-----------------------------------------

             Summary: In Firefox, portal pages are loaded twice more, with errors
                 Key: AIRAVATA-2165
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-2165
             Project: Airavata
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Marcus Christie


In Firefox (doesn't seem to affect Safari or Chrome), every time a portal page loads, the page gets loaded again, twice.

I tracked this down to this part of the web page
{code:xml}
<!-- Jira Issue Collector - Request Feature -->
<script type="text/javascript"
        src=""></script>


<script type="text/javascript"
        src=""></script>
{code}

Apparently the empty {{src}} path is interpreted as meaning that the current URL should be loaded as a script.

Since the web page is loaded into a {{<script>}} tag, the browser tries to interpret it as JavaScript but fails, so I also see this in the console
{noformat}
09:04:27.443 SyntaxError: expected expression, got '<'1dashboard:1
09:04:27.891 SyntaxError: expected expression, got '<'1dashboard:1
{noformat}

For the most part this is harmless. But since it loads the whole page 3 times, it takes about 3 times as long to load each page.  Also, some of the JavaScript only runs on the {{$(document).ready(..)}} event, and this code won't run until the page is loaded 3 times, during which time interactive portions of the page are unavailable.

I verified that this bug affects seagrid.org as well.

I'll post a screenshot of the network requests which will show the loading of the page three times as well as the console errors.
