content from a remote server with javascript

[franzpeter]

Steps to reproduce the issue

There are content providers like Icecat, who offer a method to get content from a remote server into local page via Javascript. So you can display that inside a Joomla article for example by inserting that code (if tinymce for example is configured to allow js). It will get encoded with CDATA. I did try out but receive DOM error while using with Joomla. Creating a normal php file (not Joomla) works without any problem. Tried with WP: no problem. So I think there may be a problem with Joomla. Did add a picture to better demonstrate what I mean.

Expected result

correct display, loading everything and showing up

Actual result

DOM error, picture gallery not loaded.

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla 3.4.1

You can check here. It is a simple php page that by default and without joomla works without problems. Your text to link here...

• Blocked loading mixed active content "http://live.icecat.biz/js/live-current.js"
  Your example page doesn't work because it's using SSL while your script inclusion isn't.
• I've just tested this in a default Joomla! installation and everything works fine.
  
• I also disabled tinyMCE (all editors are known to cause issues when you're trying to embed your own code) and switched to "Editor - None" during my test.

OctavianC, and you do not get something like SyntaxError: DOM Exception 12: An invalid or illegal string was specified.

?
On my localhost I have no SSL, but getting that error above!

Sorry but this is a support type question and belongs on the forum not on the core joomla issue tracker

[franzpeter]

I do not understand why it was closed. The issue does not exist using the protostar template but it exists using beez template. Beez produces the DOM exception 12, protostar does not.
