I'm trying to display an image selected from the local machine and I need the location of that image for a JavaScript function. But I'm unable to get the location.
To get the image location, I tried using console.log, but nothing returns.
console.log(document.getElementById("uploadPreview"));
Here's the HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center" style="padding-top: 50px">
<img align="center" id="uploadPreview" style="width: 100px; height: 100px;" />
</div>
<div align="center" style="padding-left: 30px">
<input id="uploadImage" type="file" name="myPhoto" onchange="PreviewImage();" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function PreviewImage() {
var oFReader = new FileReader();
oFReader.readAsDataURL(document.getElementById("uploadImage").files[0]);
oFReader.onload = function (oFREvent) {
document.getElementById("uploadPreview").src = oFREvent.target.result;
console.log(document.getElementById("uploadPreview").src);
};
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Console Output:
Here's the warning:
DevTools failed to load SourceMap: Could not load content for
chrome-extension://alplpnakfeabeiebipdmaenpmbgknjce/include.preload.js.map:
HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME
That's because Chrome added support for source maps.
Go to the developer tools (F12 in the browser), then select the three dots in the upper right corner, and go to Settings.
Then, look for Sources, and disable the options:
"Enable JavaScript source maps"
"Enable CSS source maps"
If you do that, that would get rid of the warnings. It has nothing to do with your code. Check the developer tools in other pages and you will see the same warning.
Go to Developer tools → Settings → Console → tick "Selected context only". The warnings will be hidden. You can see them again by unticking the same box.
The "Selected context only" means only the top, iframe, worker and extension contexts. Which is all that you'll need, the vast majority of the time.

If you are developing, then you need "Enable JavaScript source maps" and "Enable CSS source maps" checked to be able see your source code in Chrome Developer Tools. Unchecking those takes away your ability to debug your source code. It is like turning off the fire alarm instead of putting out the fire. You do not want to do that.
Instead you want to find the extensions that are causing the messages and turn them off. Here is how you do that:
Go to the three dots in the upper right hand corner of Chrome.
Go to "More Tools" and click on "Extensions".
Do this for one extension at a time until no more "SourceMap" errors are in the console:
Turn off the extension by sliding the switch to the left.
Reload the page that you were using the Development Tools on.
Check if any of the "SourceMap" error messages disappeared.
If any did, then that extension was causing those messages.
Otherwise, that extension can be turned back on.
After determining which extensions caused the issue either:
If you need it, then contact the maker to have them fix the issue.
Otherwise, remove the extension.
I stumbled upon this Stack Overflow question after discovering loads of source map errors in the console for the Edge browser. (I think I had disabled the warnings in the Chrome browser long ago.)
For me it meant first realising what a source map is; please refer to Macro Mazzon's answer to understand this. Since it's a good idea, it was just a case of finding out how to turn them on.
It's as simple as adding this line in your webpack.config.js file -
module.exports = {
devtool: "source-map",
}
Now that Edge could detect a source map, the errors disappeared.
Apologies if this answer insults anybody's intelligence, but maybe somebody reading this will be as clueless about source maps as I was.
The include.prepload.js file will have a line like below, probably as the last line:
//# sourceMappingURL=include.prepload.js.map
Delete it and the error will go away.
For me, the problem was caused not by the application in development itself, but by the Chrome extension React Developer Tool. I solved it partially by right-clicking the extension icon in the toolbar, clicking "Manage extension" and then enabling "Allow access to files URLs." But this measure fixed just some of the alerts.
I found issues in the React repository that suggests the cause is a bug in their extension and is planned to be corrected soon - see issues 20091 and 20075.
You can confirm is extension-related by accessing your application in an anonymous tab without any extension enabled.
Chrome has changed the UI in 2022, so this is a new version of the most upvoted reply.
Open the dev tools (hit F12 or Option + Command + J)
Select the gear at the top. There are two gears in that area, so be sure to select the one at the top, top.
Locate the Sources section
Deselect "Enable JavaScript source maps"
Check to see if it worked!
Right: it has nothing to do with your code. I've found two valid solutions to this warning (not just disabling it). To better understand what a source map is, I suggest you check out this answer, where it explains how it's something that helps you debug:
The .map files are for JavaScript and CSS (and now TypeScript too) files that have been minified. They are called SourceMaps. When you minify a file, like the angular.js file, it takes thousands of lines of pretty code and turns it into only a few lines of ugly code. Hopefully, when you are shipping your code to production, you are using the minified code instead of the full, unminified version. When your app is in production, and has an error, the sourcemap will help take your ugly file, and will allow you to see the original version of the code. If you didn't have the sourcemap, then any error would seem cryptic at best.
First solution: apparently, Mr Heelis was the closest one: you should add the .map file and there are some tools that help you with this problem (Grunt, Gulp and Google closure for example, quoting the answer). Otherwise you can download the .map file from official sites like Bootstrap, jQuery, font-awesome, preload and so on... (maybe installing things like popper or swiper by the npm command in a random folder and copying just the .map file in your JavaScript/CSS destination folder)
Second solution (the one I used): add the source files using a CDN (content delivery network). (Here are all the advantages of using a CDN). Using content delivery network (CDN) you can simply add the CDN link, instead of the path to your folder. You can find CNDs on official websites (Bootstrap, jquery, popper, etc.) or you can easily search on some websites like Cloudflare, cdnjs, etc.
Extensions without enough permissions on Chrome can cause these warnings, for example for React developer tools. Check if the following procedure solves your problem:
Right click on the extension icon.
Or
Go to extensions.
Click the three-dot in the row of React developer tool.
Then choose "This can read and write site data".
You should see three options in the list. Pick one that is strict enough based on how much you trust the extension and also satisfies the extension's needs.
I appreciate this is part of your extensions, but I see this message in all sorts of places these days, and I hate it: how I fixed it (this fix seems to massively speed up the browser too) was by adding a dead file
physically create the file it wants it/where it wants it, as a blank file (for example, "popper.min.js.map")
put this in the blank file
{
"version": 1,
"mappings": "",
"sources": [],
"names": [],
"file": "popper.min.js"
}
make sure that "file": "*******" in the content of the blank file matches the name of your file ******.map (minus the word ".map")
(I suspect you could physically add this dead file method to the addon yourself.)
I do not think the warnings you have received are related. I had the same warnings which turned out to be the Chrome extension React Dev Tools. I removed the extension and the errors were gone.
You have just missing files.
Go to the website https://www.cdnpkg.com/.
Download what you need and copy it to the right folder.
For me, the warnings were caused by the Selenium IDE Chrome extension. These warnings appeared in the Console on every page load:
DevTools failed to load source map: Could not load content for chrome-extension://mooikfkahbdckldjjndioackbalphokd/assets/atoms.js.map: HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME

DevTools failed to load source map: Could not load content for chrome-extension://mooikfkahbdckldjjndioackbalphokd/assets/record.js.map: HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME
Since Selenium IDE was already set to be able to read site data on all sites, I uninstalled it. (I read in another comment here that you might try enabling more permissions for an extension instead of removing it.) In my case, removing Selenium IDE (Chrome extension) got rid of the warnings.
It is also possible to add the file that is missing, aside with other .js libraries in the same folder (no need to reference the .map in the .html file, <script> tag).
I had the same error, when trying to code in Backbone.js.
The problematic file was backbone-min.js, and the line that created the error was sourceMappingURL=backbone-min.map.
After downloading the missing file (the link comes from here), the error disappeared.
I had the same problem. I tried to disable the extensions one by one to check it, and finally realized I had Adblock enabled, which was causing this issue. To remove that error I followed the step below,
Three dots (top right corner).
Click More tools --> extensions.
Disable the Adblock.
Reload the page.
And it should work now.
DevTools failed to load source map: Could not load content for chrome-extension://cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb/browser-polyfill.js.map: System error: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
Disable the Chrome extension "Adblock Plus - free ad blocker". https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-plus-free-ad-bloc/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb
Lately this error is caused by the extension.
Problems with Debugging and Sourcemaps in Web Browsers
Hope this clarifies the technicals behind the problem...knowing how things works helps some :)
This browser error means it has some compiled version of your JavaScript in a sourcemap intermediate file it or some 3rd party created that is now needed when debugging that same script in "devtools" in your web browser.
This can happen if your script fails (or in your case trying to get an image source hidden in the sourcemap code that created the script) but whose script error is tied to some JavaScript that got created from an original sourcemap file that now cannot be found to debug that same error. So it's an error about an error, a missing debugging file creating a new error. (crazy, huh?)
This error is likely coming from an extension in the web browser and is reporting it has generated a script error it has recorded in the console.log window of devtools (press F12 in the browser). The error is likely from the extension (not your code) saying it has some code that contains an address to a sourcemap file it cannot access, has a bad URI/URL address, is blocked, or that is missing.
The browser only needs this sourcemap file if a developer using devtools will need to debug the original script again.
A sourcemap, by the way, is a file that translates or transpiles code from one language to another language. Often this is a file that the browser uses to translate this source code into a child script like JavaScript/ECMAScript, or when it needs to do the opposite and recreate the source file from the child script. In most cases this file is not needed at all as a 3rd party software program has already compiled or transpiled the source code into the child script for the browser. For example, developers who like TypeScript use it to create JavaScript. This source code gets transpiled into JavaScript so the browser script engine can run it. The URI/URL to this sourcemap file is usually at the top of the javaScript or application compiled code file in a format like //#....
When this intermediary transpile file is missing or blocked for security reasons in a web browser, the application will usually not care unless it needs the source file for debugging the child script using this source file. In that case it will complain when it feels it needs this file and cannot find it, as it uses it to recreate the source file for the code running in the browser when debugging the script in order to allow a developer to debug the original source code. When it cannot find it, it means that any developer trying to debug it will not be able to do so, and is stuck with the compiled code only. So it is safe to turn off these errors in the various ways mentioned in this post. It should not affect your own scripts if it is connected to an extension. Even if it is related to your own scripts, it is still unlikely you need it unless you plan to run debugging from devtools.
In my case, it was JSON Viewer extension that was blocking the source map files from being loaded
In my case i made silly mistake by adding bootstrap.min.js instead of bootstrap.bundel.js :)
You need to open Chrome in developer mode: select More tools, then Extensions and select Developer mode
My problem is that when I use inappbrowser to open my web page, the main javascript file seems to be ignored, even though it is referenced in the Head of the file that I am opening using ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('https://MYURLHERE:8484/home/login', '_self', 'location=yes');
I am using chrome://inspect/#devices to inspect the console and I get errors when hitting buttons.. Anything referenced in the main.js file is undefined.. whereas the actual code for the autocomplete and button seems to be executing.
Please note The url is working fine when viewed in the chrome browser. The javascript files seem to load correctly, and all variables are defined correctly. - It is only when I use inappbrowser that I see issues with undefined variables.
My code (cordova app):
ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('https://MYURLHERE:8484/home/login', '_self', 'location=yes');
var myInAppBrowserCallback = function(event) {
console.log(event.url, 'LOADED');
};
ref.addEventListener('loadstart', myInAppBrowserCallback);
//Works fine.
My code (from the actual website I'm trying to view in Inappbrowser):
<script src="/Scripts/commonFunctions.js"></script>
var p = 'Hello';
<script src="/Scripts/loginPage.js"></script>
$('#btnLogin').on('click', function() {
alert(p);
});
Returns an alert with undefined.
What I have tried:
Extensive googling! (all the answers seem to be related to javascript not being enabled.. or 404 errors or things like that.. Not with global variables from one js file being undefined in another js file.)
Removing inappbrowser, using window.open.. Won't work as the app needs to execute scripts to inspect localstorage of the site.
Re-installing the android platform using cordova.
Re-installing the plugin.
Checking chrome in the inspector to ensure the files are in sources tab (they are).
Checking that the functions in main.js also exist (they do).
Thanks, JFIT
Summary:
The problem was that a javascript file was trying to load 'SpeechSynthesis' which was undefined only in the inappbrowser.
Details:
The problem with this was confusing but here are the steps I found to debug / solve:
Set up Remote Debugging on the phone so that you can view the console of the phone using chrome://inspect/#devices
View the console of the inappbrowser site (which will show as a seperate page to the inappbrowser instance.
Identify which files are being loaded and remove files until 'undefined' errors disappear.
Add back in the most recent file and start to strip out various functions (especially functions/variables before document.ready (global variables also)
Find the line/variable that way. It was handy for me this way as the actual undefined variable showed up after I removed most of the files.
The actual cause of my error was the speechSynthesis functionality.
The speechsynthesis lines were removed, and I readded all remaining files and everything works. This function works fine in chrome on desktop/android but not in the inappbrowser.
I created an Asp.Net MVC Internet Aplication and in my Index view of the Home Controller I have this
This is the first line, before the script results.
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Script/Teste.js"></script>
<br />
This line comes after the script.
In my Teste.js I have this:
document.write("Yes! I am now a JavaScript coder!");
But nothing happens. If I change the src attribute and put some random name src="aaaa", despite the fact "aaaa" doesnt exist, I get no error in runtime.
EDIT
Also, check your path again. The default MVC templates in VS create a folder called Scripts, not Script. ("~/Scripts/teste.js")
Per the comment below, this was not the root cause of the issue, but in other cases can easily bite new JavaScript developers.
Most likely, your document.write function is firing before the document is ready, leading to the appearance that nothing is happening. Try the following in your Teste.js file
window.onload = function ()
{
document.write("Yes! I am now a JavaScript coder!");
//or even better as a test
alert("This alert was called");
}
Check the source of your page as well, it could be the document is being written to, you just can't see it due to markup/page styling.
As for you second issue, there will be no 'Runtime Exception' thrown if you reference a non-existent file. If you are using tools like Firebug or Chrome's developer tools, you should see a request to http://siteDomain/Scripts/aaaa.js with a response of 404, not found.
You generally should avoid using document.write() unless you absolutely have to use it for some reason... I don't think I've ever come across such a situation, and write a lot of Javascript.
Try this:
1) Put this in your HTML:
<script src="/scripts/teste.js"></script>
2) Put this in your JS:
alert('Yes! I am now a JavaScript coder!');
3) Open Chrome since it makes it easy to look for external resources loading and open the Network tab in Developer Tools (click the menu button at top-right, Tools > Developer Tools, Network tab).
4) Run your project and copy/paste the URL in the browser that comes up into this Chrome window, and hit enter.
When your page loads one of 2 things will happen:
A) You'll get the alert box you wanted or
B) You'll find out why it isn't loading because the Network tab will show the browser attempting to fetch teste.js and failing in some fashion, for example a 404, which would indicate you've got a typo in the path, or the script isn't where you thought it was, etc.
Put the following line at the very end of your document. There should not be anything after. Then try to load the page.
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Script/Teste.js"></script>
Also, try pressing F12 once the page loads to see the source. Check if you script is there.
In MVC, the tilde is used to refer to the root URL of your application. However, it cannot normally parse this information. If you write:
<script src="~/Script/Teste.js"></script>
The lookup will fail, because the ~ means nothing special in HTML. If you're using Razor as your view engine (not ASPX), you need to wrap that call in Url.Content like so:
<script src="#Url.Content(~/Script/Teste.js)"></script>
Doing this will ensure a valid URL is provided to the browser.
With that in mind, you need to check that you have the file name and folder name both correct. You also need to ensure that the file is being deployed with your application. You can do this my opening the properties panel while the file is selected in the Solution Explorer and pressing F4.
I'm receiving a $ is not a function error. This is new since I updated from 3.2.1.
I have an identical setup working on 3.1.
Have folks run into this issue? I have turned off all plugins and am just attempting to load the superfish (or any jquery) and am receiving this error.
What changed that I'm missing? These are all currently on the same server if that is any help.
thank you,
What happens if you change $ to jQuery? Does that work? $ is simply a variable for the jQuery object. In some setups, you need to use jQuery rather than $.
EDIT
I had the same error, and it was because of jQuery not loaded.
You can this error if your jquery is not loading. To determine if this is the case, you need to debug your webpage network traffic using IE9 -> F12 -> Network -> Capture to see if you get 404 for jQuery files (i.e. something/wp-includes/jquery.js), or use same thing in Firefox's Firebug extension.
You can also search for jquery in page source, it should be in tag, and when you find src (i.e. http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.4.min.js) try open it, if it says 404 not found then you need to place jquery in that file on server (or change whatever php/plugin loads that script tag to correct path)
If you do not know how to do this, please provide link to your wordpress installation.
