[Archive-access-discuss] Crawling Flash and Javascript

[Leon, A. <Le...@si...>]

Hi All,

I have a question regarding crawling Flash and Javascript.  Currently, I am utilizing Heritrix 1.14.4 and Wayback 1.4.2 and I have had issues capturing fully functioning websites.  Websites that utilize javascript heavily have banners missing or empty widget boxes, and Flash content is virtually nonexistent.  Within the next few months we will be upgrading to the newest versions of both programs, but I'm concerned that these problems will still exist.

So, I'm wondering if any of you have encountered this issues and what have you done to remedy them? Is this a Heritrix issue or a Wayback issue? And lastly, did upgrading the software fix the problems?  Thank you all in advance.

Anne
