Build Your Landrover - error? - Half fixed
Hi
LR at last seem to have the D4 on 'Build Your Land Rover' - but every time I try to run it I get an error message:
This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js.
I can build any other car - just not the D4.
I've tried 3 different browsers, three different computers and two locations... so presume it is a LR error - or can anyone else access it?
Typically, there's no technical contact details to report errors. I might try making up a few email addresses.
I wonder whether this is intentional or a balls up?D4 XS MY12 Galway

The D4 part does not work, you need to select D3 and then select the enhancement pack I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Very good....
However, I wonder if it doesn't work 'cos it's not ready yet - or 'cos someone's not loaded it correctly?
Surely it would be better to have a 'coming soon' page than to throw up an error?
Anyone got an email address for someone with some clout at LR?D4 XS MY12 Galway

I can't believe they don't test this stuff, but it seems to be taking a long time for them to sort the D4 part of the site. Gradually more information is being added. The Car Configurator only showed a D3 option until a couple of days ago despite customers actually getting cars already. You're not the only one getting the silly javascript error (which you don't get for RRS/FFRR 2010) so if anyone could pass this on to the dopey pillocks who run the LR website (without ever testing it apparently) that would be grand.
By the way, ac, unless they've really done up the D4 one this isn't a configurator like you get from every other manufacturer where you can select all the options, view it from all angles, print it out and contact a dealer with details. It just lets you see some static pictures of the model (XS/HSE) 4 wheel options, 3 interior cloth options and about 10 colours, so I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for this technical feat (thanks LR for the lovely ca. 1999 website)

mack - I've just tried the RR Sport 'configurator' - what a waste of time!! As you say - it really doesn't give you very much at all. I'm sure the old D3 one was much more useful and adaptable.
The new one even has 'moody lighting' - which basically means you can't even see what little there is!
Edit:
I've just gone through the RRS site - at the end, there's an option to compare models and prices... but it links to.... you guessed it - an error page

Actually, I think from memory as I tried it last week (thinking it was the new D4 one as the RRS/FFRR were 2010) the D3 was no better.

AC_RunActiveContent.js. is a new Java Script page missing from your computer. I checked this out on Java's web site. It looked far too complicated to me to download necessary fix. I'm just going to wait until my XS D4 in Nara Bronze arrives next month, so I can see it in the flesh so to speak!4 x 4 x Really Far!

That's the message - javascript pages are .js files of script downloaded to your computer the same as the main html page is so scripts on the page work, only it looks like when it tries to load this someone has cocked the link up so it either points at a different file name or they haven't copied it into the location. Its a dead simple fix at their end.

from Adbobe website =
AC_RunActiveContent.js: This is the file you use for the workaround for Flash and Shockwave content described in External JavaScript Solution 2: For Multiple Occurrences of Embedded Content.
External JavaScript solution 2: For multiple occurrences of embedded content
If your site has a lot of embedded active content, or if you embed it in multiple ways, this solution gives you some big advantages. You can use a single external JS file for all of your embedded Flash and Shockwave content, instead of creating one for each affected file (as in Solution 1). The JS file contains functions that embed your active content based on parameters it receives from the main page.
There are three steps you need to follow to implement this solution:
1. Copy the external JS file that contains the workaround functions to a shared location on your website. Call it AC_RunActiveContent.js for this example, or other names that you choose.
The code in the AC_RunActiveContent.js file uses arguments that you pass to it (see Step 3) to construct a complete tag string that it writes to your document.
2. Add a JavaScript include statement that points to the shared JavaScript files from Step 1 to the <head> section of each web page on your site that includes an <object>/<embed> tag:
3. Replace each instance of <object> and <embed> tags in your pages with the appropriate function calls. Here are two function calls for you to choose from: one for Flash content and one for Shockwave content.
so basically LR web desiner is missning this file in a central location!!Experience is a difficult teacher, because she gives the test first and then the lesson afterwards!!!!
