Molecule builder is disabled in some browsers

Post by danielberger »

We changed our Apache server to use https instead of http, to avoid all the security warnings.
But now, in some browsers, notably Edge, the program appears to be disabled. I'm getting no menus or toolbar in the builder, and the right and left arrows at the bottom of the window do nothing.

When I open an existing job, no structure appears in the window.

A screenshot is attached.

Dan,

Please check your browser console for details. My guess is that you have "mixed content", in other words some things are being loaded over HTTP while others are being loaded via HTTPS. This often causes secruity warnings and failures of the browser to load the scripts, etc.

WebMO works great over pure HTTPS, and in fact this is desirable! The console logs will likely provide the answer.

This may also be the same general Chromium issue reported here: viewtopic.php?p=517#p517.
