Default IE coding problems? - 06-01-2006 , 08:21 PM






:confused;
I am working on a site and have features that will not respond in IE and some
features that respond differently than expected (they work fine in Mac Safari,
FF & Netscape, and PC FF & Netscape). And of course, I am totally frustrated,
on a tight deadline, and at the end of my knowledge--not to mention my wits!!
On the opening page (<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge
href="http://www.livingbookscurriculum.com/06-lbc/living-books-homepage.htm)">ht
tp://www.livingbookscurriculum.com/06-lbc/living-books-homepage.htm)</a> there
is a popup that wants to open when the page loads (on IE 6 and Netscape 8.1). .
..I can't figure out why. The window wanting to load is supposed to open on
click. Can you tell me what's wrong?
Then, none of the "top of the page" icons work on any of the pages in IE, they
work fine in the rest of the browsers (an example is on <a target=_blank
class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge
href="http://www.livingbookscurriculum.com/06-lbc/livingbooks-guides.htm">http:/
/www.livingbookscurriculum.com/06-lbc/livingbooks-guides.htm</a> the blue up
arrows) Does IE require some other form of coding to get these to work?
Thanks for your help.

Works for me (IE 7.0)...

In your HTML on Line 148 try changing


onload="MM_openBrWindow( etc...

to onClick="MM_openBrWindow( etc...

And try again...


And validate your Code.. there seems to be some errors in the HTML...

Thank you!! The "onClick" was on the image, but I had put an image map over
that. . .just took the map off and it works! Thanks. Can't figure out why the
up arrows aren't working in IE 6. . .I know some folks still use that version.
I am checking the code. . .Thanks for the heads up.

Maybe IE has a problem with the Javascript in the link...

Have you tried CSS rollovers? I never used images for it, but it should
work just fine...

That seems to be it because in IE7 the rollover image doesn't get
displayed...

hm-m-m
I am not sure how to do that.
(One of the downfalls of using Dreamweaver. . .makes rollover links for me,
and I don't know how to do it otherwise.)
It is interesting that on the previous site for this company, all these
worked. I have even tried "cutting & pasting" the code off the old site. . .it
still doesn't work.

Ok. . .Anurag had the answer for the errant popup window. Dreamweaver tech
support had the answer for the anchor reference not working:
I had the anchor for #top in a layer. . .this evidentally caused an
overlapping problem that hid the function from IE 6 (FF, Netscape & IE 7
obviously are "smarter" because they were able to find it). So the solution was
to take the anchor reference out of the layer. . .it works now!
Thanks for all your help. . .you are the greatest!!

Well, I am referring to IE7, 'cause that's the one I used to look at it...

But it makes no sense to report testing results here in a non-existant
browser, no?
