Uploading Webpages to remote site produces blank pages.


Uploading Webpages to remote site produces blank pages. CjofVP

iis ftp: I'm working with a person who is developing their own website using XP Sp2 on
a Laptop PC. They have a home network with a Windows 98 SE PC serving as
their residential Gateway to internet and the XP laptop is a client on that
network. This person was using Macromedia Dreamweaver and its built in FTP
capabilities to develop and implement their web online. All was fine and well
until recently they noticed that everything being uploaded to their site
would result in blank pages being displayed in IE.

They sent me copies of the pages they'd developed and they display fine in
my browser. Below is the header info seen when viewing source that was
generated by Dreamweaver.

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta content="mshtml 6.00.2737.800" name=generator>
</head>

The body remarks, page layouts links etc are all there to been seen below
the headers. However, when they go to site and view source for blank pages
they're seeing, it produces the following info in the headers.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

Above is the only 5 lines on the entire page. Its like the contents has been
stripped out of the entire page. Its driving us both crazy. This person has
tried using different FTP programs (coffeecup, Cute_Ftp, and Ws_Ftp) has
tried uploading these pages from both pcs on their network, with similar
results.

Silently, I'm thinking their SP-2 has corrupted files, but any idea of whats
going on here would be appreciated.

That's what IE displays when it receives an empty response, it's not your
person's files translated somehow. check the files on the server, see if
they're zero-length. I've seen this when Norton Antivirus is enabled with
script blocking turned on.

Hi Jason, thanks for your reply.
I passed your information along to my friend. She's not running nortons
antivirus, however, I'm curious if the webspace provider she's using is. Her
antivirus is AVG free edition and she's using ICF for a firewall. All the
settings seem in order for them. Is there another way to turn the scripting
back on in Windows? either through Services template, or in IE itself?

No, there's no way to turn off this Norton feature from windows (it being a
Norton feature and all)

what do these pages do in particular? that could be a clue. either way it's
going to be worth talking to the web host.

She makes pages for use as rooms, in a virtual chat community we both belong
to, and she's good at keeping them simple. I've reviewed both of the pages,
(sans images) and while there are some VBscript routines in the pages, those
ran normally when I looked them over in Frontpage 2003. As a further test, I
uploaded them to my own site online. Everything is as it should be. Going to
have her email customer support for her webhost. If I learn anything more,
I'll post a resolution statement.
Again thanks.
