Antwort: IDP Problem with JavaScript in Internet Explorer

Here is another interesting thing I observed. As I mentioned that we
have some custom JavaScript code that is writing values to a Adobe Flash
Object.

The JavaScript and Flash Object are in the include folder of idp.

 

https://my.domain.com/idp/include/flashObject.swf
<https://my.domain.com/idp/include/flashObject.swf> 

 

https://my.domain.com/idp/include/myJavaScript.js
<https://my.domain.com/idp/include/myJavaScript.js> 

 

Once I have landed on the login.jsp after being redirected by the SP, if
I put the above two URLs in Chrome or Firefox I am able to access the
.swf file or the JavaScript code.

However, in Internet Explorer I get the error as seen in the screenshot

I don't think this is an IDP problem but any help is much appreciated.

 

Thanks

I don't have IE9 handy but will try to get it installed for testing
purposes. Could you please share your assumption?

 

Thanks

I have an assumption. 
Could you test it with IE9? 
If it works with IE9, my assumption is probably true.

Hi all, 
  
We are trying to modify the default login.jsp that comes packaged with
IDP. During our customization we added some JavaScript code. The JS code
reads and writes values to an Adobe flash object (Local Shared Object)
on the client side. 
  
When IDP is deployed on machine running Tomcat 6.0 the page works fine
in Firefox and Chrome. In Internet Explorer the page/javascript
functions do not behave as expected. 
The strange part is that when I move my JSP to a different folder in the
webapps directory, meaning outside the idp's context, it then works in
all browsers. 
  
The following URL does not work in Internet Explorer but works in
Firefox and Chrome. 
Tomcat6.0\webapps\IDP\login.jsp 
  
Now if I move the JSP to another location in webapps the JSP works fine
in all browsers. 
Tomcat6.0\webapps\test\login.jsp 
  
Browser versions part of my development are 
Internet Explorer 8 
Firefox 5 
Chrome 13 
  
I am really perplexed as to what the problem is. Just as a shot in the
dark, is there some browser specific filtering done in IDP? 
  
Thanks
