Please bear with me while reading this.
Having no experience whatsoever with web coding...
Copied (through FTP) a spiderbasic generated html file to my comcast webpage.
Also copied the spiderbasic.js file and copied also the remaining javascript files (~35MB) to the website in their respective folders.
Still when I access the webpage I still have a blank page.
Does someone know if comcast disallows javascript on a users webpage?
Thanks in advance...

Re: How to get spiderbasic working on a comcast user website
Dunno about comcast, but maybe you just got it wrong with path. Try this nifty tool to be sure.

Thanks for the reply.
Saw the tool, but thought that it only works with a local webserver.
Actually before I copied the files to the webpage I looked at this tool's code and manually did what it does:
but to no avail...

Looked at the created html file and found:
Suppose this is because the file was generated by SpiderBasic for Windows.
But what if the comcast webserver is running on unix?
(you know BSD/Linux/Solaris...)
Is this a problem?

This file is just for the "Windows" look and feel of the SB windows. On your server you should have all the libraries/ directory as specified in the .html
Re: How to get spiderbasic working on a comcast user website
Just found this info (from 2004) on comcast user forum:
Stupid comcast
Thank you all...
and this one from 2013:No Serverside scripts are allowed on Comcast because of security reasons.
It seems they still block scripts, this means no SpiderBasic for thisYou can use HTML, CSS, and Javascript but cannot install any server side scripts. Everything must be client side.
Stupid comcast
Thank you all...
Re: How to get spiderbasic working on a comcast user website
afaik spiderbasic does not do anything serverside, it's all js/css/html executed on client side.
Re: How to get spiderbasic working on a comcast user website
thats correct spiderbasic is entirelly client side NO server side scripting needed
i.e. you can leave it in a FTP site and/or your computer folder and it will(should) work
