problems adding uservoice javascript (follow-up)

[zziemke]

Hi guys,
this is a continuation of
http://scala-programming-language.1934581.n4.nabble.com/Has-anyone-gotten-the-uservoice-javascript-to-work-td1981665.html

The suggested LiftRules.useXhtmlMimeType = false; didn't work for me,
so I created a demo project:

http://github.com/zziemke/uservoice-bug-demo

Would be very much appreciated if you guys look into this issue.
Thanks!

Its the weekend. Be patient, you will likely get a response in the week. Whilst we do our best to cover the list over the weekends, for things that are more involved such as this we dont always have time to take from our other life commitments.

Just to reinforce what Tim said, the folks on this list do not owe anyone an answer, nor do we answer questions in a specific time period.

Yes, we care a lot about answering folks questions and helping them be successful with Lift and build really cool things.  On the other hand, we're not getting paid for this work, so you will have to wait for answers.

In terms of my own personal rules (this does not apply to any other folks who commonly answer questions) are:

• If you have helped other people on the list, I'm far more likely to help you
• If you're asking a non-trivial question, I look for some research into the issue and sample code
• If you're asking a trivial question, I'll answer it quickly, but look for you to help out in the future
• If you bump a question, I'll most likely actively ignore it (I've got 5 year olds and have found that rewarding behavior with attention causes that behavior to happen more frequently and I don't want everybody bumping their questions... it just adds to noise.)
• If you contact me privately (unless we've got a pre-existing relationship or both have a strong relationship with a common person [e.g., I'm a friend of Jorge Ortiz and I need some private help with XXX, do you have time?]) I will most likely never give you support again

There are plenty of people on this list who are consultants.  If you need quick turn-around to your answers, offer a bounty or enter into a contract with one of the consultants to answer your questions.

With that being said, the OP should re-read the link he posted.  The answer to the problem is in the original answer he linked to (hint: XML is not HTML and Lift does everything in XML, even if the mime type is HTML).

So there are two problems.

The first _is_ resolved by useXhtmlMimeType = false, if you checked firebug you'll notice that it changes to a parse error on this line (as viewed using Safari's developer tools):

s.setAttribute('src', (&quot;https:&quot; == document.location.protocol ? &quot;https://&q

This is the second problem. You'll notice all those &quot;s that shouldn't be there. This is because this (from uservoice.html) is incorrect XML:

<script type="text/javascript">
...
s.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
s.setAttribute('src', ("https:" == document.location.protocol ? "https://" : "http://") + "cdn.uservoice.com/javascripts/widgets/tab.js");
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);
...
</script>

In XML, double quotes are not legal except as part of attributes. To fix this you need to tell XML that the whole content of the <script> tag is raw text that should be passed, not XML. The way to do this is using <![CDATA[ ... ]]>, which you can see in use if you look at the source of your page from the browser, since Lift is inserting script tags using this:

<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[

var lift_page = "F754949135290TOX";
// ]]>
</script>

So, if you add

// <![CDATA[

just after <script> and

// ]]>

just before </script>, the problem should vanish.

Hope that explains,
-Ross

Thank you very much!

Works like a charm :D
