Script error, I really could use some advice before insanity.

**ruffino** · 12 July 2010, 09:42 PM

I am not sure where else to go about this error, the only website it is happening to me is my servers site, "iPage", they use a vDeck4 control panel and I cannot use it because of this "Yahoo is not defined" error an many lines. So updating my website is not possible. The control panel doesn't appear because of the script errors and as you can see only a text interface with incomplete links.
I attached some screen images of this, has anyone heard or had a problem with this type of error?
I have cleared my cache, cookies, and history. Three computers, two operating systems, XP and VIsta64. Three web browsers (explorer8, google chrome and firefox). I also rebooted everything including the router.

The only thing in common is my home network. I have run diagnostics on the dsl router and pinged the system, all checks out.
Did I miss anything?
If you can help, thanks, if this is an inappropriate topic, sorry about that. I googled the error "yahoo is not defined", a lot of threads but they spoke greek and I didn't.
Nothing to do with WD6 but is does affect my website and interface.

I have read those threads, some were useless and some I don't understand Can anyone clarify, WHY this problem exists and how to resolve it? Thanks again and I agree, google is usually my friend.

It looks like you are trying to load a source file on line 13, is the path correct?

Believe it or not, that is the source code of the www.ipage.com site or subpage therein.
I didn't write this.
Evidently this problem is occuring at my location, not at theirs.

To tell you the truth, I own WD6 because I don't know how to write these scripts, and now that there is a problem like this, i am clueless.

I assumed it was a java problem, so I deleted old versions and reloaded the new version, no fix!

I then turned off the java and that didn't help.

17 hours working on finding a solution, and i am hoping any of you could help. I am desperate. Their customer support team is trying to figure it out, but I wonder on how motivated they are.

I want to THANK ALL who offer their opinions and I bow to the one with the solution!

Ruffino, Java and Javascript are not related in any way.

Java was created by Sun Microcomputers, Javascript was created by Netscape.

Uninstalling Java has no effect on javascript in web browsers.

Do you know if JQuery is required to use the iPage interface? JQuery is a 'database' of javascript code, it 'defines' many objects and statements for use by browsers.

Evidence of my ignorance

How would I fine this "JQuery"?

A google search is how I found it initially.

I do not know if JQuery will help with your problem or not. It is just a suggestion that you check with the people that run the server to see what is required to use their services.

The library you try to use is YUI from Yahoo.
Check for lines like:

<script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.8.1/build/yahoo/yahoo-min.js"></script>
<script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.8.1/build/dom/dom-min.js"></script>

If you do not find anything similar, add these two to your <head> tag. If you find them, correct the URL.

I just read your first post again and it seems that the page in error is not yours. As you looked at the source already, check if you see the reference to yahoo-min.js in their <head> tag. If you find it, copy the URL and try to open it in your browser. If you get a text file with code displayed, the reference is correct and you have disabled javascript in your browser. if the file does not display, the URL is incorrect or cannot be reached for some reason.
