Environment
Novell NetWare 6.5 SP6
NetStorage 2.0.1
NetStorage 2.0.1
Situation
Performing a right mouse click on the file menus in Netstorage
either don't work at all or work intermittently. You also may see
the following Java script error depending on the browser you are
using:
Syntax error in \tomcat\4\webapps\NetStorage\messages.js.de
If you look in line 122 of the messages.js.de file you will see that it contains "Dateien Verschlüsseln" (including the Quotes) in the Message Text. The Quotes are what seem to be breaking the Javascript.
