that may not happen here. (E.g.: someone pointing out I'm linking to the wrong version number because my Google-fu is sucky. Didn't work in this case, but if it had, I'm going to take the opportunity to have that chance.) Thanks, Liam |
