[DL] need help with a very odd problem on new main DL page...
Something very odd is happening with my testing of the new main DL page at:
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/index_new_dl.html
and I hope a new set of eyes or braincells or something can help.
If you bring up the source of the page you'll see this bit of JS code:
------------------------------------------------------------------
//alert ("hasMirroLink: " + hasMirrorLink() );
if ( hasMirrorLink() ) {
document.write( "<h2>" + myURLlink+ "Download Apache OpenOffice " +
VERSION + "</a></h2>"
+ "<p>" + myURLlink + "Click to start downloading the most recent
version for "
+ getPlatform(SCHEMA) + " and " + getLanguage() + "."
+ "<br/></p>" );
} else {
<!-- dump SF extension -->
alert("link before replacment: " + LINK);
var newLINK = LINK.replace(/\/download$/,"");
alert ("link after replacment: " + newLINK);
<!-- route everybody to somplace else ??? -->
document.write( "<h2><a href='" + newLINK + "' title='" + newLINK +
"'>Download Apache OpenOffice</a></h2>"
+ "<p><a href='" + newLINK + "' title='" + newLINK + "'>Get Apache
OpenOffice for " + getLanguage()
+ " from a Native Language community area.</a></p>" );
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------
all is fine when a mirror link is found. However, when one is NOT found
here is what is happening to me (I tested with a Solaris UA setup, a
platform we are no longer supporting which ended up here):
* I get the first alert showing me a proposed downlosd link, which, due
to the former code, generates:
http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html/download
the trailing "/download" is appended for SourceForce requirement...
* the edit to ditch the trailing "/download" seems to work and I now
see: http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html
in second alert.
* when I put my mouse OVER the now generated links, I SEE
http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html, and this is what shows up
in my "message" area of Firefox.
But, when I click on the link, I get bounced over to:
http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html/download
which is of course erroneous...and I get a "404".
Any ideas on this at all??? I'm at wits end.
I am really trying to get this setup so no one gets thrown over a cliff
under any circumstance and this is a puzzle I can't seem to solve.
Thanks for any help on this. I'm off to some appointments and I'll check
back later...

Hi Kay,
The prior line of code is controlling the green button's link. This part needs to be incorporated into the hasMirrorLink if then else.
//alert ("myURLlink :" + myURLlink);
document.write( "<div class=\"first button green\" id=\"optionitem1\" onclick=\"openItem('optionitem1','" + LINK + "');"
+ "return false;\">" );
Regards,
Dave
