Debug message "Resource interpreted as other but transferred with MIME type application/javascript'


OK, I understand what the messages means , but I'm really not sure what's causing it. I'm using Safari and the Web Inspector on Mac OS X, by the way.



I've got the following in my document head:




<script src="http://local.url/a/js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://local.url/a/js/jquery.inplace.js" type="text/javascript"></script>



jquery.js is handled fine, but the other file causes the warning. It also seems that the javascript in this file never gets executed.



The file is being served via mod_deflate , so it is gzip encoded, but so is the other file.



Has anybody got any ideas what's causing this, or how to resolve it?



Cheers all, Gaz.

  1. seems to be a bug in safari / webkit. maybe this one, or any of these. try upgrading your safari. if there is no more recent stable version, try the 4 beta.

  2. An image with an empty "src" attribute generates this error under Windows-Chrome:

    <img src="">


    ... whereas ...

    <img>


    ... does not.

    I arrived here because my ajax resultset was returning "src" data which was empty yet the img was still being inserted into the page.

  3. I don't thing is a bug,
    try adding the mime type to your .htaccess file
    for example put or add the following content to your .htaccess file (which should be in the same place of your .js or above folders)

    #JavaScript
    AddType application/x-javascript .js


    This solved my tree "Resource interpreted as other but transfered ... " Warnings.
    Everytime you have that kind of warning it means you don't have enough info in your .htaccess file.

    BTW1: Since you are modifying .htaccess file, make sure you restart your server.

    BTW2: I also could clear same warnings for GIF files in Safari 4 with this:

    #GIF
    AddType image/gif .gif


    BTW3: For other file types: see w3schools list or htaccess-guide

  4. This warning appears because no default script type is specified. Try adding the following directive to your HTML file:

    <meta http-equiv="content-script-type" content="text/javascript">

    You can read more about default scripting specifications here:

  5. Solved!

    I have had this error for several days. It was driving me crazy because it didnt allow me to use firefox firebug's script debugger. Finally, my error was solved when I removed an empty url in a "background-image: url()" style property.

    This has been so much a pain than I really hope somebody can use this advice.

  6. You need to use a tool to view the HTTP headers sent with the file, something like LiveHTTPHeaders or HTTPFox are what I use. If the files are sent from the webserver without a MIME type, or with a default MIME type like text/plain, that might be what this error is about.

  7. It is because of the period in the file name. It is stupid, but anytime there is a period in the js file name you will get this error, and I have come across situations where it will actually prevent the js file from loading.

  8. It seems like a bug in Safari's cache handling policies.

    Workaround in apache:

    Header unset ETag
    Header unset Last-Modified

  9. I just got this and solved it locally on my mac. For some reason the javascript file in question had bad permissions. I noticed when I looked at it in firebug I was getting a 403. I hope that helps anyone.

  10. I had the same issue with a css file instead of javascript. (using the xitami webserver)

    what fixed for me was adding under the MIME section of xitami.cfg:

    css=text/css

  11. I found out that the naming of my css files was in conflict with the proxy filters

    www.dating.com (which is not my site) was blocked and my css and js files were called dating.css and dating.js. The filter was blocking this. Maybe that is the case with some of you, working on corporates systems.

  12. This bug seem to have resurfaced (Noticed it November 2010)

    I think the WebKit bug reports involved are this one and this. Essentially it boils down to incorrect cache handling when doing an If-Modified-Since which get a 304 response.

  13. Another common cause of this error on the Mac is Apple's quarantine flag.

    ls the directory containing the resource(s) in question. If you see the extended attribute indicator, i.e., the little @ symbol at the end of the permissions block (e.g. -rw-r--r--@ ) then the file could be quarantined.

    Try ls -la@e and look for com.apple.quarantine

    The following command will remove the quarantine:

    xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/file

  14. There seem to be many things that cause this. For me it was a lowercase rewrite rule in IIS. Changed the problem files (js and png) to lowercase and problem went away.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
