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

[chuckj]

Are you publishing the site using the Semantic XHTML option?

Publishing this way generates a .js file for each page in the site, named the same as the corresponding HTML page.

You might also get them if you've used any jQuery as well. In NetObjects that comes from using MLRs (Multi Layout Regions) for instance.

I guess you need to narrow down what you've added just before you started getting .js files appearing?

[Technology Ideas]

The bottom line as I said right in the beginning is that you don't need to worry as the code you pasted (in this case) is not bad and won't wreck your website, nor should any of your visitors see them.

No its set to dynamic page layout.

the thing is it seems any site I open now and do a publish gets this
problem.
Ive only done 2 so far but Ill try some more and see what happens.

ok Ive gone and checked a couple of sites, it seems this has been
happening for a while, I just didnt realise it because I didnt update
the main index.php file on the earlier sites, I checked the html folders
and theres a few .js files in there for the pages that I did make
changes to.
Updating the index.php file on my server will cause the browser to open
the .js file, which I do understand how to fix using the .htaccess file,
and this was how I discovered this problem.
I understand you say these files arent a problem but Id really prefer
not to have all the extra files cluttering up the directores if it can
be done.

All these sites have no tick in the google analytics box, they just have
the script in the master border.

I don't think you're reading all the posts here. As I said, we are using NetObjects forums and I think you're missing some posts when you're replying here.

Did you delete the .js files off the server using FileZilla (or similar external FTP) and then republish out of NetObjects? Do you still get the .js files.

As I also said in a previous post, have you added anything like MLRs (Multi Layout Regions) or similar type of new things in NetObjects 11 as that uses jQuery and will also need to publish a .js file for those as well.

The fact your hosting allows .js files to open in preference to .php or htm/.html is not normal at all! I'd be speaking to your web host if that is the default!

Well, here's the javascript for Google Analytics:
<!-- Analytics Code Start -->
<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">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("$VARIABLE(GoogleAnalyticsID)");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>
<!-- Analytics Code End -->

There is an older code they don't want used anymore, but it's similar to
this more recent code. .js is javascript (and not Java, as was asked - 2
different animals).

It's only one entry for a user to delete the UA number from in order to see
if that code goes away. And it's easy enough to even delete it temporarily
from one page, to see what happens. In one very short page of my own site,
there are 4 javascripts so they are used for a lot more than simple
analytics work unless it's not google analytics but something else.

There IS a separate .js file with EACH .html file, BTW. These are
NECESSARY files for analytics! It is also for google analytics and looks
like:
// Begin Analytics
$(document).ready( function() {
$('#Text2099Link2').bind('click', function() {
pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/aspca.org'); } );
$('#Text2099Link3').bind('click', function() {
pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=cruelty_faq#whatiscruel');
} );
$('#Text2099Link4').bind('click', function() {
pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.fbi.gov'); } );
$('#Text2099Link5').bind('click', function() {
pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.aspca.org/fight-animal-cruelty/report-animal-cruelty.html');
} );
$('#Text2099Link6').bind('click', function() {
pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.hsus.org/'); } );
$('#Text2099Link7').bind('click', function() {
pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.aspca.org'); } );
$('#Text2099Link8').bind('click', function() {
pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.agmkt.state.ny.us/AI/AGM_ART_26.pdf');
} );
});
// End Analytics

NONE of them appear to be creating a new page as the OPs code seems to show.
I can't find anything in mine that looks like the OPs code but that might
only mean he's using something I am not. About all that's used in that site
is a ccouple image galleries and a few artcles/news things.

Hmm, "actions": Perhaps that's something to do with adding "actions" in the
Properties somewhere. If not, I'd be concerned because it seems to be
creating a NEW page! If the code isn't supposed to do that, someone may have
hacked the site. Time to check the site logs to see what's going on there.

HTH,

In reply to a few comments above-

yes I did delete the js files and they just reappear on publish.

I dont know why you would think its to do with GA, the code talks about actions, which is a NOF thing, I havent used any actions for years.

I just made a fresh blank site with 1 empty page and uploaded that, no js files appeared, but all the existing sites Ive tried editing have created a pagename.js file for each page i update.

Im still confused..

[Technology Ideas]

If you are the previous Shannell that was posting, but you are now called Chargin, now that you are a member and can see all the posts, please read through them all as I believe your question has been answered.

Simply, it's either that you have GA activated via NetObjects, you are using Semantic XHTML settings in NetObjects or you are using NetObjects jQuery built-in features such as MLRs. None of which you should be concerned with anyway, as has also be said. I don't understand your issue with them. As has also been said, there is no code in them to suggest it is anything bad, and if they match your page names, it is highly likely it is NetObjects creating them, so again, don't worry about them.

If for some reason you do have an issue with them, then you need to disable Google Analytics, don't use Semantic XHTML settings in NetObjects and remove all uses of jQuery such as MLRs. If you still have a problem with your hosting open .js files in priority to .php and .html/.htm files, then talk to your web host as that is clearly not normal behaviour.

[Chargin]

yes I registered on the forum, I was the OP.
As I stated in an earlier reply, I dont have GA in the NetObjects options, Im using the masterborder for the code.
Im using dynamic html setting
not sure about jquery, is that some sort of database connection? these are pretty simple sites, nothing like that I know of.
