jquery-ui is missing jquery ... sometimes [SOLVED - kind of]

Using HTML Composer I have included both jquery.js and jquery-ui.js.
When I view the source of the rendered HTML page I see

<SCRIPT id=ITEM4 type=text/javascript rtFileName="/WFC/Repository/Common/hidden_content/jquery.js"></SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT id=ITEM5 type=text/javascript rtFileName="/WFC/Repository/Common/hidden_content/jquery-ui.js"></SCRIPT>


Sometimes this works just fine (i.e. as expected). But every now and then (and it seems that it happens mostly after not having run it for a while) the execution of the jquery-ui script fails because jQuery is undefined. If I then try again, all is fine. This happens in IE, Chrome, and FF.

When I try the same on a simple HTML page (outside of WebFOCUS), e.g. like http://jqueryui.com/dialog/#modal-form, it works as expected and however often I try, jquery-ui works just fine (with the same JS files I use in WebFOCUS).

I am starting to suspect rtFileName ...

It could be that others have encountered this (see this previous entry).

Is hotfix 7 working? If so, is it included in WebFOCUS 8.0.0.1?

The culprit is rtFileName - every time we make a change to the HTML page and rtfile is stuffed in, we replace it with src.

I have no clue if HOTFIX 7 is available, it was supposed to be available at the end of October and was pushed forward every month. Last I heard, mid-Feb was the new date... And are we really sure Hotfix 7 will fix this?

The "solution" or workaround I came up with is to put the jquery and jquery-ui file contents (in this order) in one large JavaScript file and "insert" this file into the page (using HTML Composer).

Since then I have not had the problem.

What worries me is that IBI apparently is not able to distribute fixes for different problems in different Hotfixes. What's wrong with quickly rolling out Hotfix 7 with a fix for this annoying problem and then move everything that isn't ready for release yet to a next Hotfix?

People are struggling with this bug EVERY time they save a HTML file with custom Javascript (in our case, that's EVERY HTML file), which causes the irritation factor to grow rapidly, combined with a decline in confidence in IBI's capabilities. We're at the point now that we're surprised when IBI actually comes up with a fix for a problem.

The reported issues with the HTML Composer, ibirls3.js, file in earlier releases of WebFOCUS 7.7x , along with some other issues have been addressed in Hotfix 7.
The Hotfix is now available for download on https://techsupport.informationbuilders.com
(select Download > My Downloads/Shipments).
Customer Support Services has opened some additional cases and will be contacting the customers on this board to ensure that ALL the issues are addressed, not only in 77x but 8.0x as well.
