Site held captive need to move

New client called. They are not happy with current host and webmaster. So, they paid for hosting with another company.

Old host is refusing to give ftp to allow us to view files for site. The site is ONE PAGE and old host said it would take HOURS and cost HUNDREDS to make the move. What? Plus, client isn't too keen on giving old host new ftp info and I can't blame them.

I was able to go in and grab all the code, the css and js files and put on my site to test but the weird thing is that there are no img tags. So, while I have all the file structure (at least I don't think I forgot anything) the site doesn't display properly.

THere is a part of the html that I am not familiar with and am not sure how to bring to test server, it is below:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

Any help would be appreciated. Here is test link:

it looks like that code is on one of their shared drives hence the "//"
or were you able to get that script from the server ?

can you post the files ?

The site is missing a few files.

1) main.css is the same as normalize.css - Download main.css again.

2) modernizr-2.6.2.min.js is missing - Download again or use a CDN like below.

<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/modernizr/2.6.2/modernizr.min.js"></script>

Open in new window

3) main.js is missing - Download again.

4) That Google jQuery script is the minified jQuery file, hosted by Google Hosted Libraries. You can use Google or other CDN resources to offload js files from your site.

I did 1-3 above.

I went to google hosted libraries and found the following:

jQuery
snippet: <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
site: http://jquery.com/
versions: 2.1.0, 2.0.3, 2.0.2, 2.0.1, 2.0.0, 1.11.0, 1.10.2, 1.10.1, 1.10.0, 1.9.1, 1.9.0, 1.8.3, 1.8.2, 1.8.1, 1.8.0, 1.7.2, 1.7.1, 1.7.0, 1.6.4, 1.6.3, 1.6.2, 1.6.1, 1.6.0, 1.5.2, 1.5.1, 1.5.0, 1.4.4, 1.4.3, 1.4.2, 1.4.1, 1.4.0, 1.3.2, 1.3.1, 1.3.0, 1.2.6, 1.2.3
note: 1.2.5 and 1.2.4 are not hosted due to their short and unstable lives in the wild.

1. I changed the code on the site from
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

to this:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

2. I then went to jquery.com and found the download page here
http://jquery.com/download/

Would I go to this page and download the file onto the server? Seems like I would not need to do that since the original link doesn't appear to be on the servers.

It looks like main.css file is still the same as normalize.css. The rest looks good. Also, check to see if any declarations are using background images. You'll want to download those as well.

If you are using the Google CDN for the jQuery file, you do not need to download it and host it yourself. The client browser will download the jQuery file from Google instead of your server.

Change it to,

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

If you visit this URL you will find the jquery you're looking for

It is hosted by Google not the old host. So it make no difference to
move it to the new host
