CodeWriter Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 As mentioned in the title, i have basically written an entire site only to discover an error in IE8. The problem is that the links on the menu arent working, simple as that. Been developing in Opera for the past few hours and works fine in that. Opened the site in IE8 and then this happend. Have also tested in an earlier version of IE and worked fine. Any ideas? The site is: www.freebid.co.nr Many thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/149325-help-1000s-lines-of-php-and-theres-an-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malevolence Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Holy moly That's a lot of useless JavaScript & Frames. In the nicest way possible, you really need to get rid of those frames. And maybe the tables too . You can do that whole page and the others using HTML & CSS only. Frames and Javascript = problems that just aren't worth fussing over. Also means incompatability which is probably the cause for the problem. Seeing as you asked for help, from a quick glance (no promises) I think it is that IE8 has crappy standards for frames. The link opens in the parent frame or whatever you wanna call it. Now if you want it to work (and I don't know what IE8 is like in terms of standards, so I may be wrong) you may need to specify the target in the anchor e.g. <a href="index.php?bob=stupid" class="someclass" target="_parent">Bob</a> I dunno much about frames other than try changing the target between _parent, _self or _top If that doesn't work, I dunno, im quite tired. You should consider scrapping the frame idea. I'm willing to help with the conversion but not instantaneously.

sKunKbad Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Just when you thought you were OK, IE strikes again! Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/149325-help-1000s-lines-of-php-and-theres-an-error/#findComment-784191 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malevolence Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 as a side note, the main problem with frames, is that navigation can get messy. for example, I clicked home, then buy, then on the side menu, I clicked home and the navbar ended up in the wrong place, and nothing was in the body. to sKunKbad- lol Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/149325-help-1000s-lines-of-php-and-theres-an-error/#findComment-784194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTechie Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Well as the PHP is server side it won't affect the broswer.. so this doesn't belong in the php section.. its probably a javascript problem but you havn't really said "what the problem is" Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/149325-help-1000s-lines-of-php-and-theres-an-error/#findComment-784251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 You have no doctype, which is an even bigger problem when using frames - http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freebid.co.nr%2F&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.606 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/149325-help-1000s-lines-of-php-and-theres-an-error/#findComment-784265 Share on other sites More sharing options...
