will35010 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 This link button works fine in firefox, but not IE. Any clues on how to make it work with both? <p><a href='../display/discharge.php?id=<?php echo $id; ?>' style='text-decoration:none'><button type="button">Discharge Patient</button></a></p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Can you show us the link locations for both browsers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under IE source <p><a href='../display/discharge.php?id=1' style='text-decoration:none'><button type="button">Discharge Patient</button></a></p> Under Firefox & working in firefox only <p><a href='../display/discharge.php?id=1' style='text-decoration:none'><button type="button">Discharge Patient</button></a></p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will35010 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 If I change it to this it works in both firefox and IE, but I really like the look of the button. <p><a href='../display/discharge.php?id=<?php echo $id; ?>' style='text-decoration:none'>Discharge Patient</a></p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

' style='text-decoration:none'>Discharge Patient Seems like a common problem. People have circumvented this by using some Javascript, check out this post: http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/button-doesnt-work-in-ie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maq Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Sure. The only issue with using JS is that some people may have disabled it but that would be a very very small percentage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 80 million users have downloaded this firefox addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/ It's one of the more popular add ons, particularly by people in the know. It depends on the site, but I personally try to never disregard users with javascript turned off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
