Question

In FF and all, my javascript works fine. But in Chrome it gives this message:

Resource interpreted as script but transferred with MIME type text/plai

Answer 1

For Java Application servers such as Weblogic

1) Make sure your weblogic.xml file is free of errors

like this one:

    

    
        true
    
    MyWebApp

2) Add a mime type for javascript to your web.xml file:

    ...
        

            
            js        
            application/javascript        
        

        
    ...

This will also work for other Java containers - Tomcat etc. application/javascript is currently the only valid mime-type; others like text/javascript have been deprecated.

3) You may need to clear up your browser cache or hit CTRL-F5
