Javascript runs locally but not when deployed

[NeoToren]

I am trying to run a simple javascript that needs to fetch an external URL:

<script src="http://widgets.aapc.com/countdown/aapc_cdwidgetbox_220.js"></script>

When locally - it works great. 

When deployed on PythonAnywhere - it doesn't work and it doesn't throw an error.

I have tried wrap a <div> container around it - didn't help

I have tried sanitize True or False it in an XML - didn't help

There was some discussion on this group more than 2 years ago about this - but no conclusion

To make it more interesting...

another kind of javascript widget such as :

<div align="center" style="margin: 15px 0px 0px;"><noscript><div align="center" style="width: 140px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); text-align: center; color: rgb(249, 249, 255); font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(4, 2, 68);"><a href="http://mycountdown.org/tag.php?tag=icd" style="text-decoration: none; font-size: inherit; color: rgb(249, 249, 255);">Icd </a></div></noscript><script type="text/javascript" src="http://mycountdown.org/countdown.php?cp2_Hex=040244&cp1_Hex=F9F9FF&img=1&hbg=&fwdt=170&lab=1&ocd=conference&text1=ICD-10&text2=My Countdown&group=Event&countdown=conference&widget_number=3010&event_time=1412121600&timezone=America/New_York"></script></div>

again - works locally but not when deployed.

Now comes the rub....

If a widget is in the format of:

<iframe width="350" height="240" src="//w2.countingdownto.com/468181" frameborder="0"></iframe><p><a href="http://countingdownto.com">Countdown Clocks</a></p>

It works both locally AND on hosted machine / deployed

It doesn't have any mention of JS...and it is wrapped in <iframe>....

still...interesting bug or I am doing something wrong ?

What appears in the browser console when you see the deployed version?

Everything on the page appears correctly except the widget which does not show at all. Nothing. No hint no error...

There are no errors at all on the browser javascript console?

[Marin Pranjić]

Do you use http or https? What if you try another one?

Glenn from PythonAnywhere suggested on StackOverflow it may happen since page is https while widget is http...

[Leonel Câmara]

It could, as browser would block it.

Just change:

<script src="http://widgets.aapc.com/countdown/aapc_cdwidgetbox_220.js"></script>

To:

<script src="//widgets.aapc.com/countdown/aapc_cdwidgetbox_220.js"></script>

Tried it. Does work locally - does NOT work when deployed...
