Menus and Help Button? about ray-optics HOT 7 CLOSED

Tried it on Windows 10 Chrome Version 98.0.4758.102 (Official Build) (64-bit) and Edge Version 98.0.1108.62 (Official build) (64-bit). Cannot reproduce the error.

Can you post a screenshot of the console logs in the console window? (Ctrl+Shift+I > Console)

Did the error persist in Incognito/Private Mode?

Thanks for trying it out. I tried in the Incognito mode and both the online and local versions have the same problem.
The console yields:

in the local version and

in the online version. (Both on Chrome),

.. these problems seem to be on startup and no more error are reported on hover or click. But no menus are visible.

The logs indicates that your machine cannot access the jQuery script, which is a dependency of ray-optics.

Can you access the jQuery script directly? The link should show some JavaScript code as below:

Thats interesting. In fact I cannot access that site.

I think it's due to some errors in your internet connection or your machine's DNS cache. You may try out some potential solutions:

• Flush your DNS Cache
  Follow the instructions in this post and reopen ray-optics in Incognito mode.
• Download ray-optics to local file system, change the URL in Line 380 of simulator/index.html to another CDN you have access to (maybe https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js) and open this HTML file locally. If the console shows other ERR_CONNECTION_RESET errors as shown in the image below, you may need to resolve the connection issue for each dependency. (Line 380-383 in simulator/index.html)
  
• Try out ray-optics on another machine

Thanks a lot for the hints!
After flushing the DNS cache (which needed several restarts) in incognito mode nothing changed.
In the normal mode I get an additional warning:

However, changing Line 380 of simulator/index.html did the trick and now everything sees to work fine.
Maybe one can somehow put this as an alternative? No idea why I cannot access the other site. Possibly the virus scanners are preventing this? I am using a university computer, but from my home.

By the way. We are interested in possibly using your fantastic tool as a basis for a tutorial on optical alignment. A student may contact you soon. I think a first step would be some properties of restricting the ability of users to influence all properties of the various elements. Ultimately we are also thinking of upgrading the raytracing to 3D but keeping the view(s) 2D. But anyway, this is a different discussion.
