  your daily JavaScript breakage of the day: animenewsnetwork.com
• 20:12
  tomman
  since a few days ago, the page is coming up without actual contents, only headers, sidebars, footers, and of course, ads
• 20:12
  tomman
  but... the contents are there!
• 20:12
  tomman
  just hidden
• 20:13
  tomman
  look for DIVs with class "mainfeed-day" - many of their childrens have display: none set
• 20:15
  tomman
  (either H2 tags explicitely hidden with display: none; or any DIV with classes "herald box is-filtered" where the display: none is actually declared on .herald.box.is-filtered)
• 20:15
  tomman
  BUT!
• 20:16
  tomman
  those display:none are being set via JS, not on the actual HTML/CSS served by the server!
• 20:16
  tomman
  no JS errors are seen on console, however
• 20:17
  tomman
  the is-filtered class is being set programmatically by whatever hellstew of JS framework they're serving, but why?
• 20:18
  tomman
  Oh, don't bother clicking the "load more" button - it will request more contents over AJAX... but they will get hidden too on load :/
• 20:18
  tomman
  the sidebar contents seems to be mostly gone too
• 20:20
  tomman
  the only noteworthy script served by them is this: cdn.animenewsnetwork.com/assets/ea8…1fba5aa4005fffcf955afa9ff951c503.js
• 20:20
  tomman
  aside of jQuery, something named "hammer.js" and svg4everybody, a surprisingly light dependency list
• 20:23
  tomman
  no JavaScript errors are logged, so I suspect that it could not be Chromeisms this time
• 20:23
  tomman
  or rather, some undefined behavior?
• 21:01
  njsg
  oooh css-hidden
• 21:01
  njsg
  those are my favourite, I guess
• 21:01
  njsg
  as expected, for js-driven hiding, I see content :-D
• 21:01
  njsg
  photos, that's different, though
• 21:02
  njsg
  but yeah, I'd guess some error somewhere in the ecmascript code that might eventually lead to unhiding
• 21:04
  njsg
  tomman: hm, any page should show the issue?
• 21:05
  njsg
  I can't reproduce
• 21:05
  » njsg goes try adding ja to accept-content
• 21:06
  njsg
  still can't reproduce (and yes, I'm testing with js enabled)
• 21:15
  Myckel
  Here I get: no-js: images not shown and with js: images shown. It only seems to be the images though.

  test profile seems fine. Latest and greatest 2.53.12b1 pre
• 21:32
  tomman
  njsg: it only affects the homepage, it seems
• 21:32
  tomman
  only the headlines are missing
• 21:32
  tomman
  and some items on the sidebar
• 21:33
  tomman
  huh, on a private tab it renders fine!?
• 21:33
  tomman
  OK... let me trying clearing cookies
• 21:34
  tomman
  cleared cookies did nothelp
• 21:34
  tomman
  but clearing local storage did
• 21:35
  njsg
  hm, that's bad, they need to create another storage level so that stuff isn't so easy to delete
• 21:37
  tomman
  something got corrupted somehow on animenewsnetwork.com local storage stuff, weird
• 21:38
  tomman
  no, my HDD isn't dying (well, not THIS one, yet!)
• 21:38
  tomman
  maybe cosmic radiation flipped a bit in RAM that got persisted?
• 21:51
  njsg
  as far as it's only cosmic... with the fighting in the zone of alienation and seismic activity near Fukushima...
• 22:01
  tomman
  well, if nukes start flipping bits on my HDD platters, I think I would have much bigger fish to fry than just random corrupted data...
• 22:01
  tomman
  even backups won't save us this time
