Navigation bar and dressing room not loading correctly in IE

Post by Orang Goreng » Sat Sep 23, 2006 12:27 am

Interesting that you mention ("you" being Jay, in the "search" thread) "from the left". From where I'm sitting, the page layout appears to have changed some days ago, which now makes me think that I may not see things as you intended. Like David wrote in another message, I was assuming this was due to you admins playing around with stuff, but maybe something else is going on. On my screen it looks like this:

So I just tried Netscape 7.2...there I see things like they should be,

plus I actually see a new window if I click on the dressing room (which for some reason doesn't load the flash thing, but I'm guessing I never integrated flash with netscape). If I click the dressing room link in IE, I still get the "error on page" message.

Right. So something doesn't load correctly for a number of us (Doug, David, me). Maybe there's something we have in common and should update? I'm using IE 6 on W98SE with Flash 6.0.

Doc Z.... thanks for your posting...  I thought it was just me....

I infact see less than even what you see.

My system is:  Windows XP  IE 6

I am actually using my brothers PC at the moment and his system is :  Windows XP IE7
and I still can't see any more than I could at my own PC
relaxing alternative to doing actual work ...

Okay, using Firefox on Win98SE (oh, the shame  :D ) I had the first picture earlier, and now the second picture, that is to say it now all works fine. Using IE6 on my system, I get the first picture again.

So IE is still picking up the problem as previously, which I assume is partly due to IE's known iffy rendering of otherwise perfectly good HTML. That isn't to say we shouldn't get the site to work in IE. I'm a bit reluctant to interfere with it right now because I think Jay is probably in the middle of something.

ARRRRRGGGHHHH.  I fucking hate IE and it's stupid ass crap support of perfectly normal CSS code.  Sorry guys...  I have a mac at home so testing in IE once I get here for the weekend is sketchy at best.  I'll look into though and see if I can't solve the issue but in the mean time I'll stick the old navbar code back in there.

:D

We can say "fuck" here? Great! My hamster fucking died yesterday, I'm devastated.

Anyway, it now displays OK again, even though the dressing room link still doesn't work (again "error on page", "fout op de pagina" in case you're compiling an international phrase book).

Now I have the links back in the right places, but no header at all. The links are just sitting on top of the gray box with "Hey, fullerplast..." in it, there's nothing above, just white page.   ???

The dressing room link does not give me "error on page" anymore... now it does absolutely nothing.

Not complaining, just reporting...    ;)


Condolences on your hamster, Doc  :(

I think the header is missing on purpose while we wait for a logo.

Thanx for the condolences...this hamster spontaneously appeared in my living room a few months ago. Maybe it just was looking for a place to die. RIP Basil.

For some reason the pop script isn't IE friendly.  Never had this problem before as I've used it numerous times on many sites.  Probably won't have time to really look into it until tomorrow either.  Got a paying project I have to get out the door today.  :(

Hi Guys

I'm using IE 6 and once I disabled the popup blocker in the Google toobar the dressing room launched fine.... :)
