Nav hover & visited links works in IE but not in Firefox, Chrome, etc.

I created 2 side-by-side horizontal nav bars below the header tag with div tags and css. The left nav bar uses different colors than the right one. The load, hover and visited colors all work fine in Internet Explorer. When I test them in Firefox, Chrome, Opera and hand held devices, this is what happens:
If I click on any of the links in the right nav bar, all the links in the right nav bar turn to the visited color.
Or, if I click on any of the links in the left nav bar and all the links in both nav bars turn to the visited color.
Thanks!

Did you define a full set of link states for the #left and #right sidebars? It could be that some other links styles are cascading down to your sidebars. Another way to insure good cross browser results is to define link states in the following sequence: aLiVHAF = a, link, visited, hover, active, focus (optional for keyboard users)
CSS:
#left a {text-decoration:none}
#left a:link {color: red}
#left a:visited {color:gray}
#left a:hover,
#left a:active,
#left a:focus {color: green}
Repeat same rule order for #right sidebar

Our web based application allows links to external documents like word- these links work in IE but not in Firefox- any idea why?

the protocal that works in IE is
P:\My Documents\2010 Workshops\Nashville Brazeway\Nashville_Workshop_2010.docx
This drive is shared and opens in IE but Firefox gives msg
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (p) isn't associated with any program.

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

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.

Document.all doesn't work in Firefox, you need to use document.getElementById().<br />
See https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM/document.getElementById
<pre><nowiki> var parseYear = parseInt(document.all.year [document.all.year.selectedIndex].text);
var newCal = new Date(parseYear , document.all.month.selectedIndex, 1);
</nowiki></pre>

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 in linked local .htlm files work i IE, but not in Firefox.

I collect genealogy data in tables in local .html files.
Links in every .html page to parents, families and verifications.
The first link works OK, but if I click on a link in the already linked .html page, Firefox hangs.
Using links in this manner works OK when I use IE.
If this problem is policy related, please advice a method to bypass the policy.

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.

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.
