Browser can't load interactive HTML files

Question

Hi all,

Did anyone get a problem opening interactive HTML files ?

I have a 4Mb journal (with lots JMP graphs) that, when converted to interactive HTML, can't be opened with any type of browser.

I already tried chrome, firefox and IE. None of them could open the JMP generated interactive HTML.

I'm using JMP 15.1.

Thanks in advance

The issue with special characters mentioned by @jt2 has been fixed in JMP 16.

Issues with large files or complex reports, will still exist since browsers often don't have the resources and speed of desktop applications.  Working with tech support, we can tell if the issue is due to size or complexity.

I have had couple of these issues. Most of them have either been related to too big .html files and takes too long to open OR special characters/combinations in the JMP datatable which get saved to .html and browsers don't like them (you can try checking browsers developer tools to find issues). In cases with special characters I have usually just removed those characters from datatable for quick fix.

At least for me this will cause issues:

Names Default To Here(1);

dt = New Table("Untitled 19",
	Add Rows(4),
	Compress File When Saved(1),
	New Column("Column 1",
		Numeric,
		"Continuous",
		Format("Best", 12),
		Set Values([1, 2, 3, .])
	),
	New Column("Column 2",
		Character,
		"Nominal",
		Set Values({"c:\2", "a", "b", ""}),
		Set Display Width(65)
	),
	Set Label Columns(:Column 2)
);

nw = New Window("test",
	Graph Builder(
		Size(534, 456),
		Show Control Panel(0),
		Variables(X(:Column 1), Y(:Column 2)),
		Elements(Points(X, Y, Legend(3)))
	)
);
nw << Save Interactive HTML("$TEMP/deleteme.html");
Close(dt, no save);

Open("$TEMP");

Checking browser developer tools the issue is: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Octal escape sequences are not allowed in strict mode". Most likely related to this: c:\2 (it will work if you remove either \ or the numbers immediately after it). Hopefully I don't tag wrong person for Interactive HTML reports but @John_Powell_JMP

Hi Ricardo,

I'm seeing the same issue on a smaller file.  Can you describe the section that appears to be causing the problem so I can modify my report whilst awaiting a permanent solution?

Thank you,
