Problems with Javascript at 'www.huk24.de'

[Waldbronner]

The website www.huk24.de breaks because of some javascript error unrelated to the extension (the website doesn't load even without any extension active), i.e. Pale Moon shows a broken view in normal and even in the secured mode. Using e.g. the Edge browser there are no problems. It's obviously the browser and not any add-on.

TL;DR learn2code+learn2admin

The console displays 2 errors. Neither of them are our issue and need to be solved by the webmaster.

First:

Code: Select all

SyntaxError: expected expression, got keyword 'import'[Learn More]

they use import keywords first, then inside a function they use it as an object. programmer error. or perhaps their minification of the script totally mangled it

Second:

Code: Select all

Script from “https://www.huk24.de/dcs/hukch24prototypedev/1/JS-2.20.0-LAWA/s62169880419949?DQB=1& ... &mcorgid=BB193DD8560D04BA7F000101%40AdobeOrg&DQE=1” was blocked because of a disallowed MIME type.

Wrong mime type declared for imported scripts. Scripts need to be declared as "text/javascript" not "application/x-javascript" since it's not external, aside from the fact that "application/x-javascript" isn't a valid IANA MIME type. Since "nosniff" is also declared, we aren't allowed to make guesses about the MIME type other than what is declared.

Perhaps their McAfee web gateway is as fault since it seems to serve everything through that.

[Waldbronner]

Maybe, but (almost) all other common browsers show this website without errors. A request to the webmaster confirms this. His suggestion: Use a 'current' browser.

[Moonchild]

So I just wasted my time analyzing the webmaster's errors. OK.
I'm sorry but I'm not going to break Pale Moon's MIME type compliance to cater to bad administration.

Webmaster knows shit. Ask him to take some lessons (not online) from real people.

[Waldbronner]

OK, thanks for the evaluation. I'm not an expert and can only describe the problem from the user's point of view. The fact is that other browsers are obviously more fault-tolerant. Sorry, if anybody should feel I had trodden on their expert toes

[Nuck-TH]

Allowing standard violations and mistake errors is not fault-tolerance.

[New Tobin Paradigm]

It really isn't. We used to have diversity in the browser market that webmasters, any worth their salt, would reasonably ensure nearly if not complete compatibility with quirks and standards scross a spectrum. Of course in the Google Monoculture it is up to the people to MAKE them do the job they signed up for. So go, bombard reason and history at them. Perhaps you will get a few converts who aren't too weak and scared to actually use reason and logic to resolve issues rather than pandering to the lowest common denominator and their Google Overloards.

At this point, if webmasters and members of the corporate web DON'T accede to historical precedent, non-Google-only standards, and logic then you should seriously consider if this is something or these are people you want to do business with.

There is a common phrase.. vote with your dollars.. However with the massive amount of communist destruction going on even businesses tend to not care even about their own bottom line. See: Mozilla as an early example most of us are exceedingly familiar with. I think you should rather consider in this tech focused world to vote with your usage.

[moonbat]

They can afford to ignore us because the vast majority of s⃫h⃫e⃫e⃫p⃫ people vote for them with their dollars/attention.

[New Tobin Paradigm]

We'll see.

I looked at this and looks like implementing dynamic module import and import.meta may fix displaying site a little. That can be easily confirmed on Firefox by toggling javascript.options.dynamicImport. In case of that error with MIME, I don't see them.

[Waldbronner]

Thanks for this hint. However, I cannot find the option 'javascript.options.dynamicImport' under about:config.
After creating this as a new key neither TRUE nor FALSE will have any effect in Palemoon browser.

Thanks for this hint. However, I cannot find the option 'javascript.options.dynamicImport' under about:config.

Unfortunately you got it wrong. The hint wasn't addressed to you.
'javascript.options.dynamicImport' isn't implemented in Pale Moon.
