Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2008Deffered Script File Fails to download
We have an application that has worked fine for a very long time. The application uses external vbs script files to hold most of the client side scripting on the classic asp pages. The script files are "included" on the page using a regular script tag but they use the Defer tag. Recently several users started to complain that some pages in the application are not working right. We figured out the errors they were getting and reproduced them by removing the script files from the server. This similates the browser not properly downloading the script files. There are only 4 reported users having this issue out of about 500. Since they users are not all using the same web server to view this application and that other users using the same server are not getting hte problem we have deteremined that it has to be something installed recently but we havent been able to determine anytthing. Has anyone else experienced an issue where deferred scripts are not being downloaded properly and do you knwo what you did to fix it? You need to do more troubleshooting IMHO: What do those 4 users have in common (e.g., IE7; Windows & Service Pack versions; security software) that they don't have in common with the other 496 users?

HI Dwyden, This simi(x/u)lates the browser not properly downloading the script files. - The browser does not download the includes from your asp pages. Do you mean the browser is not downloading the client side external scripts. This can occur because of firewall settings or the hosts file settings blocking the url from which the external script files are being sourced. Typically on public access web pages you will see error messages for "urchin is undefined" in web pages that have links to the Google Adwords scripts. First download http://www.debugbar.com - it will list the dom, stylesheets and external scripts that your client is chaching. Any blocked scripts will have a link tag, but no content. You may also like to use the IE Developer Toolbar - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e59c3964-672d-4511-bb3e -2d5e1db91038&displaylang=en IF you need to examine the response headers and the download cache. The tool of choice for this is http://www.fiddlertool.com Regards. > We have an application that has worked fine for a very long time.
