SF-ECON Lab website not visible with some browsers

Calling @owen!

https://scifieconomicslab.net:

  • Works on Chrome
  • Works on Safari
  • Does not work on Firefox (no error, just nothing is shown)
  • Does not work on Microsoft Edge (reported by @yudhanjaya).
  • Does not work on Tor.

Since we are about to pitch the project, it would be nice to debug this. Can you help?

Just to add: I use Firefox and switched to Edge, and the result was the same for both: blank page, nothing rendered.

Debugging shows this:

Is this an issue with Javascript? Most JS content works fine. eg: Edgeryders main website works just fine; https://www.ibm.com/design/ uses a fair bit of JS and loads just fine. My own https://watchdog.team/ is also almost entirely JS and works. Wondering if non-Chromium browsers are missing something that throws a monkey wrench in the works.

@alberto - I see an error in Firefox to do with the closing footer tag:

“XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: .
Location: https://scifieconomicslab.net/
Line Number 139, Column 3:”

I’m looking into it, but I remember Firefox (and perhaps Edge too) being sensitive to certain non closing tags.

Is it something that can be fixed on the configuration post?

Just checking

It works in firefox now.

Here is the culprit, no closing tag:

I will be going through the webkit sites this week to do some debugging - if other errors come up please report to me and I’ve allocated time to look into them.
