I have created some JavaScript files and they run well from my Mac OS

  • 0

I have created some JavaScript files and they run well from my Mac OS X Server. Now I have put the same JavaScript files on my MS Server 2003. But they don’t work.

Do I have to install something on the server in order to get them work?

EDIT: (Sorry, I’m new and English is not my native language, so its hard for me to describe the situation well) I have downloaded this free Ajax Chat app. After enabling PHP on my Mac, it worked. But on my MS Windows 2003 Server it doesn’t work. I installed PHP and Apache on Windows. PHP and Apache work well. But everything that uses JavaScript (such as drop down menus or pop-up windows) doesn’t work.

EDIT2:
Ok, this is what I get with Firebug:

EDIT3: This is what I get on every browser (IE, Firefox, Safari) on Windows:

    When you say “… everything that uses JavaScript … doesn’t work”, what behavior do you see? Are you sure the required JavaScript files are loading? What browser are you using? Do you see any errors? Does the server side functionality work and this is just a client side issue?

    I would highly recommend using Firebug to make sure the JavaScript files are indeed loading, and check the Firebug console for any JavaScript errors. Edit your question and post any JavaScript errors you see, and that will aid people in answering your question.

    EDIT: Based on the JavaScript errors you posted, I see two things:

    1. var chat_path = <?="'$chat_path'"; ?>;. If Firebug/the browser can see PHP tags, it means PHP is either not running or not properly configured. View the page source and see if you see any <?php tags. If you do, PHP isn’t running. It could just be the case that PHP short tags are off, and those might need to be turned on.
    2. imageButtonAdd is not defined. This means that the JavaScript function imageButtonAdd is, well, not defined 🙂 Most likely this is because the JavaScript file for the chat application is not installed properly. View source and look for any <script src="..."> tags and make sure all URLs are valid. Check Firebug’s “Net” tab and see if any JavaScript includes are generating 404 Not Found errors.
