Url link with target="_blank" hangs in Internet Explorer 7 BUT works fine in IE6, FF, Safari?

Okay, so I have a SWF embedded on a page, which has a link to a target="_blank" url, and it works in every other browser, INCLUDING the notorious ie6, but NOT in IE7?
IE7 just opens a blank page (without the address in the address field) and displays 'connecting...' and stays there forever.
• I even manually typed in the adress of the site I'm trying to access with the link, and the page opened just fine in IE7.
But when I click on the link from the SWF, it hangs again and doesn't open. I manually typed in both addresses with and without the 'www' (i.e. http://somewebsite.com and http://www.somewebsite.com) and both opened in IE7.
But the link from the SWF ONLY opens a blank page with the 'connecting...' and stays there forever.
• I feel like it was working previously, but I could be wrong. Besides that, it is working in ie6, of all things. So I don't get it?
• This also happens with other website that have a link with target="_blank" in IE7, so it's not only my site.
As always any leads are greatly appreciated.

First off that first link to the graphics site does not work.  Getting a page not found error.  Although I was able to do a quick lucky guess and added an "l" to the end of the address and it worked.
Second, because the link is embedded within a Flash document, your problem will lie within the ActionScript code as opposed to the HTML.  Thus you would be better off posting this in the Flash forum with your ActionScript code to get better troubleshooting responses.

  • URL link with target _blank

    Is it true that is not possible to insert in wiki pages a link to an external page with target set to "_blank" (new page)? If possible, how to do this?

  • Layers don't appear properly inside table in Internet Explorer, but are fine in Firefox and Safari

    How can I get layers that are inside tables that are
    inside another layer to appear properly in Internet Explorer. It
    works fine in Firefox and Safari on Mac and PC? The layers that are
    causing the problems contain a table with an image and a caption,
    so 2 cells. Then the layers are within a larger table that is
    within a layer. I don't use IE (cause it is the bain of my
    existence) but for a client they may want it to look good on all
    browsers, even if it is IE 6 on a PC, maybe the browser version is
    too old and I shouldn't worry about it? I know IE is not compliant
    with web standards so is this the problem or is there a way to fix
    the problem so it will look good in all the browers? The URL is
    http://uweb.txstate.edu/~ts20/scevents/spec-coll-events.html
    so if anyone could look at it IE and firefox and see how I could
    fix it, this would be very appreciated!
    Much needed help. Thanks for any input.

    >>I knwow IE is not compliant with web standards
    That is too broadly stated to be credible. Certainly IE6 has
    its problems
    but is highly compliant with most web standards. To be an
    effective
    designer/developer one must have a working knowledge of IE's
    deficiencies,
    not just write it off as non-compliant. After all, it is
    still used by some
    70% or web users (based on W3C Schools data.)
    Please post a link to your site.

  • Rollover only works on the border  in internet explorer but works fine in all other browsers

    I created an aerial map and on specific areas I created a rollover, meaning when you rollover an the image of exp. a house a picture of the house pops up in bigger. It works really well in all browsers..... but in Internet explorer. In internet explorer nothing rolls over. but when I put a border, it does rollover but only when the mouse is on the border. I do not want the border there. I want it to rollover when teh mouse is on the area How can I solve this issue just for internet explorer.
    Below is my coding i used:
    In HTML:
    <div class="map">
    <img src="Img/map-of-area.png">
    <div class="maparea">
    <a class="volley" href="htmlmainhouse.html"> <span> <img src="Img/photos/map/fields.JPG" width="170" height="130" alt="sample" border="0"  /></span> </a>
    </div>
    </div>
    In CSS:
    a.volley{
    /* border: 2px solid red; */
    height: 35px;
    width: 90px;
    position:absolute;
    top: 310px;
    left: 275px;
    z-index:20; 
    a.volley { 
    display:inline; 
    z-index:30; 
    a.volley span { 
    display:none; 
    a.volley:hover span { 
    display:block; 
    position:absolute; 
    top:1em; 
    left:1em; 
    width:64px; 
    height:64px; 

    For rollovers on image maps, you'll get better cross-browser results with JavaScript functions.  See link for details:

    I updated Firefox and now Realplayer can't download any videos( download button in upper right corner of video don't pop up and there is no download option if I right click) if I use Internet explorer it works fine, I also went in to make sure I had it checked to pop up it is?! So it's not just youtube for me its all videos!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == the last firefox update
    ''locking due to the age of this thread''

    haven't tried it myself but saw this earlier in a blog somewhere:
    "try retro installing FF v3.6.3",
    makes sense 'cos I've only been experiencing the same problem with mozilla & realplayer combo since updating to latest FF v3.6.4
    noted that under IE realplayer plugin still works fine, button to 'download this video' comes on as before.....
    from what I read retro install will pick up all your bookmarks etc. do no worries there
    naughty, NAUGHTY mozilla people! you were 'bombproof' until today....what happened? good luck sorting it out though!!!! I still luv you!

  • After a crash and update firefox will not connect to any webpages. Internet explorer is working fine. What's going on?

    Firefox crashed. Closed all my windows - did the auto update thingy with accompanying message. Brought up the windows that had closed as usual - all said "problem loading page". Firefox will now not connect to internet. It's not a problem with my connection etc - internet explorer is working fine. Anyone else have this problem today?

    So, it's been 13 hours now and no answers. From reading the Airport Discussion board "
    Airport has a self assigned IP address, 169.254.175.198 and will not be able to connect to the internet"
    is a very common problem and I find it hard to believe Apple has not responded with a fix. I may have to take it into a Genius Bar and see what they can do but I do not have high hopes.
    You know, I was talking to someone last week and the name Apple came up. "Ah", he said, "the Evil Empire". Their success has made them much more brash than MS ever was.

  • URL links provided in emails (Windows Mail) stopped working. I get a popup message: "Windows cannot find...." asking me to make the URL is correct. I connect to Internet Explorer, but not Firefox, my default browser.

    I have already updated Firefox to latest version and reset the default mail program to Windows Mail. But Windows Mail now doesn't want to recognize Firefox. If I shift to Internet Explorer, I have no problem. I have no problem receiving or sending emails, just using links contained in them.
    This happened suddenly, two days ago, at the end of a day when linking had been possible, per usual.

    nothing that I could find would solve my problem, so I just gave up trying...
    then I had a group of Microsoft Updates badly interact with each other, causing me all kinds of stability problems involving SQL and printer drivers.
    To fix those issues, I backed out all updates within the prior two months, then [slowly and painfully!] reinstalled them -- when done in groups, you can tell how Microsoft corrects bad updates by noting which ones are not reinstalled.
    I also had to download and install every single MS SQL update available before everything that was broken worked again. Note that none of the updates had titles that suggested anything at all to do with web browsing (other than Internet Explorer) or Firefox.
    There was also at least one Firefox update shortly after my re-installation of Windows Updates.
    Funny thing happened along that path: as of today (version 32.0.1) has none of the problems I reported, but I cannot say for certain which change fixed them: I was far more concerned fixing SQL and printer issues to even test Firefox for default file association settings.
    Sorry that I cannot be more useful, other than the general suggestions to:
    (1) keep your system fully updated with all patches
    (2) keep your anti-virus, anti-malware, and anti-spybot software current as well
    (3) keep any program that uses HTML and other browser protocols also up to date
    (4) take regular snapshots of your registry, and create a system restore point before every system and software update, so you can more easily back out problems
    (5) keep the installation package(s) for prior version(s) of software (and Windows Update files) at least until you verify an update hasn't broken anything.
    Hope that helps.

  • In Firefox 5 links with target="_blank" don't open in new window or tab. Is there a way to make them do that?

    I've search some info about this and it seems like there's a lot of people that are annoyed by links opening in new window/tab and that the 'target="_blank"' is not valid in strict XHTML. I'm guessing this could be reasons why Firefox 5 ignores the 'target="_blank"'. But in some cases you really want to open a new widow, in my case I'm using a flash application and want to open links in new windows from there and then the ctrl-click doesn't work. When opening the link in the same page and then go back the application is reloaded and it's state is lost. Probably should try to find out if there's some other way to open links from a flash application, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make Firefox 5 open 'target="_blank"' links in new tabs.

    I don't know how to delete my question, anyway I'm not having this problem anymore. In our organisation the IT department deploy Firefox updates with certain settings and limitations, in the tap-options the checkbox for opening new windows in new tabs where checked but disabled. They made some changes to make this checkbox enabled and now it works as expected if it's check new windows open i new tabs and if it's not in new windows. They never opens in the same tab as they did before.

  • 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">

    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!!!

  • Images made into links (in divs) not working in Internet Explorer but works in Firefox. help!

    Hey guys,
    The text links are fine, but the image links don't work in internet explorer. Anyone know why this is happening?
    Sample code:
    <a href="facebook"><div class="fb"><img src="Facebook.png" /></div></a>
    The link links to another HTML in my site

    If you anticipate having more questions, a great self help is to validate your code, that is, test your code against the rules set for the particular DOCTYPE you are using.
    http://validator.w3.org/
    "you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").
    In this case it would have pointed out that you can't put a <div> inside an <a>.

  • Can't Upload Large Files (Upload Fails using Internet Explorer but works with Google Chrome)

    I've been experience an issue uploading large (75MB & greater) PDF files to a SharePoint 2010 document library. Using normal upload procedures using Internet Explorer 7 (our company standard for the time being) the upload fails. No error message is thrown,
    the upload screen goes away and the page refreshes and the document isn't there. I tried upload multiple and it says throws a failed error after a while.
    Using google chrome I made an attempt just to see what it did and the file using the "Add a document" uploaded in seconds. Can't figure out why one browser worked and the other doesn't. We are getting sporadic inquiries with the same issue.
    We have previously setup large file support in the appropriate areas and large files are uploaded to the sites successfully. Any thoughts?

    File size upload has to be configured on the server farm level. Your administrator most likely set
    up the limit to size of files that can be uploaded. This size can be increased and you would then be able to upload your documents.

  • Slices NOT working in Internet Explorer -- but work every other browser!

    I've spent all day trying to figure this out and hope someone experienced here can help me out.
    I've created a left menu for my website using slices (in photoshop cs2). Everything seems to work fine - I upload the date folder and html file to my server, etc. However, when I load that page in IE (any version), it loads really slowly and then shows "x" boxes for the last several slice images.
    It works perfectly in every other browser (FF, Opera, Safari, etc). What could the cause possibly be? I've just reformatted my computer so I doubt it's internal. Strangely, it works fine on some computers with IE, but not others.
    Any help most appreciated!
    thanks

    My wild guess will be a browser cache issue. Hold down the Shift key while clicking the Refresh button and see if that helps. If it doesn't we'll definitely need a link.

  • Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at any website I visit yet internet explorer is working fine.

    Thank you so much for the link, Gryllida! Selecting "restore defaults" on my McAfee firewall was the key! Thanks again! ~stacy

  • Select query hangs on Oracle 9i but works fine in Oracle 8i

    Hi Guys,
    For a recap of what happened:
    Migrated from Oracle 8i to 9i for a customer, all queries and statements are working fine, except for this particular query. If i run the same query on 8i it works like a charm.

    Hi,
    are you still on a 32bit kernel on AIX?
    How are the Form4.5 connected, are they on the same box, or are they using the forms GUI?
    What about the statistics, how do you collect them? Is the database set to the COST based optimizer?
    Do you use dbms_utility.analyze_schema, or this:
    exec dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats( -
    ownname => '$OWNER', -
    estimate_percent => 10, -
    granularity => 'ALL', -
    method_opt => 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE 75', -
    degree => NULL , -
    options => 'GATHER $GATH', -
    cascade => TRUE -
    What does it mean the SQL hangs? Can you cancel the query? Do you have to kill the session? Do you use any diagnostic tools like TOAD to trace the session, see what it is doing? Usually if this is a performance/tuning issue, you will see the session is not dead, but you will see advancing reads.
    Regards,
    Richard.

  • Javascript in Dreamweaver error in internet explorer but not in mozilla

    Hi,
    I had a friend create a image viewer of flash files for my

    However it stalls in internet explorer but works fine in mozilla.
    How do I make it work on both here is the code that was used :

    function loadSwf()
