Working in Firefox/Chrome not in IE

Thanks for everyone's help in advance. I am attempting to implement a tab drop down onmouseover menu and it works decently in FireFox and Chrome but it does not work with IE 8. The sublist is being shown by on page load in IE but not the others and i can't figure out why. The tag style="display:none;" looks to be right, but being handled incorrectly in IE. I tried to hide the sublist via javascript but getting the same issue.
I have successfully implemented this with other themes (Simple Red and Midnight Blue) but Sand's CSS is very different so i'm stuggling a little trying to port the same functionality over. I would use the other themes but the person i'm making this for wants Sand.

I am attempting to implement a tab drop down onmouseover menuCan you explain exactly what that means and what you've done to do it? (I know there's a demo but a bit of explanation would be welcome.)
The tag style="" looks to be rightIt doesn't look like anything from here: post any and all code—including HTML and CSS—wrapped in \...\ tags. If there was anything in that <tt>style</tt> attribute in your OP, please edit it using \ tags so we can see it.

It's also a legacy <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirks_mode">quirks mode</a> theme, whereas I think the others are standards mode, so that's probably the point of departure...
I would use the other themes but the person i'm making this for wants Sand.
I have never understood the hold this L&F appears to have over people...

A puzzle I made in Adobe Flash on an html5 canvas only works in Firefox, and not in other browsers. What should I do?

I made a puzzle on a html5 canvas in Flash CC, and followed the exact steps of an online tutorial. The final product works in Firefox, but not in Chrome or Internet Explorer. What am I doing wrong?

Call up the Javascript Console in Chrome and see if it's showing error messages.
Also, you might try uploading it to a web server and viewing it from there (or turning Apache on locally). It may be a cross site security issue.

in Safari’s Preferences, select its Security tab, and make sure that its “Internet plug-ins: Allow Plug-ins” checkbox is checked.

Rollovers & actions work in Firefox but not IE

Hello,
The site www.lamps-on-line.com has rollovers and actions created a few years ago in GoLive and now these effects only work in Firefox, but not in Interenet Explorer (IE7), which displays page errors. Is there a way to fix this? I acknowledge that the site needs replacing but while it's still running my client wants it fixed.
I set up a test page at www.lamps-on-line-com/test.html in which I took off all rollovers and actions, and this loads OK but I really don't want to have to resort to doing this on every page.
I wondered if it is somrthing to do with 'Doctype'?
Hope someone can help.

I didn't see any errors when I looked at yourhome page in IE7 (on Vista). So which page elements were producing an error and what was the error you were seeing? Did you delete the cache in IE7 to check whether it was a caching problem? Tools > Internet Options > Browsing history (choose to delete)?

Does McAfee siteadvisor work with Firefox - if not, why not?

does McAfee siteadvisor work with Firefox - if not, why not? Is there a way to make it work?

No, it is blocklisted by Mozilla due to that Site Advisor extension being the #2 cause of crashing the Firefox 5.0 betas. McAfee was notified of the problem long before that extension was added to the blocklist. Now it is up to them to fix it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/
I have read that McAfee is working on a re-written version that is projected to be available in the 3rd week of July.

Added a spry menu bar and site works in firefox but not in chrome or IE. Please help

Hello,
I'm a photographer by trade and have only picked up enough web design knowledge in order to build a website that isn't distracting to my photographs and is simple to update and mantain. Please breakdown any answers to my questions in very simple terms.
To start off here is a link to my site for reference. www.cechternach.com
1. My Biggest problem right now is that my site works in firefox but appears as a blank white page in chrome and in IE it only shows my background color.
I'm assuming that this has something to do with the spry menu bar I added. The galleries, banner, and footer were all part of a previous version of this website that didn't use the menu bar. I actually used png's exported from an illustrator as buttons. I've been wrestling with this menu bar for a few days now. I had an issue with the menubar forcing down the gallery below it. that was fixed by changing a position value from relative to absolute in the menubar css. Then I couldn't see the submenu over the galleries. I think I fixed that with a wmode change but I"m not sure if I did that right. I believe i needed to change that in the object and embed part of the code. One spot for certain browsers and the other spot for other browsers. I was a little confused on this because i also read that i needed to change the wmode in the javascript file in dreamweaver cs4 which is what i'm using. Whatever wmode I changed it seemed to work in firefox. The submenu background was showing up transparent but i fixed that in the menubar css.
2. I would like the submenu's to have a semi transparent blurred background effect. Is this possible with a spry menu bar?
3. How do I center my text in the submenu?
4. My menu bar buttons should be the same font as my name in my banner. It looks fine on my computer that has that font loaded but on other computers I was testing the site on the menubar buttons show up as a default font. How can i fix this?
5. Is there any way to get rid of the grey lines that show up around my slideshow pro galleries and menu bar buttons when they are clicked?
The last four questions aren't as important as the first one. I may be upsetting the flow of the forum as well. Please let me know if I'm not following procedure with any of my questions. Feel free to point out any other problems you see with my page. I'm trying to learn this as I go. Thanks in advance.

Spry widgets, which includes the SpryMenuBar, in their original state do not pose any problem in any browser!
Widgets contain two parts
JavaScript which drives the widget
CSS which styles the widget to individual tastes
The most common reason for a widget to misbehave especially in IE is because the inexperienced web developer has upset the delicate balance of the CSS. I say delicate, because in the original, great care has been taken by the Spry team to ensure cross browser compatibility.
There are other reasons why a whole page can misbehave. In these cases, the culprit should be sought outside of the Spry framework.
When trouble shooting, I would first of all comment out all of the Spry Spry parts and test the page in IE. If it does work after that, then yes come back here and we will have a look at the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css for you.
If it doesn't work after disabling Spry, then have a look at the coding and the CSS for your page and fix that.
I hope this helps.

Soical buttons not working in firefox & Chrome but OK in Safari

My webiste has been up and running for a month now but I've now noticed (among an array of other Muse bugs... aaaggghhh) that the 'Facebook Recommend and the 'Pin it' social widget buttons don't work in Firefox and Chrome but they do in Safari?
http://www.thinksmartresumes.com.au/parthorus-resumes-design.html (freebie tab)
Also on this page, the 'LinkedIn share' button works fine in Safari and Chrome but not in Firefox? See screen shots...
The Muse Team (ie Danni Beaumont) clearly state in all the tutorial videos that they guarantee multi-platform user friendly code.... I spend half my day finding bugs between different browsers? Not happy.

I am having similar issues - the URL that the plugin insists it wants to have complete (with http:// at the front) is being concatenated with another "http://" when it is rendered on the page.
This is the URL I have in the properties for the button:
But this is the URL that shows up in the Share dialog:
If I take the http:// OFF the property for the button (so, I start with "www...."), the widget doesn't render. I get an error that the thumbnail can't draw.
Yes, annoying.

Attr method works in Firefox but not in IE8

I have a page load javascript that does .attr to a button.. this works in Firefox and Chrome but not IE8..
This is what I found as a solution on a web site.. but I dont know how to append the button to a DOM element:
The 'attr()' method does not return the expected values in IE8, but it does so in Firefox and Safari. This can be remedied by appending the IMG element to a DOM element (like 'html' or 'body') and calling 'attr()' again.
/* get original onclick event */
var origAction = $('button[value=Create]').attr('onclick').toString();
/* get link from original onclick event using regular expression */
var link = origAction.match(/(redirect$(\'|\"))([^\'$|\"\)]*)/)[3];
/* Remove original onclick event */
$('button[value=Create]').removeAttr('onclick');
/* store link as title attribute of button */
$('button[value=Create]').attr('title', link);

Hi,
I have not tested and do not know does it make any different, but try use selector
$('button[value="Create"]')Regards,
Jari

Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. This doesn't work because Firefox is not a running process so I can't close it.

I don't use Firefox now because of this running problem. It started about a month ago. So when I access the task manager, Firefox does not show up in the running processes. Because of this, I can't end the task. I got tired and fed up of rebooting my computer just to use Firefox, so I just switched to IE8, and Opera and Google Chrome. I prefered Firefox but it also runs so so sooooo slowly now. IE is much much faster, as are the other browsers now. Once upon a time, I bragged to everyone about how fast Firefox used to be, where now I admit I don't use it because it's so slow now and it won't run anyway.

I need to place the Maltese cross on a web page. IE works, Safari works, but Firefox does not. It is wingding character.

The Maltese cross is in the winding font family. I have the following HTML on the pages:
<pre><nowiki>
X</nowiki></pre>
The inline element tag is in a tag.
CSS: span.cross { color: #000; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold; }
This has been working for years in IE 5, 6, 7 & 8, works also in safari (latest rev), but does not work in FireFox rev 4.0.1. FoxFire displays a large X instead of the Maltese cross.
Other than this small problem FoxFire works great, especially with HTML5 & CSS3.
Any help would be appreciated.
DonL

This concerns the Maltese cross problem. When I posted the problem, the data inside "<" and ">" characters is lost. The only thing that showed was the "X".
I posted the HTML used to display the cross w/o these chars.
span class="cross" style="font-family: wingdings; vertical-align: top" X /span
Thanks for any help.

Flash buttons work in FireFox but not IE

Please can someone please take a look and see if they can
figure it out cos i can't!
roundshaw (dot) co (dot) uk
The increase and decrease flash buttons at the top of the
page works ok in FireFox but not in Internet Explorer.
Can anyone see what i have missed that stops it working in
IE?
thanks in advance for your help.

Hello again,
Yep, sounds like you've got the general idea.

I'm going to start from scratch and give it another go...would you reccomend converting every button to a symbol? Then give the symbols a mouseover, click, and mouseout?
I'd take all the elements that make up the button, and convert that into a symbol. Then you can go to labels with your code without worrying about the main timeline. Put all your code on the elements themselves, and not on the symbol instance.
hries22 wrote:
Also - and this minor - but is there a way to get a button's mouseover area to recognize transparency? For instance - I'll use a .png with transparency for a button...let's say the T-shirt. I want the mouseover to activate only when the mouse is over the t-shirt, and not over the transparent area around the t-shirt...any thoughts?
By default, the hit area of a div in HTML is its bounding box. Right off the top of my head, I'm not sure there's a way to change it...maybe someone else can chip in?
EDIT: here's an old-school way...could be a lot of work: http://www.svennerberg.com/2008/09/imagemap-rollover/

I have updated to Mac X 10.6.8, now You Tube doesn't work in Firefox; why not?

Firefox told me for safety reasons I needed to update the OS on my Mac which I did.
Now You Tube doesn't work in Firefox (though it does in other browsers)
On line I have have found an add-on which claims to fix the problem, but it comes with warnings that there might be safety issues. (Author not verified)
My OS system is up to date, as is Firefox.
Shall I just use another browser?

Try to update the Flash player.

Why does the FP 10 work with firefox but not with IE8

I down loaded the folowing for xp FP uninstall, FP plugin and FP debug from the link in one of your replys. now I can watch youtube with firefox but not with IE8. you asked me before if i was using 16 bit. whats that mean and how do I find out? please help I just want to watch youtube on IE!

Ok Shag, since you hadn't been on a Forum before, then I'll take some of what I said back:-) I wanted you to stay on one thread, you can get in trouble trying things that may cause you more problems than you had in the beginning. I just had your best interest at heart
I'll even overlook your all caps here:-) At least you responded
Now since you say you fixed it, what you should do is to confirm it is fixed by taking a look at your Flash folder. This contains all of the Flash files for IE and FF. Then make sure you have the IE add on and the FF add on. That way if you have any future problems, at least you would know it is not the Flash Player.
You should only have 2 .exe files for IE and 1 for FF.
For Video editing, I would check Microsoft and see what they have. Perhaps someone else will come along with other info for you.
No, I don't get paid here, since I am not an employee. Just a user helping others, since I had a problem at one time and after 4 hours of researching solved it.
Let me know if you want to check the Flash files.
Thanks,
eidnolb
