Script errors when trying to view pictures at Homedepot.com

Too bad the end user has to pay because the web-designer failed to test his deign (his/her website) to work with ALL browsers.  This is a really good example to all web designers of what NOT to do!

I tried accessing the link via Firefox from down here in Australia & it worked fine. I would probably try these fixes to see if they solve the problem.

First, completely clear your Firefox caches (both memory & disk). I use Empty Cache Button :: Add-ons for Firefox as it clears the caches & then reloads the current page without any need to restart the browser. Then try loading the page that is having problems.

If the problem persists after clearing the caches, install this addon: Local Load :: Add-ons for Firefox. It stores the common Google jscript libraries on your local drive, so your browser does not need to request & download them every time you visit a site which requires them to load.

If you still have problems after trying the above solutions, I would recommend starting Firefox in safe mode (from a terminal run firefox --safe-mode). That way you can see if the site loads when your addons are disabled. If it does, then you may need to remove your addons one-at-a-time until you find the one that is causing the problem.

Cheers (and good luck)

I tried each and every one of your suggestions above and it still fails with the script error.

Works fine in the UK too, in both 32 and 64 bit, using FF.

The Google script is called incorrectly, lacking its http: protocol.

Code: [Select]

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
This generates File not found from the server, so that script can't be loaded. (Is the ":4" at the end of the error message a truncated ":404" perhaps?). But in that case, how is FF obtaining the http: for its dialogue box in O-P's screenshot? As a '/'-led link it should be appended to the existing domain. This implies the UK is getting a different page from the US, but then why are the prices still in dollars?

What does that script call look like there?

This is what I am seeing here

Script: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js:4

I don't think this issue is caused by a malformed url.  After a bunch of searching I found this

You likely have an infinite loop somewhere in the jQuery code you have written. The :4 just means that the browser is getting stuck on line 4 of the minified jQuery library. But the code will be causing it.

Why does it happen with FF and not Qupzilla? I'm in the US and Qupzilla and QtWeb work perfect. Could it be the java script engine that comes with FF?

I don't think this issue is caused by a malformed url.  After a bunch of searching I found this

Who know why it doesn't happen with the other browsers. Perhaps the browsers are more forgiving to the error then Firefox is.  I remember back when IE would display an html page and Firefox would display an error if the designer forgot to close a tag. I think it is silly for any browser to assume things that are not explicit.

EDIT: After even more searching I see that "jquery.min.js" and Firefox has not played well for sometime. Perhaps this designer should of used the full version of jquery instead of the minimum version of it. Funny since it is released under the GPL why no one has found a solution to this mysterious problem

A copy of the whole jquery.min.js code from their website http://jquery.com/

An even better question is why Firefox does not fail for everybody!

I'm using Firefox en_GB. Maybe that has something to do with it. I notice the ajax code supplied by Google displays in FF as four lines whereas the JQuery code displays as one. In view source I see four lines, but if I wrap it the line breaks disappear. Could it be a character encoding (or line termination) issue?

Hmm, I'll install the en_GB and see.

Yup, that is it.  The en_GB version rendered it right. I tried zoom on different stuff and it worked. Something to do with the en_US version.

I always knew USians could not speak English

So it looks as if this site, aimed at the US, is using a source for a JS library that is not encoded correctly for the US, and as a result only works reliably in other territories! D'you think someone should tell them?

I'll resist the temptation to say this proves the Irish are British really but just like to pretend they're something else. Ooops, was I typing when I thought that?
