Hey, I came across this blog post while searching for help with JavaScript. I've recently changed browsers from Chrome to Mozilla Firefox 3.1. Now I seem to have a issue with loading JavaScript. Every time I browse site that requires Javascript, my computer does not load and I get a "runtime error javascript.JSException: Unknown name". I cannot seem to find out how to fix it. Any aid is very appreciated! Thanks

Hello,
the users need to delete the browser content on exit to get the latest version of the included js file.

I think this approach gives rise to a deployment problem. How are you supposed to update the .js file on the client side when you update the .js file on the server side?
IE does not automatically get the updated .js file.

please let me know, if I am wrong

You know Ronald, I think you're right. I haven't thought about this approach in quite a while but you could declare constants with the two on-line and off-line locations within and use the IsOutlookLaptopClient() to make a determination of which to use.

Great idea.

Thanks, Mitch

I'm just thinking that it should be possible to use this code in the offline client as well. You will need to deploy the javascript file separately to the crm clients. Then modify the script to determine the location of the javascript file. You can use the function "IsOutlookLaptopClient()" in the javascript code. If it is indeed the offline client, then you'd need to set the url of the script to the location of the script on the client.

Just a thought :)

[...] In the article, Including custom JavaScript files in MSCRM 3.0, I discussed using an external JavaScript code library to help reduce maintenace costs. Seemed like a good idea, at the time. Then I got to thinking about the CRM Laptop client and how it is disconnected from the main CRM server and realized that I had just created an unsupportable and unviable installation. [...]
