Strange NOF11 problem, .getting .html files duplicated as .js files

[Shannell]

Ive been updating a couple of sites lately and have been getting a
strange problem. Every html page I upload gets a duplicate file uploaded
with a .js extension. Ive pasted the content from one of these files.
This can actually break a website as index.php gets a index.js and the
visitors browser will try and open the .js file as .php seems to be a
lower priority than index.js for some reason.

I think the only javascript Ive got going on is google analytics, thats
what I understand a .js file to be.
What on earth can be going on here?


// Begin Actions
function F_doLoaded() {
document.main = new F_cMain();
document.objectModel = new Object();
F_OM('Layout','LayoutLYR', 'doc', '', new Array());
F_OM('' , 'LYR', 'img', 'Layout',null,'',0);

F_pageLoaded('Layout');
}

$(document).ready( function() {
F_onLoaded();
});
// End Actions

No idea, but I don't think it's analytics causing it. It's easy enough to
tell; turn analytics off and see what happens. Are you not using js for the
menu items, etc.? Got a website URL?

HTH,

Hi, yes I guess I would be using js for the menus, forgot about that.
Basically it seems any site i edit gets this problem.
One is foxrealestate.com.au
I found a setting in the appliaction options referring to js, well "java
runtime enviroment" (actually I think thats different to javascript is
it??) it says
use version bundled with Netobjects
or
Use external JRE (1.6)
Mine is set to the bundled option.

The .js files are absolutely for Google Analytics. NetObjects generates them for any external links you have on each of your NetObjects page so it can track them.

.js files should never be a priority over .php .htm or .html files for your visitors when opening links or pages (unless you put a link directly to index.js)

If it is, speak to your web host or check your computer as it is not normal behaviour of any browser to open index.js as a priority over index.php / index.htm or index.html.

[Shannell]

Well I did fix that by adding a .htaccess file with
DirectoryIndex index.php

But I dont want all these .js files uploaded, Im not sure what to do
next..??
What does this code refer to? Seems the same code every time.

// Begin Actions
function F_doLoaded() {
document.main = new F_cMain();
document.objectModel = new Object();
F_OM('Layout','LayoutLYR', 'doc', '', new Array());
F_OM('' , 'LYR', 'img', 'Layout',null,'',0);

F_pageLoaded('Layout');
}

$(document).ready( function() {
F_onLoaded();
});
// End Actions

Not sure why you are worrying about them at all, they are for Google Analytics to do it's job, but if you must remove them:

If you don't want Google Analytics, switch it off in NetObjects fully by going into TOOLS>OPTIONS>CURRENT SITE then click SITE TRAFFIC tab and untick "Enable Google Analytics"

If you do want tracking but for whatever reason don't want to track everything that goes on within your website pages, you will still need to switch Google Analytics off in NetObjects (see above) and simply add the code manually to your Master HTML. Right click in your MasterBorder, choose MasterBorder HTML and then click the BodyEnd icon at the top and paste the Google Analytics code in manually. Replace UA-xxxxxx-x below with your specific UA code.


<script type="text/javascript">

var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
try{
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxx-x");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}
</script>

Ok so its normal behavior then?
Its just that I havent changed anything and this started happening.
Ive never had a bunch of .js files in my directories before. Does anyone
esle have these same files in any of their current nof11 websites?

Yes. It's normal. Read through my post where I've explained that. Our website has them both in the root directory and in the /html directory.

To clarify though, if you haven't switched on Google Analytics in NetObjects ever and all of a sudden a bunch of .js files have appeared by themselves then that is not normal.

Did you check whether Google Analytics is switched on using my instructions?

You can test this by switching it off and seeing if the .js files disappear, but this may be affected by how you upload your finished files. If you use NetObjects publishing, it should remove them automatically.

I am replying via the NetObjects forums http://forums.netobjects.com and I see you are using a Newsgroup so you might not be seeing what's here.

Thanks for the help Andrew.
yes I check the tickbox and its definately turned off, but Im still
getting js files uploaded. Ive done several checks and it occurs every time.
These are all sites that were exported as templates from Nof10. Ive been
using them without this issue until today.

I am starting to guess as it's nearly impossible for me to help you from here.

I can categorically tell you that if you switch on Google Analytics in NetObjects it creates a .js file for each of the pages you have and jquery as well. It might be because you had Google Analytics switched on previously in that file.

If you did, try to delete all those .js files using FileZilla, any external FTP program or cPanel etc. and then republish your entire site with Publish Changed Assets Only unticked?
