261166 - bialik.ort.org.il - Site shows up completely blank

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Hebrew, defect)

Description

[Ohad Lutzky]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10

This is also the case for konqueror, opera, and pretty much everything but IE.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter the site
Actual Results:  
Blank page

Expected Results:  
Screenshot attached

The site seems to be made completely of document.write (which I am pretty sure
is invalid DOM).
Disabling Javascript and hacking through the source code allows one to get to a
few of the pages. Having Javascript enabled will always jump back to the
original frameset, which shows up blank.

As for the forums: There is a workaround! One needs to get the complete URL for
the appropriate forum using IE. He can then enter the forums and post, by
changing the beginning of the URL from:
http://demo.ort.org.il/ortforums/scripts/forum.asp
To:
http://demo.ort.org.il/ortforums/scriptsns/forum.asp

I imagine that the change stands for 'scripts - netscape'. Mind you that posting
with this workaround does not translate linebreaks into HTML, so one must enter
the <br> tags by hand. Also note that there is no link (at least none that I've
found) to this workaround, and I discovered it thanks to a tip on the
whatsup.org.il forums.

I'm getting a javascript error:
Error: missing ( before formal parameters
Source File: http://bialik.ort.org.il/@HOME/scripts/frame.asp?sp_c=961338585
Line: 41, Column: 15
Source Code:
function window.onload()
After that the document.write functions are not executed, which has the effect
that the site is not showing up.

What is the correct syntax for this window.onload() ?

window.onload=function(){} 
That should do what they want.

I'm not certain, but I'm quite sure, the way they do it is not allowed in
javascript.

A. subject needs to be changed: ort.org.il -> bialik.ort.org.il ; it's not about the http://www.ort.org.il
B. The site is not well-built, has some display problems, but is NO MORE BLANK as stated above. All in all I think this bug should be closed unless a major IE-only issue is found.

Closing issue. In case you find some more issues with this site, please reopen.
