One of my PCs cannot display any of the new “Modern Lists / Library Experience” pages, including the OneDrive for Business pages. The pages are just blank. The issue turned out to be a URL that was in one of my blocked lists that is used to load a JavaScript library used by these new pages:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://spoprod-a.akamaihd.net/files/odsp-next-prod_ship-2016-07-18_20160720.003/require-951f856e.js">
Removing akamaihd.net from my blocked list let these pages work again. The weird part is that this was only an issue in Internet Explorer 11. The pages loaded fine when using FireFox.
About the “Modern Library” Pages
These pages are almost completely generated from JavaScript, not HTML embedded in the page. If you use IE’s View Source command you will find that these pages are actually a bit weird, at least from an HTML point of view. The W3 validator page (http://validator.w3.org/check) has nothing nice to say about these pages!
The page as delivered, before the JavaScript runs, basically looks like this:
- A DOCTYPE directive that says the following is XHTML (but the W3 validator has issues with this):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> - An HTML tag that includes two meta tags and a number of <script> tags:
<html dir="ltr" lang="en-US"><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"/>- A meta tag (outside of the HTML and HEAD tags!):
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, … /> - A link tag to an icon:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="_layouts/15/images/favicon.ico … /> - Seven script blocks, one of which points to an external source:
<script …. ></script> - There are no <HEAD> tags!
- A meta tag (outside of the HTML and HEAD tags!):
- An end HTML tag:
</html> - An then an empty <BODY> tag: (And I thought this had to be between <HTML> and </HTML>!)
<body> </body> - And then several <script> tags (again outside of <HTML> … </HTML>!):
<script …. ></script>
Oh, customizers take note, the traditional SharePoint master pages are not used here! There go all of our customizations… so far anyway.
