Safari and Internet Explorer

I just purchased a Mac Mini and this is the first Mac. I have owned but have worked with them at work. I've come to a small issue with Internet Explorer and Safari. I would prefer to use I.E. however, when in I.E. and I goto www.securecomputing.com (The top menu bar shows doubles) if I use Safari it doesn't. If in I.E. and I goto www.search.com, I don't see the Search logo at the top. If I use Safari I do. Whats going on in I.E. ? Anyone have any ideas ? If you have any ideas please e-mail me direct to: [email protected]

Music urls ending in asf are actually scripts calling up the music. Some of these scripts work on the Mac, but some web sites incorporate proprietary Windows-only technologies or else call up music containing Microsoft's Windows-only digital rights management. Sometimes you can look at the source code for the web page and find the address for the actual music file or radio station and you can then cut and paste it into Windows Media Player. If the file does not contain DRM, it should play.

Page not displaying in Safari and Internet explorer but showing up in Mozila

Hi,
I bought this pre-made template which I would like to use for my website. When I upload it to my website and try to open the pages like "Contact us", "News", "Team members" and so on, they are not displaying in Safari and Interner Explorer, but they DO show up in Mozilla. Also, the pages I created myself do show up in all browsers. I really need to fix this problem as I already put a lot of effort to create my web site and now it is not working online. I would really appreciate some help. Here is the link to the original template:

Thanks,

The tag should read "myself" (no quotes) not "_self".

Safari and Internet Explorer won't run on my iMac G4 anymore (OS 10.2.8)

I cant get Safari or Internet Explorer (IE) to work on my iMac anymore. I can get iTines downloads and standard updates, but Safari and IE won't work - usually Safari will open (IE will usually not open completely - hangs up and must be force quit). Safari will hang up when loading a web page. Any ideas?

Try deleting the preference files for each.
Go to Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.Safari.plist and com.microsoft.explorer.plist.

My firefox won't open on my computer recently. Safari and Internet explorer open to the web without a problem. Thanks

When I click on the icon, nothing happens. Up until about 2-3 weeks ago, it worked fine. Safari and IE open without a problem. I have a computer running Windows 7

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Hotspots not working as expected in Safari and Internet Explorer

first of all, I am using the double <object> tag with conditional comments to hide the inner <object> tag from IE, to embed a QTVR in a web page (as recommended at A List Apart, see http://www.alistapart.com/articles/byebyeembed for details). I am not using the <object><embed> method any longer since <embed> is not standards-compliant.
second, see this URI
http://www.30fps.com/html/aboveCristallinaVREn.html
and/or check out this code:
============
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"
width="480" height="302">
<param name="src" value="../mov/aboveCristallina02VREn.mov">
<param name="controller" value="false">
<param name="align" value="middle">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="hotspot88" value="<../html/cristallinaVREn.html> T<_self>">

<object type="video/quicktime" data="../mov/aboveCristallina02VREn.mov"
width="480" height="302">
<param name="controller" value="false">
<param name="align" value="middle">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="hotspot88" value="<../html/cristallinaVREn.html> T<_self>">
</object>

</object>
============
this is the code I am currently testing and having issues with, for an embedded QTVR movie with blob hotspots. To see the hotspot in the VR, click the target icon at the right of the controller bar then turn around about 180 degrees.
1) in IE for PC (tested in v5.5 and v6.0), clicked hotspots invariably open in a new window and I cannot figure out any way of forcing them to load in the same window, even using the following code (greatly abbreviated here, of course):
<object>
<param name="hotspotXX" value="target.html">
<param name="targetXX" value="_self">
</object>
or
<object>
<param name="hotspotXX" value="<target.html> T<_self>">
</object>
2) Safari 3.0.4, the hotspots don't work at all. I can only successfully target a URL with a hotspot, when I use <embed> but as noted above, <embed> is not a W3C-compliant tag and I don't wish to use it any longer.
Naturally, I tried an extensive Google/Apple mail list search already and can't turn up any viable solutions to either.
TIA for your help...

Firefox won't load any websites, where as Safari and Internet Explorer have no issues.

I've re-installed Firefox and changed Firefox's proxy settings amongst other suggestions that were made on a similar page. It was Firefox 3.6, but I tried installing the 4 version. And no one has been around to live chat with, pretty lame that its offered if I can't even use it.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
If you use a Firefox 4 beta release then you should create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

There are no issues using 2 or 20 browsers, keeping the bookmarks sync'd is not a pushbutton affair, export your bookmarks from IE then import them to Safari

Updating Safari or Internet Explorer on my new mini

I just purchased a new Mac Mini. Unfortunately, I used manager assistant incorrectly and transferred everything to my new Mini. Because of that, my desktop and icons look exactly like my old Mac. Also, Safari and Internet Explorer are the same versions as on my old Mac. I can't even open up some web pages with this version of Safari. Surely I did something wrong. Please help me!!!

Use Pacifist to extract Safari from your computer's installation disks. Your computer did not come with Internet Explorer.

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

Hi,
I'm sorry but Im a real newbie and really need help!!!
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">

          </script>
            <noscript>
            <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="449" height="449" title="Products">

              <param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="SCALE" value="noborder" />
              <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/>
              <embed src="Our_brands/boxesnew.swf" width="449" height="449" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" scale="noborder"></embed>
              <br />
              <br />
            </object>
            </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!!!

After downloading last update itunes and safari will not connect but mozilla and internet explorer does running windows vista

Itunes and safari will not connect after installing the last update, but mozilla and internet explorer does.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Firefox and internet explorer doesnt work with mac os 10.4.7

i can't seem to get firefox and Internet explorer to work on my g4 da mac with os 10.4.7. any suggestions...

Did they ever work for you?
Did you recently install some new software or make a hardware change to your machine?
The first rule of thumb with misbehaving applications is to erase the Application's preferences and then try it again, but that might be somewhat dangerous considering that you could accidentally erase all of your bookmarks/favorites in the process.
I'm running Mac OS 10.4.7 and I can get FireFox 1.07, 1.5, and 2.0, plus IE 5.2.3 to run, in addition to other browsers like Safari 2, OmniWeb 5.5, Netscape 7.2, and Opera 8.5 and 9.

SWF Object and Internet Explorer

I am experiencing some strange behavior with a SWF Im including in the following web page:
http://www.bostonredevelopmentauthority.org/
The SWF displays properly on the first page visit in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. If I navigate away to a child page, then back with the back button in the browser, the SWF no longer displays in IE. Firefox does not exhibit this behavior.
Any ideas what might be going on here?
Thanks,
Greg

Local versus Hosted Websites and Internet Explorer 7

I am working on a site that will be deployed over the internet and distributed on a DVD-ROM. There are many users that do not have access to the internet throughout the day as they are mobile. They have laptops and what to have access to the information on a DVD-ROM. The DVD is needed as the site is far larger than 700MB.
When I upload the site, it renders well using Safari (Mac), Firefox (Mac), Safari (Windows), Firefox (Windows), and Internet Explorer (7.X Windows).
When I create a DVD-ROM with a little autoexec.bat file to automatically load the browser and index file, it works great in all of the browsers I have listed above except, Internet Explorer. The javascript menu's are no where to be seen. I have spent time looking a the security issues, scripting permissions etc, and can't get it to work.
Have body have any specific helpful ideas? I really would like this to work under IE, especially since it renders just fine while accessing the site via the internet. I just doesn't work on a local copy.

I was having this problem too and found the Dreamweaver 8.0.2
updater that corrects that problem. See

Does this website show OK on PC and Internet Explorer?

Hello guys,
I have just created this simple website (with Mac using Flash).
It looks fine on my Mac and Safari, but I have no opportunity to check it out on PC and Internet Explorer.
So I am wondering if there are some PC users among you, so you could possibly check this website for me, if everything looks OK and works properly.??
Browser background should be black. (videos should open in a new window, with browser background also black)
Thank you so much for your help.

Or maybe there is some html code ? I am not sure.
It might be worth checking on the code. The W3C markup validator finds a few issues with the page:
[Errors found while checking this document as -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 TRANSITIONAL//EN!|http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.icebergfil ms.com%2FcineDemo.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 ]
