Symptoms

Javascript file with Alert is not executed from WebCenter Portal.
Other Javascript files can be executed without issue.

STEPS

The issue can be reproduced with the following steps:

1. Create a Javascript file that calls an alert.
   e.g.:
    
   myFunction.js
    
    
    
    
2. Upload the html file to WebCenter Portal.
   
   

   • Go to the Documents page of the portal where the Javascript file was uploaded.
      

   • Upload the TestAlert.html file.
      

   • Select the TestAlert.html file and click "Get Link" to get the document links.
      

   • Note down the file additional link.
     It should look like this:
      
     http://<HOST>:<PORT>/webcenter/content/conn/WebCenterSpaces-ucm/path/Enterprise Libraries/PortalTest/TestAlert.html
     

3. Open a new browser window and enter the html document URL.  Notice the alert does not work.
