WCM and Javascript Not viewing correctly

grahammills — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 15:55:04 GMT

Hi,I am new to alfresco and though that the easiest way to test the WCM would be to import one of my web sites files into alfresco and see how it can help. I was very disappointed when it did not display my files correctly. Basically I use a style sheet which was picked up okay and three javascript

Hi,

I am also having trouble displaying the GB pound sign (£). this works in most browsers but when you view the symbol with Alfresco it comes with a wrong symbol. A simple piece of html will show the problem:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title> Display a pound sign</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Does Alfresco display the GBP sign correctly?<br />
£
</p>
</body>
</html>

Thanks
Graham

Hi,

For information I have now solved my problem. The first is linked with what I deem as a fault with alfresco. If you have a reference to a file in the current directory, either an image or a script include file, when you try and view that html file in alfresco it cannot find the file, even if you reference the file ./filename. If you locate any include files in a subdirectory alfresco picks up the file and the display works.

The other problem is one of my mistake and sloppy html. Alfresco is unforgiving of sloppy html and forces you to write correct html. This is a good thing and £ signs should be written as £ and & signs as & this way there will be no ambiguity when displayed on foreign browsers.
