not showing when viewing from external (through firewall)

Hello,

I've been using the eval pintab for a while now. It has been working great.

But this morning, the tabs are no longer visible when I view the app from outside the firewall (external to intranet) (But yesterday I was able to do this. So this issue is new.)

I can still view the tabs in development env., I can still view it locally, and I can still view it from the internal intranet (inside firewall).

What would be the problem? My evaluation version? My code (maybe...but did it surface now?)

Need assistance as soon as possible. Deadline/live date of app is this week.

Rhett

Hi Rhett,

could this be a Javascript problem because Javascript is disabled or filtered in any way ?

This has nothing to do with evaluation or your code.
Possibly its a security problem.

Do other controls using Javascript work ?

Thanks for the response. I did some testing, and found an interesting behavior- but pinTab still no show.

If I go into tab/pinTab.html and add an alert statement - like " alert("in load");"  pinTab works from outside the firewall. If I remove the 'alert' command that I added, it does not work again. I tried this over 30 times and the behavior is consistent:

-get the javascript load() function in tab/pinTab.html to produce a ALERT, and pinTab works. Remove the ALERT, and it doesnt work again. (I tried added other javascript statements like var, and while loops and it doesn't work. But it also works if I add a CONFIRM statement)

how can this be? Does this make any sense to you?

see below, Rhett.

-----------------------------------pinTab.html

 

<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="design/style/pinTab.css" type="text/css">
<script language="javascript" src="include/pinTab.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" src="include/api.js"></script>
<script language="javascript">

var controlID = "";
function load()
{  
 

 alert("in load");   // I ADDED THIS AND PINTAB WORKS.**********************
 // process parameters
 var param = "";
 try {
