Workspaces down again.

Getting blank AJAX Basics in newly opened workspaces in the JQuery and AJAX section. Been happening on and off since Sunday evening. Project file downloads are simply videos so that isn't working either. Is this happening to anyone else? I've closed the browser and jumped back in to no avail. Getting a little annoying having my progress stymied by Treehouse website problems for the last 36+ hours.

Hi Gregory,

Sorry to hear that you're having problems with the site. Can you tell me what particular video you're have issues with?

jQuery AJAX shorthand workspace blank i.e. no files, project files just videos, Posting Data with jQuery workspace blank, project files just videos, The jQuery AJAX method workspace blank project files just videos.

Some of the JQuery and AJAX workspaces for other videos in the series are working. Is it possible that these for some reason just don't include workspaces even though he is coding in them and the quizzes reference the code that is gone over in the videos?

I think that's probably the case. Not all the videos for this course have pre-defined workspaces. We can setup a default workspace for these cases. I'll let you know when we have a fix in place.

Hi Gregory Jackson

Not all videos have a workspace associated with them. The ones in the jQuery stage that do are:

  • Video 1: Introducing jQuery
  • Video 3: The Office Status Project Revisited
  • Video 7: Stage 3 Challenge

We don't provide workspaces for all of the videos. The videos without workspaces demonstrate how to use jQuery in a variety of situations that require server-side programming. Since we don't cover server-side programming in this particular course (we do have lot of other courses on server-side programming however) we don't have fully functioning workspaces for those videos -- in other words, following along with the video in workspace wouldn't produce a working example.

Hope that makes sense.

It makes sense I just thought that like Sunday evening when all the workspaces were showing up blank for me that it was happening again. Thanks Dave and Andrew for your responses.
