Website a mess in IE5, 6, 7

Its the typical story, the website I am working on looks
great in Safari/Firefox, but doesn't seem to render the same in
IE5-7, most notably the nav bar is out of place. How can I fix
this? Should I even care about IE5 and 6?
Attached is the CSS code, and here is the url to one of the
pages:
www.bsmallbeck.com/drama2/about.html
Thanks!

coding in incorrect
The name should not have the #
* <td colspan="2" class="header_red"><a name="#Vinyl" class="header_red">...</a></td>
although this would work
* <td colspan="2" class="header_red"><a name="Vinyl" class="header_red">...</a></td>
You should really be using id= which can be used with most tags
* <td colspan="2" class="header_red" id="Vinyl">...</td>..

Why are the websites all messed up?

Hello. I don't know how to explain this. But a few months ago, all the websites I load on Firefox were fine. But its been a month that all the websites are like messed up. The thing is that if I want to login to Yahoo Mail, the login bar and the password bar is tiny. And even if I type anything, it won't show what I am typing. I don't know what is wrong. IE won't even open the whole website and Chrome is also messed up.

If this is happening on Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer, then it seems like it might be an issue on your computer itself.
However, you can try doing a few things. Read [[How to clear the cache]], also, [[Websites look wrong]]. These two websites may be of some assistance.
You can also Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.

Basic dreamweaver question: My website looks messed up in certain browsers, help please

I made what I thought was a great web design in Dreamweaver, I uploaded to a company called Hostmonster and it looked really good on my Firefox browser, however when I looked at in Explorer it was jumbled and even on my friends Firefox page on his computer it didn't even have the same fonts. If someone could give me some directions it's greatly appreciated. I need to send out resumes with a link to my website. Thanks again. My website(it's still in progress so all the links don't work) is www.lorirogersphotography.com

See if this works for you, it's a quick put together and can be cleaned up a little more.. but I'll leave that to you.
I've added an ID for the navtable and applied the ID to the table. Styled the menu links using your previous Style 14 - so you now can see that I've removed all the <span> </span> tags and the code is a little cleaner for their removal :-) I'll leave the header image background fix to you. There is also a style for the image on the right, so that it has some white space between the black cell as well... play around with that until you get the exact padding your require. All other styles can be edited as needed.

Website looks messed up in internet explorer....

I created a website for my volunteer fire company with Dreamweaver 8 on my Mac. The site looked fine when I reviewed it with Firefox and Safari so I uploaded it. Then I started to get phone calls that it was fouled up looking. When others looked at it using Internet Explorer on there PC's the background images in the tables became offset and in some cases started to repeat. Is there an issue between Mac and internet Explorer or between Dreamweaver 8 and Internet Explorer. The site is www.goodwillhose.com if you want to take a look. Please, any help would be appreciated.

Is it possible to "no-repeat" the background image in a table?
Yes, with CSS or inline CSS styling like so:
<table style="width: 1000px; border: 2px solid silver; background: red url(your-image.png) no-repeat top center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
Your code is invalid, owing to your use of deprecated table height values and HTML syntax with an XHTML document type.
Use the on-line code validation tool here:
HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org
You might want to study this tutorial. It was written with DW8 in mind, but the basics are still the same.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/tableless_layout_dw8.html
If your site visitors use pre-IE7 browsers, your transparent PNG images have a light blue cast to them. Do a Google search for IE PNG Fix.

Website is messed up on IE

I'm currently working on this site:
http://www.akaratworld.com
it works just fine on other browsers but strangely odd on IE
any idea why this is happening ?

Hello again
I'm finding your page a bit difficult to work out. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong neccesarily but, only that I find it difficult to analyse. And my suggestion earlier that you use the validator on your page still stands.
The problems you are seeing in IE are I think, code related and not browser related. I can not see any problems with the links to your style sheets and as far as I can see, they all point to the appropriate files.
I think that I can still see a stray </script> tag in your head which is here:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/tinydropdown.js"></script>
<script src="/SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</script>
<script src="/Scripts/menu1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
What I would do is delete that stray tag and then test your page after that. Then see what other problems the validator throws up and try to fix those one by one. Some are more difficult to track down than others but each time you fix one, retest your page. That's how I would do it which probably reflects my own lack of expertise.
I have found that some problems in code that the validator poitns out are more disruptive than others and in my experience, stray or mis-mathched elements can cause most problems. Having an extra closing tag can throw out other tags. and there's a possibility that the stray </script> tag is causing rendering problems.
My suggestion is an easy thing to try. If it doesn't work or makes you nervous it shouldn't be a problem to add it back in and upload your page again.
Anyway, in the absence of any other advice, it won't hurt.
Good luck
Martin

Netflix website won't load correctly on new Macbook pro.

The Netflix WEBSITE isn't loading correctly on my new macbook pro. The < > arrows used to scroll through movies on the homepage don't seem to be working. When you click/hover over them nothing happens. Also, the title and description box that usually appears when you hover your mouse over a movie isn't showing up either...and lastly the box where you can filter the movies you want to see in a specific category "Ex. "Dark comedies, Romantic comedies, Foregin Comedies etc.." isn't showing up.
Im assuming this is an issue with either safari or the macbook itself because I don't know what else it could be. I tried clearing all cookies,
cache, and history but it didn't help. The movies are streaming fine it's just the website that messed up. All other websites seem to be working fine though.

Probably a Java issue. Try another browser and also try loading Java from www.java.com. BTW, the current version won't run properly in Safari, so you'll probably end up running FireFox anyway.

Websites look wrong (i.e. w/o formatting)

When I go to websites on Firefox many of them appear to be without formatting or really basic. For example on Yahoo there are no headlines or toolbars, everything is just laid out like you'd see on a site's site map. I can't access videos on Youtube because 1. the entire website looks messed up and there is no way to determine where the original buttons were and 2. videos won't load. The only websites that seem to avoid this problem are Mozilla.com, Wikipedia, and Google. Everything else is messed up and the styling is all wrong so I can't really navigate or use the site. I'm not sure what caused the problem because I've never had it before and early this morning there wasn't a problem, it appeared randomly later in the day today. Thanks for your help!

Windows XP (SP 2)

Try clearing your browser cache.
Tools > Clear Recent History... - hit '''Details''' and make sure only Cache is selected, then select Everything and hit the Clear Now button.

Hide address bar w/WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT

I am currently using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to run Reports with
Developer Server. It is outputing as a PDF in IE5. It works
great. But I have a security concern. The report has to know
who the current user is to properly fill in some parameters. I
use the GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY in Forms to get the USERID and
PASSWORD. These get passed to the browser as part of the
visible URL when the report is output as a PDF in the browser.
I would like to hide the browsers address bar for these reports.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for any suggestions in advance!

I can actually answer that! I had the same problem initially.
I spent a whole day searching both Microsoft and Adobe
documentation
and websites. I finally found the answer buried in Acrobat
Reader's
documentation.
In your Adobe folder(I don't remember exactly where) you will
find
a file called Nppdf32.dll.
Simply copy it to C:\program files\internet explorer\plugins
You should now be able to view pdf files in IE5.
FYI - Acrobat Reader 4 appears to have some sort of bug in it.
Once it is installed it will mess up IE5's ability to download by
clicking on a download link.
When you click on a link for a download it tries to start Acrobat
Reader 4 and then the download just fails.
You can work around this by right-clicking
on the link and selecting save as. But if it is a button that
you
click on to initiate a download you can't do that.
I have not been able to undo this so if you can I would recommend
using Acrobat Reader 3

Subject: Verizon suddenly refuses to send email from Eudora (Mac)

Hello. On August 1st, my computer suddenly lost the ability to send verizon email. It will still receive it, and still sends and receives gmail. I had changed no settings whatsoever (not since last year, when Verizon required a change in the outgoing server name and use of SSL port 465 for SMTP). My iPad will still send a receive fine; it’s just my computer that’s changed. After much troubleshooting, I’ve determined that something changed with verizon’s servers on August 1. Yet a call to Verizon tech support yielded no acknowledgment – other than to confirm that all of my settings appear to be correct.
I’ve been using Eudora, Mac OS 10.6.8 (I still requre Rosetta for several apps.) Side note: before anyone tells me to “join the modern world:” I add my voice to the small chorus who proclaim that no other email program provides Eudora’s functionality. Having been using it for ~20 years, I have several hundred filtering rules, several dozen active in-boxes (windows spatially arrayed on my screen), several user profiles, and a well-organized, easily-searchable archive of my on-going correspondence. Yes, I am well familiar with Mac Mail, having been using it for three years on my iPad. It pales in comparison (as does iOS in general). I seriously tried Thunderbird about five years ago, and unless it has completely changed its paradigm, it too will not suffice. I hope to continue with Eudora and OS 10.6 (Rosetta) for two more years until I retire, then the rest of world can go ahead and proceed with the dumbing-down of computer functionality, right along with the gradual, slo-mo plunge into idiocracy. But I digress.
In addition to having confirmed with Verizon that my settings appear to be correct, I have explored various options using ‘x-eudora-settings”, which provide for all sorts of configuration tweaks. For instance, using “<x-eudora-setting:32403@[USER-PERSONALITY]=465> I can confirm that SMTP is using the correct port for SSL authentication. But then this shouldn’t even need changing, as I already had the setting “SSL for SMTP Required ‘alternate port’.”
Elsewhere, forum users suggest inserting the string “SmtpAuthBanished=CRAM-MD5” into Eudora WINDOWS “.ini” file. I’ve tried the corresponding x-eudora-setting on Mac, to no avail. [ <x-eudora-setting:12909@[USER-PERSONALITY]=cram-md5> ]
Meanwhile, the official Eudora support site specifies two situations where sending mail might fail: “The server advertises that it supports an authentication mechanism that it does not actually support...[or] The server advertises that it supports an authentication mechanism, but has implemented the mechanism incorrectly.” It seems that this is what has occurred with Verizon – but wish me luck in getting them to acknowledge anything along those lines.
I’ve explored other settings too. But at this point maybe I’ve noted enough here for someone to recognize the precise issue and to please suggest a fix.
BTW, Verizon forums website is messed up: it won’t even allow me to register as a user to post there. When I try to sign up, it keeps returning, “Error in Registering User : Could not Register User,Please retry” [sic]. ***?

Michael,
I'm confused. Is SL *Server* required or just the basic SL?
The MacRumors thread at least implies that basic Snow Leopard can be used:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
The graphic there of SL is the same as the SL available on the Apple website, part no. MC573Z/A.
But the thread also states:
Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping costs at 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only)."
Different part nos. But I understand the thread is a few years old now. Is it now the case that one can simply order part no. MC573Z/A from the website, for use in a Parallels environment?
Secondly, I've just read some comments elsewhere to the effect that Oracle's VirtualBox is a nice environment for hosting SL/rosetta – and it's free. Do you, or does anyone, have any comments or tips on running SL (server or basic) in an OVB environment?
https://www.virtualbox.org/
I wrote the original tutorial, initially on this site and later moved over to MacRumors when I discovered that it is impossible to modify the initial post on this forum, back when Snow Leopard Server was being sold by Apple for $499+! So at that time, virtualizing Snow Leopard client was the priority and those instructions successfully completed that task.
But now with Apple selling SLS at $20, a 95% discount, there is really no reason to go through the added installation and maintenance required by Snow Leopard client into Parallels; much better to just install and maintain SLS!
I personally have no experience with VirtualBox and little experience with VMWare Fusion. When I purchased my first Intel Mac, I migrated from VirtualPC on the PPC platform to Parallels and I have stayed with them for convenience and, in my experiences, a good product! Ironically to this day I am still able to use the licensed copy of Windows XP from VirtualPC on Parallels for my brief Windows needs!
Aha, I read on VMWare's site that the SL has to be "server" due only to Apple's EULA. So that's it.
It was a common Urban Myth that the Snow Leopard EULA prohibits its virtualization in Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks on a Mac. That myth has been successfully debunked over the last three years, and given the price reduction in SLS, this action has effectively rendered the little remaining debate (by the one or two members of this forum, who have nothing better to do with their time) moot!
I would be curious to see a link over to where the VMWare site makes such a claim and I would be happy to address it, once I have reviewed it.
Still would be nice to have a better comparative sense of Parallels, VMWare and VirtualBox, as pertains to running SL Server, Eudora, and other Rosetta apps (e.g., in the music and audio world in particular).
Again, I cannot help you here; maybe others will jump in on this question; however anecdotal comments on this forum suggest that Parallels functions at a better level in general (and they also offer a 14 day free trial download, which if you intend to use, you should obtain SLS before you activate the 14 day period).

This is my problem:
The newest flash player crashes everytime I open certain web pages like failblog or tinychat which requires a webcam
I'm not sure what is causing it but it's only when i'm on those webpages that it crashes...
I can go on youtube kongregate steam and I can play tons of games the only thing I cant do is go on certain websites that messes with the newest version of flash for some reason...
I can use ANY other version of adobe flash and it won't crash at all but the problem with using the older versions is that I can't use my webcam on certain sites.
Will there be another update release for adobe flash that will fix this problem? The previous version was fine I don't know what was changed but will it get fixed?
And yes I have also been into the error logs but it doesn't show anything and the codes that it does show, people don't know what the hell it means lol just a bunch of binary number like data...I could post that but I doubt it would be of any help it's just a few short lines of numbers on each crash...I have purposely crashed my computer about 2 times to check if error logs popup and to see what is crashing the flash player but nothing changes in the crash log..
So to sum my problems up into a short paragraph....newest flash player crashes my computer when I go on webcam/webchat/certain websites with flash videos on it, also if I right click and try to tamper with the settings it also crashes my computer...I would like to know if there's a possible fix for this or will there be another update released anytime soon?
Please help and thank you for all future responses I will continue to use older versions of flash player till this problem is resolved, also on my newer i-7 620 processor 5850 ati laptop it crashes but rarely although I can use my webcam on msn on that computer but this is one has problems....

Sorry I wasn't able to respond for a while I work two jobs so I   really don't have time for this although I would still like to get this   solved very much.
In the event viewer all it says is that there was an unexpected shut down.
I have checked and updated everything on both computers I tried to   disable hardware acceleration and that still didn't change anything.
Sometimes when I try to just right click on a flash player and change the settings it crashes, if I try to load certain pages it crashes, if I   try to use a webcam chat on a webcam site it crashes. Though I can   still view other people's webcams in chat ex: tinychat I could be in   there chatting away with some friends from across country and nothing   will happen until I click webcam and flash player asks to allow, it will crash if I try to right click anywhere and that little flash settings popup it crashes.
All of this happens when I use the most current version of flash player any other previous version will not crash when doing any of this although I can't use my webcam since the website is running an updated version which is why I would like to get this problem fixed.
The new firefox update didn't help at all it still just freezes. There is no blue screen, no crash error report, no event log. The event viewer just says it was shut down unexpectedly.
I also tried uninstalling all webcam applications unplugging my webcam and that didn't affect it at all. I've done everything that people have been doing on here to solve there problems, I used the search button and tried options from various threads but none work for me.
I can do everything normally that requires flash player like play games, watch videos, and other stuff but it just crashes when I do those certain things as stated above. It's weird that there is no log, no anything just a freeze and I can't do anything to the computer i've tried letting it sit for about 15 minutes but it didn't respond. I used ctrl alt del after a while, alt tab, alt f4, holding down certain keys, holding the power button in for a while and nothing will happen. It just sits frozen untill I unplug it.
Is there anything I can do to get an error log of the crash since event viewer isn't working?

MacBook Pro with retina display freezes when streaming from Vudu

I don't know if anyone has experienced this before. I have been trying to watch Non-Stop on Vudu tonight with a lot of issues. After streaming for a while, perhaps some 15-20 minutes or so, the video starts buffering non-stop (ha!). The problem is that once that happens, I cannot click on anything. The buffering doesn't stop, but even if I try to quit Safari, the thing freezes Safari and freezes the entire computer. I have been working with Apple for the past 2 hours and nothing that has been done seems to fix the problem. I even ran a diagnostic and it said that I had no issues.
This is the first time I have streamed from Vudu. I never had issues streaming from anywhere else. I am running a Netflix video in the background to see if it will freeze. Since it's not a full screen, I don't know if it will do the same. Nothing else seems to cause a problem, but what is bizarre is that it freezes the entire computer. In the case that the website was messing everything up, I don't know why it has to freeze the entire computer.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so did you get to a solution and how?
Thanks!

I had this exact problem when watching streams on my Macbook pro retina 15". For the sake of testing, I tried opening the same stream i was testing in chrome, using 120 % of cpu, in safari, where it uses roughly 3-10 %. dont't know if this will solve your problem, but I advice trying it.

Report and Notification Settings don't work anymore

I click on Customize Settings and get:
I can't configure anything! Also all my reports have stopped being emailed to me! Did the website 'redo' mess something up?

Hi Dennis Marsden!
Thank you for helping me.
It doesn't work...
I mean that when I try to drag a folder or the entire disk to the privacy tab, the privacy tab remaines empty...
When I use the "+" button to browse the Finder and choose a folder, the privacy tab remaines empty too...
I've got another problem too. Maybe both are tied, that's why I'll explain it :
Sometimes, I am not able to rename a folder or a file... When I try to delete the name, it just doesn't work... And sometimes, it works properly...
For example, yesterday, I created a new folder automatically called "New folder", and I couldn't change the name !
But today, it has worked properly. But the problem happens so often, that today really is an exception...
Thank you very much !
