New to ASP and probably never named a Javascript file “.inc” 🙂
But that seems to be the norm where I’m currently working.
I observed that right on the first page I started getting these javascript errors
Message: 'globalVariableXXX' is undefined
I found that the javascript file wasn’t getting called at all.
Just changed the name to “.js” and it worked !!
The ASP file includes the JavaScript file like this :
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript" SRC="include/MenuCode.inc"></SCRIPT>
But there are 100’s of these “.inc” files and 100’s of references to them, hence don’t want to go with this solution.
I’d rather understand it..
Any idea why it would’ve worked in the first place and why it isn’t now ?
I’m sure I’m missing something pretty basic in ASP..
Another point : This application is installed on another server and it works just fine there when I hit it. I’m trying to install it on this new box.
Where I made the change for it to work:
In IIS, Right click on the name of the machine and the Mime Types are right over there. Checked the old server and it had the settings for “.inc”, copied them and it started working 🙂 Thanks all.
Maybe someone changed the webserver to prevent it serving .inc files ?
