Conditional Javascript not allowed??

We have a very basic <script> tag placed in the content placed holder header of a custom aspx page.  The javascript causes a text box to appear when a radio button is selected.  However, the for loop (that parses selected radio button options) as well as the conditional (if/else) statement are NOT firing.  When i developed the page on my local host before integrating it, it worked flawlessly (it's a simple function). However upon incorporating it into wcm......broken! i placed alerts all throughout the function to see where it's not firing and it refuses to execute the conditional or the loop. Is there something in wcm that must be enabled to allow conditionals? Is there something else I'm not aware of in WCM?? Any assitance is appreciated.

How quickly the computing world is changing

Here is a great visualization of how rapidly our technology is changing. These steep velocities speak volumes about how disruptive the rise of mobile devices has been, and is:

fxing your indexing service

If you don't see any events or products listed on your site, and your services are running, and apparently configured well, there is another thing to check.

go to you IndexServiceProtected folder, right-click, hit properties, and Advanced.

Make sure that "Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties." is checked.

If you had deleted & recreated the folder, this may have become unchecked, and the indexing service won't see what's there.

Finding Data in the Database

It's sometime useful to search an entire database to find out where some specific data is... for instance, you entered data into the UI but you aren't sure where it got stored.

This post contains a SQL Script to search a database for any specific string in any column in any table in your database.

To use this script, simply edit the first line to set the @value variable to the string you wish to search for (see the comment).  You can include "%" as the standard SQL Wildcard character.  As is, the script will search for any string starting with "C:\" ... but you can use exact strings or any arbitrary string you wish.

iMIS, ACCPAC and Crystal Reports: crpe32.dll

We are having problems with clients that have both iMIS 15.2 and ACCPAC (financial package) installed on workstations.  Following the upgrade of iMIS from 10.6 to 15.2, some machines were having problems runnig custom Crystal Reports, with a message reading "iMIS Crystal Runtime Error. Unable to load report." Standard Crystal Reports were running fine, and we narrowed it down to a known issue with multiple copies of the crpe32.dll.  ASI/iMIS community advice is to delete or rename this file in every location except the one in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0.

iBO COM Code Error with 100% Discount Registrations

Within a product we are using COM based iBO code for processing of registrations.  For some clients we have included the capabilities to include discounts on the registrations via discount functions containing a negative amount to offset the cost of the registration in other functions.

For example:

Main Registration = $100, Discount = -$20, Total Cost = $80.

This code is within a product we created and is not using eSeries any other components other than iBO.

Phone numbers being overwritten during rostering

I have a query :-
when an individual is rostered to an organization, iMIS will ask the user to “Verify Overwrite”, saying “Do you want to overwrite the current Organisation Name and Address?” The answer to this is always yes, however, this will also overwrite phone and fax numbers listed in the work tab, as well as erase mobile numbers. Email addresses are untouched.

This means that unless the user has noted what the phone numbers of an individual are, that individual’s phone numbers will be lost.

This one is from Lotus Restaurant in St. Paul, MN.  The next time I ate there, I got "You can prosper in the field of medical research", so I disregarded it.
