[EP-tech] Black overlay covers half of the webpage

Wed Sep 27 15:35:58 BST 2017

Every index.html file from [EPRINTS_ROOT]/archives/[ARCHIVEID]/html/en and
other subdirectories contains these two lines:
<script src="https://eprints.domain.com/javascript/secure_auto.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="/javascript/auto-3.3.15.js"></script>
I assume it should contain just one of the lines.

Are these files generated with a template? Or what could make eprints to
generate these files containing both those lines?
