Need help with cross-platform anomaly -

Hope someone can help, as I am at my wit's end (which is short to start with). At this page http://www.ctkparish.ca/maps.html I have inserted 4 thumbnail maps that link to 4 larger images. Clicking on a thumbnail should display the larger images on a new page. I've successfully done this multi-times before with picture albums. The page at the URL above works with every browser I could find and try on my Mac (IE, Netscape, Safari), and I can see the proper link displayed on the status bar at the bottom on Inetrnet Explorer ... BUT does NOT function properly when a user is looking at the page with a Windows PC. When viewed from a PC, the thumbnail link to the larger image does not work. I'm at a loss as to why! So, I've had to revert to just showing the larger images directly (see http://ctkparish.ca/maps2.html) which is certainly not as esthetically pleasing to the my eye. Can anyone suggest a possible reason why this doesn't work? Thanks in advance for any clues. |

Netscape.
If I copy the code to my own pc, and view it in IE, I get an
error message, saying this:
Line: 29
Column: 1
Error: object expected
Code: 0
URL: (url to the page on my pc)
And
Line: 34
Column:1
Error: 'ie' not defined
Code: 0
URL: (url to the page on my pc)
Line 29 is in the second JavaScript, and says:
showToolbar();
Line 34 is in the third JavaScript, and says:
if (ie&&keepstatic&&!opr6)
I know nothing about JavaScript, so I hope someone else can
shed some light on this for you.
Another thing I noticed, is that the style block is between
the </head> and the <body>, this should be inside the
<head></head>.
If you would put a doctype on your page, you could use the
validator, which would probably point out, that
<font color="#2D347E" face="Metro" "> is bad markup.
If I copy the code from Netscape, that last " isn't there,
and the page works in IE. But IE apparently adds that "
because of the space you left between "Metro" and >.
Anyway, take out that space, hopefully IE doesn't add the "
then. The links work as expected without the extra ".

Many thanks, Els - when I have some spare time (tonight?), I will pursue your comments above, and hope that they resolve the problem. as you can tell, I'm not an expert in this HTML code stuff, but am muddling through with the help of my friends! I'm glad to hear that it works in Netscape & Opera, so the problem isn't so insidious as originally thought. The menu javascript has worked for many months, UNTIL I put these thumbnail links in, so I don't think that it's the main culprit. My GoLive validator says "no errors" when it checks the code, so I thought it was okay. |
someone from pure html markup to html for data and css for
markup. The next day she uploaded the page, and it was all
messed up. I checked the code, and guess what? The entire
stylesheet was in alfabetical order, and some td's had
swapped places in the html. I asked her about it, and she
hadn't done anything to the documents I sent her, only
copied them into GoLive and uploaded it.
Even if it were her fault for not using the correct settings
in GoLive, how can a program to make webpages even get close
to doing such a thing?
Maybe it is GoLive itself that put in the extra space. Keep
a close look on that after you take the space out.

I will action your last paragraph and then have my PC friends test it anew. Again Mucho thanks for your taking the time to look at the code and respond. |

Whoops! There goes another anonymous posting name - I used the wrong
personality to reply the last time.
(I made the (space)" changes and am waiting for my PC & IE-equipped
daughter to confirm that the links now function for her - if so, I'm
home free. I visited your web page and see that I will have no end of
reading to pursue more knowledge in this area. Other websites I've done
with DreamWeaver don't seem to have the links problem GoLive appears to
have created. I have been impressed with the ease of working with GoLive
.... until now!
In any case - I will hope everything now works. If so, I'm eternally
grateful to you, my Dutch friend.
Cheers, Leif

for another one. I was so intent on the web content on your site when I
made my brief visit that I didn't examine the personal content, and
discover that you are female (the only other Els I've heard of is Ernie
Els - lousy excuse, but it'll have to suffice for now). I must apologixe
for my comment, but happy that you seem not to have taken offence.
Put this one on my tab, along with the eternal gratitude.
Cheers, Leif

No need for apologies, I wouldn't know how to be offended by
that remark of yours. :-)
