Images made into links (in divs) not working in Internet Explorer but works in Firefox. help!

Hey guys,
The text links are fine, but the image links don't work in internet explorer. Anyone know why this is happening?
Sample code:
<a href="facebook"><div class="fb"><img src="Facebook.png" /></div></a>
The link links to another HTML in my site

If you anticipate having more questions, a great self help is to validate your code, that is, test your code against the rules set for the particular DOCTYPE you are using.
http://validator.w3.org/
"you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").
In this case it would have pointed out that you can't put a <div> inside an <a>.
Best wishes,
Adninjastrator

This is the code that is in the Region Source of the Header Section :

Slices NOT working in Internet Explorer -- but work every other browser!

I've spent all day trying to figure this out and hope someone experienced here can help me out.
I've created a left menu for my website using slices (in photoshop cs2). Everything seems to work fine - I upload the date folder and html file to my server, etc. However, when I load that page in IE (any version), it loads really slowly and then shows "x" boxes for the last several slice images.
It works perfectly in every other browser (FF, Opera, Safari, etc). What could the cause possibly be? I've just reformatted my computer so I doubt it's internal. Strangely, it works fine on some computers with IE, but not others.
Any help most appreciated!
thanks

My wild guess will be a browser cache issue. Hold down the Shift key while clicking the Refresh button and see if that helps. If it doesn't we'll definitely need a link.

Why does my Web Handler work with Internet Explorer, but not with Firefox

I am trying to develop a web page that uses the Simile Timeline (http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline) with data from SQL Server.
In initial testing of my timeline I tested it with Example.xml, a static XML file in the correct format to be event data. I wrote the following in the appropriate place within mytimeline's Javascript: -
var WebHandler = "Example.xml"
tl.loadXML(WebHandler, function (xml, url) { eventSourceFamily.loadXML(xml, url) });
This worked fine with both Firefox and Internet Explorer. I then changed the assignment to
var WebHandler = "GDBTimeline.ashx?Type=Family&Userid=" + getControlValue("input", "hdnUser");
so that invoked a web handler that could look up the SQL database and return the XML that I wanted, and wrote this web handler.
This works perfectly with Internet Explorer, but with FireFox the timeline band is blank. Yet when I examine the http traffic with Fiddler2 (http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/) I see that with either browser there is a response from URL
/GDB_pages/GDBTimeline.ashx?Type=Family&Userid=robertb
that returns the XML that it is supposed to.
I have previously used web handlers with Firefox before, with no problems. The Fiddler results conclusively show that the web handler is invoked, and returns the appropriate XML, and this XML is identical to the XML from the static test with Example.xml.
Where do I start looking for answers? I don't even know if this is a Simile problem, a Firefox problem, or an ASP.NET problem.
Thank you, Robert.

Problem solved. The issue: Content Type was not correct.
Visual Studio creates the web handler with dummy code like this: -
Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
context.Response.Write("Hello World")
End Sub
I wrote a database query that set a string variable to the XML I wanted: -
Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
Dim Outstring as string
' my logic to fill Outstring with XML
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
context.Response.Write(Outstring)
End Sub
This works with Internet Explorer. However it's not strictly correct: to make it work with other browsers as well,
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
should be
context.Response.ContentType = "text/xml"
It now works with IE, FF, and Chrome, and presumably all others.

Google talk works in internet explorer but why not in firefox

I have used google talk for a long time. it suddendly does not work in google chrome. i installed firefox just today. it does not let me use google talk. BUT
it works in internet explorer. I would prefer to use firefox.
I had reinstalled the plugin after a download message.
it is a new install.
It does not work.
Your volunteering is greatly appreciated.[sort of the nurses of the media world]

Hi, Google Talk was due to be turned off at the end of 2014, so that's probably why it isn't working - ''''On October 30th, 2014, Google announced on their Apps Updates blog that "The Google Talk app for Windows will continue to work for approximately two months before being turned off", signalling the end of the Google Talk application by the end of 2014'''' ''Quote from Wikipedia'' - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Talk full text here.]

8.6 CME gui not working on Internet explorer but displays on other browsers

The strangest thing is happening I cannot access the CME 8.6 GUI on internet explorer but it works on firefox and chrome. It just suddenly started to happen no changes were made. When I open the gui on internet explorer after I sign in it just says View Window but never gets passed that. I have a test router with the same version and files and it works on internet explorer. I compared the files on both routers and both have the same files. I'm stumped any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there anything in version 15.1 that can cause the issue I'm having? I have ip http server and no ip http secure-server in my config is there anything with that I have to add? I just downgraded back to 12.4 and it works after a hard reset. I want to attribute the problem to version advip 15.1. I have the gui files from 15.1 loaded on flash.

Swf link not working in Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer but works in Safari

Hi,

On the homepage of my website I have put a swf file that I linked to another page in my website through the div a href link and it displays great on safari and links, however in other browsers, when i try to click on it, it comes up with the link at the bottom of the browser (where it sometimes says Done), however it doesnt actually link, it jsut stays on the homepage.
Here is the coding i put in:
<div id="products2">
          <p>
          <a href="Our_brands/index.html">
            <script type="text/javascript">

            </noscript>
          </a>
          </p>
        </div>
Could someone please tell me where I am going wrong?
I would REALLY appreciate it.
Thank you in advance!!

I'm doing it for a client and they dont want it put up on the server yet, I wish I could put it up bc I have no idea what I'm doing!
Basically I wanted a swf file from Flash to display a range of products (I have turned all the products into buttons) and then I put coding into all the buttons to on release getURL which work in the swf file, however when I put the swf file into dreamweaver, the buttons worked in hover state, but the action scripting didn't work to link the swf file to another page in the website (the index in Our_brands folder).
So i decided to make it link to the index.html in Our_brands folder from wrapping the swf box in a div tag and linking the div tag <a href="Our_brands/index.html"> which links it great in Safari but wont link in Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer.
Does that make any sense?
Sorry if it doesn't.
Thanks for the quick reply as well!!!

I have flashplayer which works in Internet Explorer but not some sites using Firefox. I refreshed but no change and i DID lose all my bookmarks. Help!

Listening to BBC Radio was possible until today but now in Firefox I'm told to install Flashplayer. i have tried that 3 times but with no effect. The same with videos on BBC and some other sites but on others it works. If I use Internet Explorer everything is fine. So there is clearly an interface problem with Firefox which has only just started. I tried refreshing believing that it would retain all my favourites and other information/settings but most were lost. I'm 73 not technical so a simple solution if possible please.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; '''Old Firefox?'''
'''https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile'''
'''https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles'''
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

Unable to use all the feature of my email service (Juno on the web) like; font size/color, bolding, italics, highlighting etc why? Those features work through Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

When I go to my Juno on the web through Firefox, I am unable to use the tool features such as:
Font size / Color
Bolding
Italics
Bullets
Highlighting
just to name a few. Yet when I bring it up through Internet Explorer these features work, plus the way Firefox reads my Juno the tabs are distorted (the page is not formatted correctly, I contacted Juno they said I should contact my modem company AT& T they said no so you are my last resort.. Please help resolve my issue, THANK YOU in advance for assisting with this matter.

It is up to Juno to enable Midas, the Rich Text Editor which is built into Firefox, with one little line of code on every web page that has RTE for IE. There's nothing that you can do to turn that feature on your self, it has to be coded on each web page that has Rich Text Editing.
http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midas-spec.html <br />
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Midas
Their ignorance probably lies with their staff programmers only knowing how to do it for IE ''(their training and certificates are probably from the Microsoft cabal)'', and not realizing that Gecko and WebKit apps each have their own Rich Text Editor's, which require their own small line of code to enable those Editor's.

Cannot expand viewer for ESPN3. The task bar at the bottom is not visable. It works with Internet Explorer, but not with FireFox

There is a task bar that should be visible so you can expand the viewer to the full size of your computer screen. I can open up internet explorer and it works, but not in FireFox. This is when using ESPN3, or ESPNWATCH.

Flex Plugin that calls Webservice works in Internet Explorer but not firefox

I created a simple flex plugin that consumed a web service i
built and was working with it locally. I uploaded the files to the
server, and when i test the file out in internet explorer, the
plugin loads great. However when firefox or any other browser
attempts to load the same file i get "Http Request Error"? I've got
a crossdomain.xml loaded up.. here it is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy
SYSTEM "
http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false" />
</cross-domain-policy>
Any ideas? Thanks. I should note that the webservice and the
plugin are both on the same domain.

I was playing around some more, when i yank the
crossdomain.xml, both browsers display a security error, but when i
put it back in, internet explorer is happy but firefox still spits
out "Http Request Error"

Rollover only works on the border in internet explorer but works fine in all other browsers

I created an aerial map and on specific areas I created a rollover, meaning when you rollover an the image of exp. a house a picture of the house pops up in bigger. It works really well in all browsers..... but in Internet explorer. In internet explorer nothing rolls over. but when I put a border, it does rollover but only when the mouse is on the border. I do not want the border there. I want it to rollover when teh mouse is on the area How can I solve this issue just for internet explorer.
Below is my coding i used:
In HTML:
<div class="map">
<img src="Img/map-of-area.png">
<div class="maparea">
<a class="volley" href="htmlmainhouse.html"> <span> <img src="Img/photos/map/fields.JPG" width="170" height="130" alt="sample" border="0" /></span> </a>
</div>
</div>
In CSS:
a.volley{
/* border: 2px solid red; */
height: 35px;
width: 90px;
position:absolute;
top: 310px;
left: 275px;
z-index:20;
a.volley {
display:inline;
z-index:30;
a.volley span {
display:none;
a.volley:hover span {
display:block;
position:absolute;
top:1em;
left:1em;
width:64px;
height:64px;

For rollovers on image maps, you'll get better cross-browser results with JavaScript functions. See link for details:

.swf file will work in Internet explorer but no other browser

my issue is that i have an .swf file that i loaded to the remote side of the server on the net, and when i try the link, the link appears to work, yet the flash movie will only play in Internet Explorer and no other browser. Why will this not play?
All my other flash bideos are loaded as .swf files as well and work perfectly. The only thing i can think of personally is we purchased a flash animation ( the ribbons you see falling ) and that may hvae some conflict issues in the coding, but all in all i dont see that being a problem when being published as an .swf file. I have made sure that my publish settings are the same as all my other movies, but still can not figure out why this one and only movie will not work, please help.
http://www.unicefusaecards.org/proofing/new_year_confetti3/ is the link to the flash animation the i am needing help with.

I just opened the webpages through Firefox and while on the page Firefox did not change I hit control F5 and it changed the page. Thank you so much. It is now up to date on my computer also.

News Feed Not Rending in Internet Explorer but Rendering in all Others

I have a problem that is causing a major headache. I purchased a news feed from a site to put on my site. It is a simple cut and paste. The feed renders in Safari, Opera, Firefox, and Chrome, but it won't render in Internet Explorer. I have tried IE 6,7,8 to no avail. I ran validation on it and just saw the usual errors. Here is the link to the page:
http://www.md-mortgages.com/news.html
Here is the code I pasted into the body:
<p align="center"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://feeds.mortgagenewsdaily.com/Scripts/NewsFeed.js" id="MNDNewsFeed">
{ subscriberKey: "49664" }
</script>
I have no idea why IE won't render this. Any ideas? I attached the document.

Just tested it in IE7 and the news feed works fine too
Thanks, latest news
