kahunna.net - works in Firefox, not in IE. - 9/27/2005 23:39:34   
Hey guys,

Need some assistance please. I just discovered that some of my news graphic-intensive pages aren't loading properly in IE. I use Firefox and it completely slipped my mind to check it out in IE while I was designing the templates. Can someone point out how I could fix this? Thanks!

Here's the two template designs in action:

http://www.kahunna.net/boftheb1/05.html

I'm also having people report that the pencil graphic on my main page isn't loading properly in IE either. http://www.kahunna.net/

A wild guess is that the problem lies with my roll-over coding...

Thank you for any help you can give!

Hi Kolby

Not totally sure what IE's doing - but there's one thing I'd try first. You don't have a DOCTYPE on your page - without one IE goes into Quirks Mode (stuff it up mode) so I'd start by trying that. Here's an article about it: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/doctype/

I'd try this one:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

First thing on your page. Once you've done that then you're working on a "level playing field" and problems are more predictable.

You realise that the no-right click script doesn't stop people taking the photos or looking at the code don't you? - Just checking!

i think your problem lies with the fact that your table cells are not the same in each row when you add all the single and colspans together. in my experience, FP struggles with complex tables with colspan and rowspan but you have to make them come out even. did u design this in FP with design view?

Tailslide - Thank you . I'll read over the article and see if that will help. I'll try the code you found. Is my site 4.01? I haven't been entirely sure on that one. I've run it through a html validator and it has brought up a ton of errors. I don't know if that is related to my current problem or not.

I do realize that it is easy for some to get around the no-right click script, but I just wanted to make it clear to those that try that I'd like them to contact me for permission to use my photos and images. If they can get around it and take the images, so be it. But hopefully it will deter most fro m just snatching the url. I mean, if they steal an image, don't steal the bandwidth as well, you know what I mean? :)

dpf - Interesting. I designed the page entirely in Adobe Photoshop 7.0 /Imageready 7.0, sliced it up, and modified the coding in a text document. Have there been issues with Imageready spitting out a code that has improper table cell sizes? I don't believe I modified them, but I'll do some math and see if the problem lies there. Thanks!

I figured it out!

It all came down to two things, but mainly IE reading some blankspace incorrectly.

Here's what I had:

quote:

<TD COLSPAN=3 ROWSPAN=2>
<A
HREF="http://www.kahunna.net/boftheb1/index.shtml"
onMouseOver =" rollover('index')"
onMouseOut =" rollout('index')"
><IMG SRC="http://www.kahunna.net/boftheb1/h_images/index_glow.gif"
NAME="index"
BORDER=0
HEIGHT=18 WIDTH=61
></A><SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
setrollover("http://www.kahunna.net/boftheb1/h_images/index_red.gif");
//--></SCRIPT>
</TD>


And this adjustment fixed it:

quote:

<TD COLSPAN=3 ROWSPAN=2>
<A
HREF="http://www.kahunna.net/boftheb1/index.shtml"
onMouseOver =" rollover('index')"
onMouseOut =" rollout('index')"
><IMG SRC="http://www.kahunna.net/boftheb1/h_images/index_glow.gif"
NAME="index"
BORDER=0
HEIGHT=18 WIDTH=61
></A><SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
setrollover("http://www.kahunna.net/boftheb1/h_images/index_red.gif");
//--></SCRIPT></TD>


dpf - you were correct about the complex tables. However, I did the calculations and it all added up correctly. I toyed around and changed two of the image display heights - heights that ImageReady kicked out for me - and now it works in both FF and IE.

Thanks guys!
