Internal links work in FF but not IE

After two days of trying everything and searching all forums I have got nowhere so here goes. Site has worked fine but when I created a new page (via save as and from a DWT file) any links on the home page to the new page do not work in IE9 but they are fine in FF. If i change the link to a page created befor the problem then it works fine so the issue is not the location of the link.
the site is profitmanagement.co.uk but the version up is from before the problem - no point putting up a site that doesnt work!. I've reinstalled IE and have Norton antivirus so I doubt if the issue is malware.
Thanks

I'm very surprised they work in any browser. If you use Save As with a DWT file, your links will always be wrong. To create a file from a DWT file, you should use File > New > Page from Template. As long as your DWT files are in the original Templates folder in the site root, the links should be correctly formed.

Link works on mac but not on pc

Hi -
I am trying to insert a jpg into a dreamweaver file.
I then upload the html file along with the jpg to my server in a folder called "layout"
So the url is: http://www.mysite.com/layout/test.html
The link works on mac, but not on pc's.
Any idea why?
Some links work on pc's like this, and others don't.
Thanks- It's driving me crazy!!

The link is not correct....you have it listed as" mysite.com", which I assume is where you are to insert the name of your url.

Web sites containing mms links work in IE but not Firefox 4.0

Web sites containing mms links work in IE but not Firefox 4.0. when I play the video in IE, I go into IE, and locate the mms link under properties, when I right click. If I copy the mms link form IE directly into firefox, it will work. There ought to be a better way to do this. Also, I am using a hardware firewall, not a software firewall, and no proxy.

You need to use the file:// protocol, but you may still encounter problems if you fix that.

Links working in Safari but not Firefox

Hi friends,
I'm hoping someone can help this confused amateur (aka me) get my website to work correctly. The site works fine in Safari -- but in Firefox, the internal links do not work (external links are OK). I suspect it has something to do with defining the pathways within the directory, but beyond that I'm lost.
Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm pretty sure it's a simple fix for someone who know what they're doing
Here's the site: www.thefourglobaltruths.com
The problematic links are under the banner, specifically "about the author," "links," "schedule," and "interviews."
BTW, I'm using a Macbook Pro, 10.6.8, and CS5...if any of that matters.
Many thanks in advance!

Is this website around 10+ years old?
It contains ancient, invalid code long past due for an update. It's a bit of a time machine.
Have you heard of validating code? It's a quick and easy method of checking if your code can be read properly by a browser.
If you put the address of the author page into http://validator.w3.org/

Web graphic links work on Mac, but not PC

I have two websites. The old one is DogToysAndTreats.com. The new one is FunStuffForDogs.com. I need to change the home page graphic on both of them to point to my shopping cart pages. I have done this and published the changes on both sites. It works on my Mac but not on my PC.
On www.funstufffordogs.com, the graphic at the top with the bulldogs is supposed to link to http://store.funstufffordogs.com/storefront.aspx. Same thing on www.dogtoysandtreats.com. It works on my Mac in both Safari and Chrome. On my PC, it doesn't work on IE, Safari or Firefox. (BTW, I haven't worked on any of the other links until I can figure out how to do it properly.)
I don't get why the platform has anything to do with it.

Looking at your source, the problem may be that the images refer to an external server link from the one actually hosting the website page. Whenever you try to mix servers on a single page, you depend on the network connectivity being reliable to all the servers simultaneously. This can be as much a problem on a Mac as a PC. Sometimes routers have bad router tables, or internet providers do, and this can cause issues for multiserver websites. Using on your router & network settings an OpenDNS DNS server can help:

Links work in Dreamweaver but not online

Hello, I am trying to figure out why my flash files work correctly locally but don't after I upload them. I am using Mac Flash CS4 and AS2. (They were CS3 files originally)
When I use Safari to view the uploaded files and check the Activity window it shows the files load but they don't show up. I have a main swf and others are loaded into it using:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("flash/links.swf", 1);
Are there any known bugs/work arounds to be aware of? Thanks. -Derryl

Almost always when something works locally but not on line... it's a path problem. And I see that you are accessing your .swf from a sub file.... nothing at all wrong with that, but you do need to understand how pathing in Flash works:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

Links work in iWeb, but not in browser

Using a blank template. established a photoshop background and placed transparent rectangles over the images and linked the rectangles. In iWeb (1.1.2), they work fine. but they do not work in the browser. I noticed a problem someone had by accidentally creating "floating" boxes. I have reworked all of my links with no luck. Help!!!

I answered your question yesterday:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10520122&tstart=0
Nothing has changed.
The footer of the page covers the links.
The links themselves are 0x0 pixels. The shape-images are 1x1 pixels.
Whether or not links work in iWeb is irrelvant. They should work in the browser.
Check, check, check.

DB Link - works via SQL but not via packages

I have a database link on user ODB on database A, to database B. The DB Link seems fine for SQLs that i do, but doesn't compile in my package code. Please tell me why it works for "regular sqls" but not inside a package.
Example: while connected as ODB user on database A, if I do this query:
SELECT "TRAXDOC_DETAIL"."FILE_NAME",
"TRAXDOC_DETAIL"."FILE_TYPE",
FROM "TRAXDOC_DETAIL"@TRAXDOC_LINK
WHERE "TRAXDOC_DETAIL"."TRAXDOC_ROW_ID" = 100031 AND
"TRAXDOC_DETAIL"."TRAXDOC_LINE"= 2
It works fine. But the same query inside a package that is owned by user ODB on database A will not compile, stating the table/view does not exist.
The database link is owned by use ODB on database A, connects directly to the owner of the tables in question on database B.
Any suggestions welcome... this is an urgent issue, because it also worked fine on my customer's test environment, but not on their Production that they just upgraded. I need to know what to look for as to what could be wrong.

Thanks so much for your response - Prefixing the call to the table within the package, with the schema owner does indeed solve the problem. Since this is a Production issue, i have implemented this fix in my customer's database.
However, I would still like this issue permanently resolved. The next time we send out updated package code, this will happen again (unless we then fix it again). I'd still like info from anyone on what exactly must be done to allow the call within the package to work without specifically pre-fixing the table's schema owner. It shouldn't be needed... The DB link is connecting via the same schema on database B that owns the table in question.
pre-fixing the schema owner is something we don't do in our sql statements, and this has worked fine for many of our cusomer's environments. We're only seeing this issue on one environment.

Links work one way, but not the other.

My site is sbrownarchitects.com.
When beginning from the Home Page any of the links work. However, when going from any of the pages back to the home page or to other pages, the links do not work. Help! Thanks!
I believe this is the code that deals with the text? I'm not a code pro quite yet---but its coming.
<div id="container">
<div id="sidebar1">
    <h3><a href="index.html" class="navigation">Home</a></h3>
    <h3><a href="about.html" class="navigation">About</a></h3>
    <h3><a href="Portfolio.html" class="navigation">Work</a></h3>
    <h3><a href="people.html" class="navigation">People</a></h3>
    <h3> </h3>
    <p> </p>

    <p> </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><strong>646-244-5870</strong> </p>

There appear to be different versios of those links, particularly in the Work page, where I found the following...
<h3><a href="index.html" class="navigation">Home</a></h3>
<h3><a href="production files/About/About.html" class="navigation">About</a></h3>
<h3><a href="production files/Work/Portfolio.html" class="navigation">Work</a></h3>
<h3><a href="production files/People/People.html" class="navigation">People</a></h3>
So you may want to go thru and make sure the links for all pages are consistent. I'm noticing on those that capital letters are used where they aren't in the other set, so that's something to be mindful of as well.

Help? PDF link works in FF but not IE???

Hi....help please - www.webdesignalgarve.com/qdr2 if you click on the link below the page menu saying ' click here to view full project in pdf format' it doesnt work in ie but in FF no problem......can someone tell me whats up please?
Thanks

Unfortunately, you cannot rely on this always working. I, for example, have all .pdf files open outside the browser, so no matter how you have your site set up, it will never open within the browser window.
I would suggest just linking to the file directly. If the user has the pdf plugin for their browser, the pdf will open in their browser. Otherwise, it'll open in their pdf client as normal.
Hope this helps.

Link works in iweb but not after it's published

It only just started after I added a shape (I made sure to send it backward and whatnot). Anyways, yeah, the link works when I click it in iWeb but refuses to work when it's published. How can I fix this?

Nevermind. I fixed it.

Links work in iWeb but not on web

I created a site (http://www.busybeetrader.com) in iWeb 1.2.2 and uploaded using Cyberduck FTP software. The links work in iWeb when I un-check the option to make them inactive. Once I upload my site, several of the links don't work. This has occurred multiple times.
I am also having problems with missing links to files. I open iWeb and get an error list of missing links. It includes pictures and PDF documents, mostly under the blog sections (Editorials).
Any help any one can give me would be appreciated. Thanks!

You should post your question in the iWeb '06 forum ....

The "link" inspector in iWeb '06 is slightly different to the latest version.
A useful application for checking your links is the freeware Integrity...

.SWF Links work in Preview, but not in Browser

I'm sure this question has been asked plenty of times before, but i can't seem to find the answer. I have created an advertisement with Flash CS6, Actionsript 2.0 (because it has a pageflip). When i test the file on my computer I can click on a Button that I created and it pulls up a webpage. If I upload that same .SWF file to the webserver, the button doesn't work. I have adjusted the Publish settings so that Local playback security is set to "access network only", and still it does not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello!
Thank you for checking my pages. I did clear the cache. Updated software. Repaired permissions. Rebooted (a million times). I also made sure I had no overlapping graphics. The problem appears to be on the pages linked from This Week (in the navigation bar), the pages are Probability and Measures of Central Tendency. The links are in Text Boxes with frames on them.
I tried viewing the pages using Safari on my iBook, on an iMac using Safari and on a PC using Firefox. I get the same links not working. It's just odd that they appear to function "normally" in iWeb. I was hoping I did something dumb that I could fix quickly. If not, I'm having to do the pages over.
Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Database link works for form but not report

I have created a database link to the scott.emp table in a remote database then created a local synonym in my Portal.
I then created a Form and a Report referencing the local synonym. The for works and allows me to insert record but the form does not. The report compiles fine but I get a message that Portal can't find the underlying table. It seems that if the form works then the report should too. Does anyone have a recommended solution?
Thank you.
Sam Masias

There is a bug filed for this issue. And it should be taken up for fixing most probably in next release.
