demos.kendoui.com - build 2013.2.918 environment issue

[Balamurugavel]

The online demos from demos.kendoui.com was not working in any of the browsers in my machine.

But ironically, demo source which was downloaded from website is working as intended in all browsers.

Troubleshooting this, I attempted to clear cache and all cookies from my browsers which didn't help any. Even I've uninstalled all browsers and re-installed all again to see the same result.

Eventually, seems like release of 2013 Q3 has brought me relief here as demos.kendoui.com started functioning all fine as expected.

I can see that current online demo site is using references from http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2013.3.1119/* which might have resolved the problem.

To simulate the same issue, I've created a fiddle and the link is below and find attachment of an image screenshot which shows error in browser console 'Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input '.

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/balamurugavel/ZYbnh/

Note: Browsers which I've used are IE10, IE9, IE8, IE7, Chrome 31, Firefox 25, Opear 18, Safari 5.1.7.

Any helpful comments would do for me. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

It looks as if you cannot access the Kendo CDN for some reason. The Kendo UI demos seem to work fine when we check them in all supported browsers. Even your jsfiddle demo works as expected when we browse it (check the attached screenshot).

Hi Atanas,

Thanks for the timely response.

Is there anything that you can help me out why I cant access the kendoui static cdn of 2013.2.918 ?

The jsfiddle is using static cdn from following link which is not working in my environment(all browsers):
http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2013.2.918/*

whereas following cdn works perfectly:
http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2013.3.1119/*"

Help me out to resolve my environment issue with earlier mentioned static cdn.

Hi,

You can try downloading the JS file from CDN (the non-working version) and checking it for some unexpected content which would make it invalid.

Hi Atanas,

File kendo.all.min.js from static cdn 2013.2.918 is incomplete.

The above mentioned file measures 10.3kb from static cdn 2013.2.918 whereas the same measures 1.18mb from static cdn 2013.3.1119.

The file source from earlier cdn is content incomplete which might be the reason for http://demos.kendoui.com was not functioning in my environment before latest Q3 release.

Hi,

Unfortunately I cannot tell why your browser fails to download 

http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2013.2.918/js/kendo.all.min.js

but succeeds with

http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2013.3.1119/js/kendo.all.min.js

This sounds like a network error in your configuration. You can try using other browsers, emptying your cache etc. Other than that I cannot suggest other resolution but to use the CDN version which works in your case.

Hi Atanas,

As I've posted in my first thread, I've tried out all possible troubleshootings within my knowledge from my end.

I've removed all caches, cookies and even un-installed all browsers earlier to see the same result.

I've got absolutely no idea about this environment issue. Anyhow, its not a problem for me now, as latest CDN works perfectly for me. But, on other end, I just like to to be cautious about this environment/network issue.

I would really appreciate any suggestions that I can try out if there are any.

Thanks again.
