Blank return with Get object although it works so well with previously developped app

[Microbe]

Hi all,

Something is wrong with the Get object (see sample mfa file and link below): an HTML app won't show received information from the Get object on any of my computer (one laptop, Win7, no matter the browser, and one Dell tablet, Win8, Explorer) but the one I build the app with (but maybe that's a coincidence; edit: and now, it doesn't work anymore; how queer!). The information is received when I run the app from MMF.

See the app online: www.microbe.ca/eco/testage.html (Insert some text in the first blank edit box and press the "Microbe" button.)

What's particularly strange is that another app I developed works without any problem on about any known device (well, most!).

Any idea of what's going on?

Thanks,

MB

Update

Ok, I've reinstall all MMF apps (I think some MMF file or extension got corrupted somehow). Now, App receives information from php script, although this received info starts with two empty spaces. It is easy to parse these out though. It should be ok from now on. Let's roll.

And back to problem #1. :-(

It works with the desktop I built the app with. It doesn't with the laptop and the tablet: Get object receives blank information.

See (and try) it here: eco.uqam.ca/app3/administrer.html. received info should be "ok" for right login info or "non" for wrong login info.

Sorry if I answer over and over on my own thread: it's just in case the information provided here would be useful to someone with the same problem someday.

Ok, for those interested, want to learn something funny? I just learned that this address: eco.uqam.ca/app3/administrer.html is not the same as this one: www.eco.uqam.ca/app3/administrer.html. The latter works well and Get information is well received. The former doesn't.

(Bam! bam! bam! - my head on my desk. But at least, I can go on!)

We should put a warning when you drop a get object in HTML5 : this object, due to limitation imposed by the navigators, only work when the destination URL is on the same server as as the html file. So if your app is local, and your data is remote, it will not work.
I'll see if detecting this within the runtime is possible in order to display an error message.

"So if your app is local, and your data is remote, it will not work."

Yes, this, I noticed (and read somewhere here in the forum). But the problem I encountered was that even if the app and the data were remote, Get object received blank information. It was because when I wanted to test my app on other computers, I (lazily) typed the app address in the address bar without "www" (while the get object of the app connected through the same address with "www"). By typing the address with its "www", the app worked fine (and still work fine!).
