Can't see my webpages on localhost

[daisy06]

I am using local host as a testing platform, running xampp 1.7.3 on a Windows 7 machine.

I am able to see the http://localhost/xampp page with no problem. When I try to load one of my pages (http://localhost/foldername/index.html) I see the page load but it is not displayed. I know the page loads because I can right click and see the html code.

The page that will not display contains java script code. If I remove the java code, the page displays correctly. I have other pages that have no java code and they also work correctly.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

...then it must be the javascript code that is giving issues and without being able to see what the code is, it will be impossible to help.

BTW javascript is parsed by your browser not the web server so XAMPP is working fine and if you have javascript issues you should ask the script's author what the issues might be.

Here is the section of code that I removed to make the page work. The code was generated by Serif WebPlusX4 development software. This is working on another of my Windows 7 machines.

<script type="text/javascript" src="_wp_scripts/jspngfix.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var blankSrc = "_wp_scripts/blank.gif";
--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="_wp_scripts/jsMenus.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

Thanks

You have a <script> tag that is not closed - the last <script> tag needs to be closed </script> or deleted as it does not contain anything.
Your browser is reaching that point and then stalling because it can't go any further reading the html page code.

<script type="text/javascript" src="_wp_scripts/jspngfix.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var blankSrc = "_wp_scripts/blank.gif";
--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="_wp_scripts/jsMenus.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

Sorry, Ms. Sharley. Here is the code following what I previously posted.

<!--
var nav_2 = new wp_menus();
nav_2.m_bkgndcolor = '#543312';
nav_2.m_bkgndcolorhl = '#8c6c45';
nav_2.m_textcolor = '#ffa50c';
nav_2.m_textcolorhl = '#ffffff';
nav_2.m_bordercolor = '#543312';
nav_2.m_bordersize = 1;
nav_2.m_fontsize = 14;
nav_2.m_imagearrow = '_wp_generated/wpa9d337ce.gif';
nav_2.m_imagearrowhl = '_wp_generated/wpdba8aeda.gif';
nav_2.m_txtalign = 'center';

nav_2.m_acStack.gap = 0;
nav_2.m_acStack.bordergap = 1;

nav_2.BeginMenu('nav_2_P2');
nav_2.AddLink('nav_2_P2_I1','More History','morehistory.html',null,'_self');
nav_2.AddLink('nav_2_P2_I2','Rules &amp; Regulations','rules.html',null,'_self');
nav_2.AddLink('nav_2_P2_I3','Latest News','news.html',null,'_self');

So the location of the script may need to be given the full path treatment to get it to work if the code itself is not at fault.

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="_wp_scripts/jspngfix.js"></script>

Change these src= lines to the full path location and you will have to do that as I can only take a guess but the format would look similar to this

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="C:/xampp/htdocs/foldername/_wp_scripts/jspngfix.js"></script>

See if that helps and make sure the path to the scripts is correct for your own installation.

There may also be an error message in the C:\xampp\apache\logs\error.log file related to not being able to find the scripts.


Also I can be no help at all with the javascript code and if your issue is not fixed by using full paths then you must address this issue at the Serif Support section as XAMPP is working as it should:
http://www.serif.com/Support/
or their community forums:

Good luck with it and my best wishes.

Many thanks. I checked the log file, and no errors are reported.

I failed to mention that the problem page works correctly when loaded from the Internet website.

Also, as I mentioned above, this code works on localhost on another Windows 7 computer.

Any further ideas?
