SetVariable in IE6.0

I'm using the following code in a javascript function to set
variables in a SWF
It works fine in IE7 and FF2 but variables are not being
passed in IE6.0 - they show up as undefined.
I spent several hours Googling for some enlightenment on
this, checking the code, trying alternative syntax, etc. but the
dang thing just doesn't work.
I know about query strings - and it does work in that format
on IE 6.0 but I wanted to use javascript so that I can pass
multiple sets of vars into Flash using separate lines of code
versus having to concatenate them all on one long, error prone
line.

try this
1) open your IE(6.0) . on the menu click on the tools --> internet options .
2)click on advanced tab (scroll down till you see java (sun) option )
3) check the java (version ) for applet if it is unchecked . click apply .
4) close all browser windows and then open IE and try to open the web page with applet .
let me know if it works . hth .

FF doesn't work anymore, and seeing this forum through IE6 makes me hate things

== Issue
==
Firefox is crashing or closing unexpectedly

This is a direct reply to http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/594409 because I cannot answer to it. I selected "I have the same problem" among the checkboxes and it tells me "YOU MUST SPECIFY A POST SUBJECT". I tried all the checkboxes and the problem persists. I'm on IE6 because FF is out the window (read on) and to be honest, this entire domain loads ''poorly'' through here (no suprise, but guys, people come here to switch FROM 6.0, what are they going to do if they only see basic html unless they refresh twice per page?)
Basically, the response:
Exact same ''thing'' here. Today, suddenly and for no apparent reason FF and Opera crashed permanently at the same time. I could not start them, nor reinstall them, after reboot or in failsafe mode. Firefox installer v3.0.7 AND v3.6 both crash on 0% extracting process and die. I don't know what to do - my IE is a 6.0 version for design testing purposes - it doesn't even store cookies (and installing a newer IE just won't happen).

Thanks I'll look at that entry. Still I'd like to point out that this page clearly says that the timezone is to be set in rc.conf, which is a bit confusing. I must've followed this guide to get to my current configuration. I am dual booting with multiple other systems (xubuntu, win7, puppy, crunchbang) so from what I've read win7 might be the problem, but I haven't started it since i installed arch and my time has been off from the start.
Should I simply use NTP now that pacman is working again?

Bug in IE6 afecting Log on page of EP

Hi all,
I don't know if this is the best forum to post this, but let's try
I thought you might know something about a bug I've discovered in IE6 with Autocomplete in forms, and appears in the Logon Page of my Enterprise Portal.
The Logon page of the Portal uses forms to ask you to identificate before log in. The problem is that on some computers when using IE6, when you start filling a text input box the autocomplete field will display in the wrong place.
We are receiving some calls about users annoyed by this.
Do you know if there is any possibility to fix this bug?
Thanks you very much in advanced!
Stella

Hi that's because the browser...
The logon screen take the language from browser, to get that screen in EN go to Tools menu (Internet Explorer)
-> Internet Options -> Languages... and set English in the top of languages... if only appear German, add EN and move it to the top.
Afterwards just reload the page.
The contain (once you have logged on) language depend on user setting, for this reason all appear in English after logon.

Help with XHTML columns in IE6

I'm having some problems with my columns in IE6. The math is
all correct and it lays out perfectly fine in firefox as expected.
For some reason IE6 seems to be doubling the numbers I assign as my
margins. Can anyone give me a tip as to what's wrong here before I
trash this whole idea and go with a old fashioned table.
2 columns.
15px left and right margins on the "left" column, 470px wide
15px right margin on the "right"column, 455px wide

Its an IE6 float/margin bug. If you add a margin in the same
direction
as the float IE6 will double it. Add display: inline; to the
css styles,
as below, to counter-act this problem.
#left { margin: 0 15px; width: 470px; height: 100px; float:
left;
background: #f00; display: inline; }
#right { margin: 0 15px 0 0; width: 455px; height: 100px;
float: right;
background: #666; display: inline; }

Part of Web page not getting displayed in IE6.0

Hi,
I m facing an strange problem, my saftware was properly working in IE 5.5 but when i check it on IE 6.0 part of web page which gets loaded through a Servlet does not gets properly displayed, ie the lower portion gets hidden, to an extent of surprise if i resize page manully then it gets displayed.
i have to give demo to the client day after tommarow, if any one can help me in this context, that is how to get it rectified,
I request you to mail me urs suggestions on:
[email protected]
Thanks...
Ashish

Hi,
In all probabilities thats a display problem rather than codes. Try different settings on your computer. If not try running that on someone else's comp whcih has ie6 but does not have a refresh rate problem. Even if you think that migth be code related you might try a javascript function to resize your page on the body onLoad function.
Hope this helps

Font in embedded swf now not showing in ie6

Hi There,
We've noticed that a .swf which was recently updated using CS5 no longer displays the font in ie6 - it was originally created several years ago in CS3 so we're wondering if something has changed with regard to the way Flash embeds fonts?
This tutorial looks fairly extreme for something so simple: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/embedding_fonts.html
The font is the Microsoft font Tahoma and we've updated our test machine to the latest version of Flash - but still no joy.
When I click various text in the Flash file, they're all set to the following in the properties panel:
- Classic Text
- Static Text
Is there a simple way to embed fonts or do you now have to create a font symbol and follow all the steps described in the above link?
Sorry, have just never noticed this before.
Any help or pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Cheers

It should work just fine in IE6. You might want to make sure you don't target any version of flash higher than you absolutely need to. I'm not sure how extensively supported IE6 is with Adobe any longer.
If you're not using any dynamic text and it's literally all static then you don't need to embed the font at all. Flash does that for you automatically on static text fields. The user (as kglad said) does not need to have the font installed. The text is baked into flash as vector outlines.

Spry Bug? Background Colors/Images not showing in IE6/XpP

I'm trying to wrap up my site for MiniMAX SE7EN (Cheap plug,
it's on 6/26 in DC) and I've got a Spry Accordion Component I used
in Dreamweaver CS3 to display all the speakers and then I switched
the CSS file to allow for different colors and a background image
to show through. Seems fine in Firefox and IE7 but in IE6 for PC's,
it appears black and only black. Is this a Spry bug or something I
screwed up with regarding the CSS?
http://www.minimaxconference.com/

I am having the same problems in IE7. I'm using the latest
version of everything (Spry 1.6.1 and javascript file version 0.12)
and at first I was having the problem on my drop down menus
appearing horizontal with all the correct styles but when I changed
the rule ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul to position: relative; the drop
downs appear vertical now but I have no beige border around the
whole ul anymore and I'm getting white space inbetween list items.
http://www.wusf.usf.edu/Header_Nav_Footer_newStyleSheet.cfm
so if anyone has any advice I'd much appreciate it. Also i'm
using 1px width on my borders no decimals.

An image misplaces itself on IE6

Hello all.
I made my website a year ago using frontpage. I was in a
hurry to make it and having all of the office suite I figured I'd
use it.
I now have Adobe Creative CS3 design premium and I am trying
to remake my website bigger and better.
I've been learning and accomplishing a lot with dreamweaver
but have run into a few problems.
The main one at the moment is on my "homepage". I only have
FF3 and IE6 on my computer. (By the way, how do I preview in
others?...can you tell my experience is limited?). Previewing in
either one that I do have, there are very, very minor differences
with one exception which has me baffled. On the page I have an
image that shows correctly in FF, but in IE it is displaced to a
lower spot, as if I had two images one on top of the other. That's
just so odd.
If anyone has any ideas on what I can or should do, I'd truly
appreciate it. And please be gentle with me as I virtual always
work in display mode and only look at code for curiosity's sake.
I'm sorry that's all the info I can give you as this page is not up
and running since I want to finish everything before I replace the
current website.

Please post a link to the page. The answer is always in the
code, not the
narrative.

Accordion not showing up at all in IE6

I have a standard accordion set up at
www.taradeal.com/pow.html
and it works fine in Safari and Firefox, but does not show up at
all in IE6 (the initial load of the text bits flashes up, but the
Spry re-work of the code seem to fail). I'm using Spry 1.6.1,
freshly updated for DW CS3.
The accordion display a standard RSS XML.
Here's some code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"

</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">

...some more simple display, and a Google tracker

Thanks for any pointers on what's wrong.

Well, it seems to be a bug in the handling of the XML file
contents. I fixed it by changing the code in SpryData.js to force a
"manual" parse of the XML code. Not a good solution, but I don't
know the codebase well enough to find the root of the problem. I
know that the firstChild.nodeValue is "Object required" but I can't
figure out who sets that and why. Maybe no ActiveX object?
http://www.taradeal.com/pow2.html
still broken in IE6 if you want to check it
http://www.taradeal.com/pow.html
uses changed code and dynamic-data accordion works
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet.prototype.xhRequestProcessor =
function(xhRequest)
// XMLDataSet uses the responseXML from the xhRequest
var resp = xhRequest.responseXML;
var manualParseRequired = true; /*** DC for IE6 **/

Different behaviour between IE6 and IE on opening Office documents via KM

Hi all,
we're in the process of rolling out Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) and noticed something unexpected when opening non-html documents from a KM navigation iview. When clicking on the links in the ivew the documents are all opened in a new window because the hyperlink / href contains "target=_blank". When the document itself is for instance an Excel document, the browser will ask wether you want to open the document or not. When you choose to open the document, Excel launches and the blank IE6 window is closed in the background. When the user is done with the document he or she will return to the portal screen.
This nice behaviour does not occur with IE7. The blank window remains open so when the user closes the Office document they are looking at an empty IE7 screen.
Is there any way to fix this by customization or even by code change? It seems to me that this is more a SAP issue because for all HTML pages and for all documents that have IE plugins such as PDF'syou want to open a new window but for the others you want only the application to be lauched, not an empty IE.
Message [3141588|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=147594&messageID=3141588#3141588] seems to deal with the same problem and got a somewhat disturbing answer.

I found the solution on another site, superuser.com, so I can't claim the solution as my own, but it worked for me. Kent Ng says:
I face the similar issue with Excel 2003. If you have installed Skype-Click-to-Call, just removed it to resolve this issue.

PNG Transparency Fix for IE6

Hope somone can help with this. Basically I have a PNG image with a transparancy to sit over a gradient background, like this :
http://www.hpwebdesign.co.uk/mklink/index102.shtml
The little graphics next to campaign metrics are OK, but the main header image they sit in with the light blue gradient and hand graphic etc is not - the little areas around the curved corners should be transparent but are not (in IE6).
I assume this is because that is a background image for the <div> being referenced in the CSS, rather than dropped into the page directly.
So I guess my question is can this be overcome?
Thanks.

IE 6 doesn't support transparent PNGs natively. You will either have to resort to Javascript hacks to force IE 6 to render it correctly (although these do not work for repeated background images in CSS), use a lowest common denominator image format (GIF), or use conditional commenting to give IE 6 it's own stylesheet with it's own image to get something somewhat like what the other browsers will see.
Or just not worry what IE 6 sees as long as your site content is accessible and usable.

Skillbuilders Modal Page on IE8 with an IE6 compatible Apex theme

Hi,
We have been using Theme 13 for quite some time now - I'm aware it's not the best theme in the world to use but with the number of application pages we have now it will take a long time to upgrade them to a newer theme.
Recently we implemented the Skillbuilders modal page with more than a little help from Dan McGhan and it looks amazing, using any Apex theme, when using IE9, Chrome, Firefox etc. For some reason, when using IE8, we are experiencing strange behaviour.
The modal box is not showing the Close button and the right and bottom sides are hidden from view inside a parent div. This is a known issue with the jquery ui dialog, but I was hoping someone might have come up with a workaround to make it show correctly.
If you visit [url http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=62488:2:0:::::]this example with IE8 and click on the names, it doesn't display correctly.
Can anyone help? We know switching themes to a non-IE6 compatible one works but I would like to fix this without changing stuff to that extent.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards, Pete

Pete,
The page templates for the main page and the modal page are missing DTDs so the browser is running in quirks mode. Try adding the HTML5 DTD as it's the simplest:
<!DOCTYPE html>Note that this may cause other parts of the template to "break". These can be fixed but depending on the severity it may cost a lot of time to fix.
Regards,
Dan

How can I stop midi files being played by the QT plugin in IE6?

Hi
Since reloading XP and QT 7.5 Pro, I have a problem I did not have before. In Explorer, my .mid midi files are associated with my preferred Karaoke player.
However, when I click on a .mid link on a web page in IE6, it uses the QT plugin to play it, rather than my preferred player. I have check my QT preferences file types, and midi files are definately NOT associated.
Firefox did the same, so I simply disabled the plugin, clicked a .mid link, and Firefox then asked me to choose a player. However, if I disable the plugin in IE6, when I click a .mid link, I just get a blank page and a baloon warning me the page is trying to use a disabled plug in. My only option at this point is to quit or re-enable the plugin.
Can anybody please help?
Thanks.
Message was edited by: alan_dr

In case anyone is interested, I managed to solve this. Basically I disabled the QT plugin, went into Windows media player and assigned midi files to it. Then I went into Explorer and switched the files back to use my Karaoke player. THen I unassigned midi in Media player and reenabled the QT plugin. Bingo!

Any ideas

Hi Dhiraj,
When you click on the Log off button, do you see any yellow triangle icon (Something like warning) coming at the bottom left of the browser?
If so then you are experiencing a Javascript error with your browser. If you click on that icon a pop up should come up with the exact error.
If you get the error I mentioned I would recommend you to change the security settings of the browser to meduim or low.
Also if you go to internet properties->Security->Trusted Sites->Sites button,
You can try adding the URL of the Portal that you are using like :http://mysapportal
See if this works.
Thanks

What is causing my UL to go wrong in IE6/5.5?

I am designing a masthead and all looks fine in IE7, FF,
Safari, Opera, but in IE5.5, and IE6 the "ul" called "leftmenu" is
halfway across the screen. The UL should be lined up just to the
right of the "thisisatest" title. All appears fine in IE7.

I think it's because you're missing the closing --> before
