Internet Explorer 7 Users Just Hangin'

My website created in Dreamweaver CS3 works fine in Internet
Explorer 6. However, when users who have IE7 click the link to the
home page of the site, it just "hangs" and never connects or
displays the Home page.
What is going on? Our server team says it is not a server
issue but a code issue. What do I need to do?

Here is part 2:
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new
Array();
var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0;
i<a.length; i++)
if (a
.indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a;}}
//-->

With 3.6.12, Help menu item "For Internet Explorer Users" results in a "Page Not Found" error. Is this a known bug? Is it being addressed?

Clicking the 3.6.12 Help menu item "For Internet Explorers" item results in a "Page Not Found" error.
The URL of the resultant page is https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Windows%20start%20page?as=u
Is this a known bug, if so, is it being addressed? If so, someone needs to work faster.
If it is not a known bug, someone needs to get right on it - you want people to switch to Firefox and then there is this bug -- not a good way to impress Internet Explorer users.

Hi Claudio Roca,
I have encountered the same problem. Do you found the solution for this issue? I will much appreciated if you willing to share your solution and email to [email protected] Thank you so much.

Fms : 'onDisconnect' not called up with MS Internet Explorer users

Hello
We are using Flash media server 3.5 with Windows.
We have deconnection problems with visitors using Microsoft Internet Explorer (to be fully confirmed but we are nearly 100% sure) and in chat rooms; there they wait for their turn to speak to an online consultant, sometimes this waiting list can be 10 to 15 strong.
Normally, when a client is automatically disconnected from a session, whatever the reason it is the ‘onDisconnect’ which is called up.
Sometimes and with MS Internet Explorer this is not the case : the visitor or user is not anymore present in the chat room, he has quit or he got his interview with the consultant but ‘onDisconnect’ is not launched.
This causes unexpected problems like one or several people in the waiting list being kicked out of the ‘room all of a sudden without explanation for the user.
Normally our consultants are on the air for one hour; after this time frame another consultant comes into the same chat room and normally he gets the remaining waiting list from the previous consultant and the previous hour of chat. Sometimes but often, the new consultant coming in sees the first one or the first two of the wainting list kicked out of the list : he then takes the second or third one in the old waiting list.
This is very annoying and time consuming to respond to legitimate calls from customers.
Have you encountered such a problem, and if so, do you have an answer to the problem ?
Regards

It's extremely common and is a well known bug of IE. Just do a search of "ghost connections" and "IE" and you'll come up with all kinds of things. Essentially IE doesn't give up the SWF when the browser closes or just the tab is closed.

Text gets repeated in Mail emails when received by Internet Explorer users

Can anyone please help? When I send an email to someone with Internet Explorer 6 (on a PC) and my message is composed with Rich Text format the recipient gets the text of the message repeated in the same email (ie the same text appears twice) One of the two lots of text is formatted, the other usually isn't. In addition, sometimes the attachments seem to be repeated too, but usually only one attachment actually opens. I have used common fonts like Arial and Helvetica - that doesn't seem to make any difference. I look forward to hearing from someone with a solution! It seems a shame to have to send out emails in plain text.

I meant to say when opened in Outlook Express (not Internet Explorer).
You might want to verify whether you mean Outlook Express or just Outlook. They are not the same.
The problem arises in trying to send out an email that will look the same whoever opens it.
There is no guarantee that you can do this. There are too many things people can do at the other end that can make it impossible.
I'll try the Western ISO Latin as you suggest - see if that helps.
Here is info on problems that can happen with Outlook, in case it is of use. But if you have a lot of problems you may want to consider moving to another app, like Entourage (made by MS to work with its Windows stuff) or Thunderbird.

I am connected to internet but I can't get on mozilla or internet explorer- mozilla just keeps going connecting

all of a sudden I can not connect to mozilla or internet explorer. Mozilla just keeps saying connecting and goes nowhere. This started today. Yesterday it was working fine. I am connected to the internet. Nothing changed in the plug ins to the computer. The search engines just stopped working.I have no idea what to do. The rest of the stuff on my computer is working. I use Mozilla a lot and really need to get it working again. I have tried rebooting computer. I have hooked up and unhooked my modem. I phoned my internet company and as I say the internet is running.

Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?----------------------->
Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting? Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.

How to have bookmarks without folder like in Internet Explorer?

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [[/questions/903215]]</blockquote>
hello in Internet Explorer i go to Favorites and i have all my bookmarks
but in firefox i have now two folder:
Firefox
From internet explorer
i just want all my sites there without folders

IF that were entirely true, then the whole purpose of this thread is moot (automating printing server side). It is possible to load the file via URLs using the following html code:
"<"body>
"<"OBJECT id="pdf"
type="application/pdf"
width=800
height=600 >
"<"param name="src" value="http://localhost/pdfs/vorder_nc.pdf"/>
"<"/OBJECT>
"<"script language="JavaScript">
function waitLoad()
setTimeout("printFile()",2000);
function printFile()
var objPdf = document.getElementById('pdf');
objPdf.PrintAllFit(1);
"<"/script>
"<"/body>
So, if I used php or some other scripting language on the server to fill in the name of the pdf, I can load it via a URL, wait a couple of seconds for it to load, and then print it without user interaction. I wish that the LoadFile method would load a URL so that when it returns, I know it is loaded and I don't have to put faith in a timer that may not be enough for a large file.
This is the situation I'm in. This way works but I don't like the timer. I'd rather have the plugin let me know when it's loaded. Is there another method that can help me do what I want?
Thank again.

NEED INTERNET EXPLORER FIX FOR IWEB!!

Hi everyone,
I need some help. I know this post has come up many many times in the past and there is a lot of sites that have attempted to tackle this issue but I haven't found the solution and I need help!
Basically, as much as I love Safari and all Mac applications, the site I've created is targeting a less tech savy demographic, which unfornuately is comprised of more internet explorer users.
What I did:
- My site is all flash based. I created the flash file through Adobe Flash Catalyst and uploaded the file to my web hosting via an FTP.
- I used iWeb and used the HTML Snippet option and embed the code in it to access the flash file and make it run.
- The site functions great on every browser EXCEPT Internet Explorer.
I've heard that many people have used Dreamweaver to update the code to make it function, but the newer versions of Adobe Products are very confusing and cannot be bothered, unless there is a straight forward fix.
Does anyone know of a tutorial guide or the code to make the site function on Internet Explorer?!?!?!?!
If you would like to view my site and give me some feedback it is: www.uidesign.ca
Thanks!
- Art

I solved my own problem and using Dreamweaver and creating just a basic html with embedded snippets that did the same think.

Problem with ExternalInterface.call and Internet Explorer

Hi, I´m developing a site, (
www.gen-studio.com/avelart2
), and I´m using a swf to display a set of thumbs that when
clicked show an item and its description on the browser, those
items might be images or video, everything works fine with the
images.
And actually it works fine with the videos too, when using
Firefox, but when I test the page on Internet explorer it just
doesn’t work!
On principle let me describe how it´s supposed to work,
a thumbnail when clicked sends an id number to javaScript using
ExternalInterface.call(“myFunction”,myId); -I´m
using AS3 for the swf´s-
the javaScript file has already loaded (ever since$(
document).ready) a XML file which uses to match the id with a file
and the description, if the item to show it´s a video, then it
creates a variable which holds a string with the proper html to
embed a swf (a swf movie player that resides just next to the HTML
file), when loaded, the swf movie player uses
ExternalInterface.call() to ask for the source of the video that
has to play, and that function is as follows:
setVideo: function(){
alert("hola");
return comun.miVideo;
(The alert(“hola”); is just to test that the
function is being called), which it is, but it returns null as a
value instead of the proper string, and this happens only on
internet Explorer, but works correctly on Firefox.
I´ve been reading all day about the subject and found a
few interesting things, which though have made me narrow my
problem, they haven´t just provided me with a solution, what I
found so far:
-I must have in account flash security issues: Checked (my
actionScript follows:)
import fl.video.*;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
flash.system.Security.allowDomain("*");
var vid:FLVPlayback = this.miPlayer;
vid.source =
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("comun.setVideo");
-ExternalInterface and Internet explorer don´t work
properly when tested locally: Checked (I have a server on my PC and
I´m testing the site as well in the above direction).
-The object tag holding the swf must have a proper id
attribute: Checked.
-It´s super important the way the object tag is formed:
Checked, and I also tested the tag separately (I put it directly in
the HTML instead of adding it via javaScript) and it worked as
expected in both Firefox and Internet Explorer, which leads me to
believe:
-I read somewhere that if you add the object tag by using
innerHTML or appendChild, returning values from javaScript to swf
won´t work, but I couldn´t find an explanation nor a
solution.
Well, as I said now I´ve been looking all day for an
answer, so I really hope you can help me or give me some advice on
the subject, thank you so much for your time!

Hi! it solved itself !! (nahh, I wish), but it indeed had a
solution, it was something quite simple, and I don´t really
understand why it was not working in the first place, but here is
the thing:
I´m learning jquery and this is the first proyect
I´m officially using it, so I was using
$('#myDIV').append("string"); to embed the swf, (and it was working
perfectly on Firefox), so since I had narrowed my problem to those
lines, I decided to try some good-old-fashioned-javaScript and
changed it for: var myDiv =
document.getElementById('thatParticularDiv'); myDiv.innerHTML =
('string'); and it worked both in Firefox and IE !!!!!! :)
I´m quite happy about it, and if someone knows
what´s the issue with my jquery approach I would love to hear
it. THANKS !!

Some sites needs Internet Explorer and doesnt open in Safari!!!

Hello,
There are couple of sites that doesnt open in Safari and the messege I get is : The TIBCO General Interface product requires Microsoft Internet Explorer v. 6.0 or greater.
The website is http://www.dsm.com.qa/dsmsite/ And then click on Love Quotes.
Please help me with it.
Thank you!!!

Hi,
As Tom says, the website is geared towards Windows Internet Explorer users only.
The only 2 options you have are to:
1. Send them feedback about the problem to http://www2.dsm.com.qa/dsm/DSM_ContactUs and hope they eventually increase their compatibility with other systems.
2. Run VirtualPC so that you are effectively running Windows on your Mac (or simply buy a cheap PC).
Sorry it's not better news.

Domain redirect and Internet Explorer behavior with cookies

Hi team,
I'd like to ask if the following behavior is "normal" or if there are some possible or better workarounds.
1. My application uses HTMLDB internal authentication (via login page). Session management therefore is based on cookies.
2. I registered a domain and asked the domain provider to redirect the connections to the site where my htmldb application is hosted.
3. Firefox browser users connect apparently seamlessly to the web site, while Internet Explorer users need to tamper with the security settings and add both the domain and the hosting server address to the "Trusted" site list, also disabling the HTTPS only restriction for this kind of sites, because the cookies seem to be blocked by default.
I didn't fully understand if the problem with the cookies is related to the domain redirection but I am guessing it is as I never had this problem before when connecting directly to the hosted site.
Hence my question:
what is the recommended setup in a similar case, is my situation typical to some extent or is there something that needs to be done at either side to avoid these issues?
Bye,
Flavio

Why will twitpic pictures not load in firefox but will in internet explorer?

Why suddenly have twitpic pictures stopped loading in Firefox. They load in internet Explorer but just stopped loading on the twitpic site in Firefox??

The pictures load OK for me, with twitpic on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button]) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show
Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images.

Acrobat PDF reader for Internet Explorer may be unloading/unabling custom plugin

Hi,
My question is basically to understand what is happening in this situation so that I can find where is the problem and how to solve it.
We have used Acrobat 6.0 SDK to develop our custom plugin. This plugin is basically wrapper to few basic tools (note, stamp, text ) etc.. provided by Acrobat 6.0 SDK. We have also developed PDFViewer.dll to view PDF document within Internet Explorer. So when user load document within our website this PDFViewer loaded with the custom plugin and user can use those tools.
We are installing this plugin under <Acrobat X>/Plug_ins/<Company Name>/MyPlugin.API.
In our web site we are giving list of documents and when user click on a document it will load the PDFViewer and custom plugin. We are loading Acrobat.exe in advance so that we can load quickly. Now the problem happens when user open any other PDF in different tab or instance of Internet explorer. ?How?
Consider in a internet explorer user logged in our web site and then he/she can see let's say 10 documents. 1.pdf, 2.pdf, 3.pdf, etc...
Now when user select document 1.pdf we are loading that PDF in the IE within our PDFViewer with custom plugin. (Here I have seen that behind the scene Acrobat.exe is loaded in the processed using task manager)/ If at this time if user opens another instance of Internet explorer or another tab and open a PDF document it opens PDF in the standard Adobe Reader PDF viewer for Internet Explorer resides at (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX).
If at this time user goes back to our site and tried to work on 1.pdf our custom plugin works fine BUT if user opens any other document (let's say 2.pdf) the plug in stops working basically looks like it is not loaded.
This issue only happens if user opens a document in another internet tab or explorer instance and open PDF which resulted in to open Acrobat Activex for internet explorer. If user opens a PDF document out side of internet explorer it is not creating any problem because at that time ActiveX does not loaded.
So my guess is something is going on when ActiveX for PDF is get loaded into Internet Explorer.
I want to know more what is happening and why it is happening. Due to this behavior our web site users can't use any other web site which opens PDF documents because then they have to log off and log back in our web site.
Please we need immediate help.
I am open to provide more details with screen captures.
Thanks,
Twinkle

Hi,
Thanks.
So I want to make sure this is because with Acrobat 9 - the new way to deal with PDF's? Because as per my knowledge it was working fine with Acrobat 8.
Moreover, if I am understanding correctly and I have tested too, the order is important here, right? If I will load PDF in IE first and then I will work on my web site it is not creating problem but if I will launch my web site first and then open PDF within IE in different tab it is creating problem because they are using same interface and when AcroPDF instantiating overriding and failed to load plug_in
Here I have seen that both Acrobat.exe and AcroPDF.dll is using same Acrobat.dll pointing to same memory addresses and that's why problem is happening.
IT would be great if you can provide any other way to "hook" adobe because the bottom line I have to use AcroExch.App from SDK.
One last question, I have seen that if I am opening a PDF in Internet Explorer in a different tab (not in my web app) while pressing SHIFT key and the move to my web site and load different document it is working fine, so the question is what different is happening when we open PDF in IE with pressing SHIFT key and without pressing SHIFT key. IS AcroPDF.dll behaves differently while opening PDF with SHIFT key pressed?
Thanks for all your help.
