Recently we have migrated our SharePoint 2007 application to SharePoint 2010 and we also had manually configured few web parts in the new environment. Most of the web parts were working perfectly like sharepoint 2007 but one content editor web part which shows the weather forecast had some wired repeating behavior! 😦

Here is the weather forecast web part in the 2007 which has JavaScript to update the weather from their web site.

The JavaScript code in the Source editor:

I have created the CEWP in 2010 and paste the source code in to the editor.

and Publish the page, It is working fine no? but not really..!

Whenever I edit the page, the web part is duplicating the weather widget like this!

After spending few minutes I have found the solution in this post, actually SharePoint 2010 does not support the JavaScript directly into the source editor. So we cannot copy and paste the JavaScript to the CEWP editor instead, we have to create the scripts as a txt file (paste into a Notepad and save), upload into the SharePoint and then pointing that file as the source of CEWP.

Step 1: Open a Notepad and paste the source code

Step 2: Upload the txt file into SharePoint

Step 3: Get the url path of the txt file and paste it on the content link property of the content editor pane on the right side and click ok.

That’s all. No duplication probs any more. Happy Migrating..!

Thanks. R./
