Error description
In HOD v11, I found we can't download the HOD Client when end-user uses a French browser: you get a blank page without HOD Client. On Error console, you can see the message "hodMsgs is not defined". The reason is hoddetect_fr.html file doesn't contain " ; " (semicolon) at the end of a few lines used to define hodMsgs (lines on hodMsgs[1], [2] and [3]). The problem doesn't appear when you use a English browser (I verified with IE v8 and FF English v3.5.7), because HOD uses "hoddetect.html" file, which contains all required semicolons. I tested on Firefox v3.5.7 - French version : the problem appears.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All French language users with Java detect * * enabled. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: HOD French client did not load because * * of syntax errors in hoddetect_fr.html * * file. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** HOD's detect Java logic eventually uses hoddetect_xx.html file before loading the HOD client. For French users, the hoddetect_fr.html file had some syntax errors which caused the HOD client not to load.
Problem conclusion
Corrected the syntax errors in hoddetect_fr.html file. Fix is scheduled to be available in HOD 11.0.2 Refresh Pack
