There I was happily chugging along with 4.0.3 and I noticed several nice fixes in 4.0.15. So - being conditioned that up-to-date=good by Microsoft, Java, Flash, and a myriad of others, I performed and upgrade to 4.0.15.

However - when I published the app, almost EVERY single page included the following code at the top of the HTML page:

//Begin CCS script
//DEL </script>
//DEL <script language="JavaScript" src='../ClientI18N.aspx?file=Functions.js&locale={res:CCS_LocaleID}' type="text/javascript" charset="windows-1252"></script>
//DEL <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
//DEL

This, of course, makes "//DEL //DEL //DEL" appear on most every page! I just spent the last hour going through hundreds of CCS pages removing the offending HTML.

Now - I'm not trying to be a whiner here but is this common when performing updates? I just need to know so I can plan properly before I do any upgrades. If I wait too long between updates will be problem be worse? I think I am beginning to see the dark side of this code generation paradigm.

I wonder what else is broken? (shudder!)

You could have used the replace feature to replace the "//DEL //DEL //DEL" in your code. Also, if this is a consistant problem I would definitely report this to support ( http://support.yessoftware.com ).

Actually - that won't work. The ENTIRE code block I showed is what is in the HTML. The "//DEL //DEL //DEL" is only what is rendered due to the face that the </script> tags confuse the browser. Believe me - if it was a simple search and replace I would have been all over it.

It should also be noted that the code blocks varied slightly from page to page so there was nothing really consistent that I could key on even if I wanted to.

My main concern is the amount of entropy in the upgrade process. I have logged 2 other issues caused by the upgrade in addition to the above:

*The temp directory used for file uploads no longer works - it defaults to %Temp which worked fine in 4.0.3 but in 4.0.15 does not. Changed to hard path c:\temp to resolve.

*All pages that use a Client - Set Focus Action broke (focus code in Onload event did not fire). Had to manually insert a javascript tag at the bottom of each page to force focus on control. This worked fine in 4.0.3.
