Random Quote Machine pen breaks after a while

1

Hi, I did the Random Quote Machine webpage with all it’s functionalities, it was working perfectly but after a while I reopened the pen and now the page it’s broken.

  • I tried to copy the code to a new pen but not even the css works as it should there.
  • Searched the web to see if I could find something about it but no luck.
  • I also did it again, from zero, but this keeps happening (when I save it works but then is broken)

What can it be?

This is the pen https://codepen.io/fzanollo/pen/apqJwa

Thanks for your help

Hi !

You are loading code pen over https but try to make a request over http.
The browser prevents mixed content calls and block it (check you dev tools (if you’re on Chrome) / console).

Load your codepen over http:
http://codepen.io/fzanollo/pen/apqJwa3

or fix that function:

function getQuote(){
$.getJSON("http://api.forismatic.com/api/1.0/?method=getQuote&lang=en&format=jsonp&jsonp=?")
.done(update)
.fail(handleErr);
}

to make an AJAX call to https site.

By “fix” I mean either check if “api.forismatic.com” serves content over https and make https call or find and another API serving quotes over https.
