Hello,

I am having an issue when saving a template as a JavaScript type.

Essentially, when saving the template with the following:

function setCookie(NameOfCookie, value) {
  var exdate=new Date();
  exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + 1);
  var c_value=escape(value) + ((exdays==null) ? "" : "; expires="+exdate.toUTCString());
  [removed] = NameOfCookie + "=" + c_value;
}

I get “HTTP 501 Not Implemented/HTTP 505 Version Not Supported”

However, if I just strip it down to:

function setCookie(NameOfCookie, value) {
}

It saves just fine.

Any ideas?

My My ExpressionEngine build is 2.2.1

Hey togs,

Something seems to have gone wonky when you tried to post, can you let me know what was in place of [removed]?

Thanks!

Hello Kyle,

The removed part should be document[period]cookie

Every time I try to save this post with an actual . it seems to substitute [removed] instead.

Thanks for the response.

Hi togs,

Just trying to get a hold of the problem you’re having: does the error you’re seeing happen when you’re trying to save the template? Or when you’re trying to view it on the front-end? Walk me through exactly the steps I need to take to recreate the issue.

Just to make sure we’re working with the same code you are, could you post your entire template into something like pastebin.com and post the link back here? That way nothing will get stripped out of your code.

Hello Michael,

Here is the code snippet.

Essentially, I create a template and define its type as javascript.

When I push the update button or update and finished button, the page says “The website is unable to display the webpage”. HTTP 501/HTTP 505.

HTTP 501 Not Implemented/HTTP 505 Version Not Supported

When I hit the back button on the browser, I can see that the information has not been saved to the templte. Trying again displays the same error.

When I save the template again, this time with an empty function, it saves just fine:

function setCookie(NameOfCookie, value) {
}

Mindboggling.

Hi, togs -

If you put that same code into a file on the server and save it, does it work?  You might even try with it saved as a template file.

What I suspect is that the server is erroring in some way when submitting that content via POSTing it in a form.  That’s why I’d like to go straight to FTP to troubleshoot; if so, we know to ask the host and see if they have any ideas. 

Let us know what that testing turns up.
