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

Holy moly :o

 

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 :D.

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.

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

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
