are my menus working for you?

*Andilinks* · 12-06-2003, 10:16 AM

I have been told that the menus on my site (http://www.andilinks.com/)are not working properly in IE6, showing an error when clicking a URL in the three positions, New Links, Web Craft, and Technology. I've suggested a refresh + Ctrl in case the local cache file was corrupted but the error persists on that machine.

I cannot repeat the error here even though I have the same set-up (Win2K, IE6). Does anyone else see this error or have any idea what it may be?

I am also having trouble getting IE6 to load images here, but I think that's a totally unrelated problem.

Any feed-back on this would be appreciated.

Works fine from my snowy perch in NJ.

Works under Win2K/IE6. But it's also snowing here, so maybe that's a clue?

Ctrl + F5 refreshes without using the cache (maybe that's what you meant by refresh + Ctrl), but I saw no problems on XP with IE6.

Works fine here, Win98 IE6. But if I set Internet Options/Security to Highest, then I see no menu at all. That's to be expected, but maybe they have some other security stuff that is futzing the javascript? Or some kind of default style sheet????

Thanks for all the responses, I guess it must be an isolated problem. The person who alerted me to this by email does read these posts, so all I can say is, I don't know what the problem is and don't know if the solutions offered here will work, but they are worth a try.

I finally got IE to recognize certain graphics by clearing the cache (no results) and then making up a special page with just one graphic on it and opening it in IE, and now IE recognizes that graphic again everywhere it appears. I then repeated the process with every graphic IE was ignoring.

Weird how these things get gummed up sometimes...

Thanks again!

I chose not to have plug-ins run when I was prompted by XP. I don't know if that matters.

My security settings are set to prompt me for a whole bunch of things and it's amazing how often webpages function correctly even when I choose not to allow plug-ins and stuff to run. Plug-ins could be as dangerous as scripting. Unfortunately, so much stuff doesn't work right without JavaScript that I usually have active scripting turned on.

Andi, with http://www.popupstop.com/ enabled, using the defaults, the menus work once, then generate an error. With it disabled, they work perfectly.

Hmmm... I guess I should take that up with Milonic, the menu developer. I may try out some new menus though, http://www.burmees.nl/menu/menus.htm

It will be a while, maybe a few weeks before I get them installed because I need to get used to the scripts first.

Thanks Monty.

Andi, just to test something out, I put your site in the "allowed" sites listing for that pop up blocker and it still disables your menu after one click. Another site that won't work correctly with that pop up blocker enabled is http://www.daytonachamber.com/bwhome.html It might be worth a look at the code to see if anything similar is there. At any rate, I wouldn't sweat it, since your menu seems to work fine for nearly everyone and fine for me once that program is disabled.
