Subject: Frames issue in MSIE 7


  Posted by: Guru - [330592710] Mon, Oct 23, 2006, 21:39

I haven't installed MSIE 7 yet, so I'm not able to troubleshoot this.

Several people have had difficulties with Football Pickff and GuruGolf using MSIE 7. I think the problem relates to the use of frames. Images are not displaying, and links are not responding properly. I can't reproduce the problem in IE6.

Has anyone with MSIE 7 solved detected and solved the problem?

I bit the bullet and installed MSIE 7 on one computer. It turns out the problem wasn't actually related to frames.

The problem related to the [base href= ] command. Evidently, it now has to be included within the [head] [/head] section of the page. Previously, it could be specified anywhere in the page, and could even be respecified several times for different page sections. Now, only one [base] specification can be used, and it must appear within the [head] section.

I think I have fixed Football Pickoff and GuruGolf to comply. I'm sure Market Madness will need some tinkering, but there's no rush for that. I haven't checked the Assimilator, sortables, or any of the other pages yet, but I'll do so in the next day or so. Meanwhile, if you are using MSIE 7 and you notice images that don't display properly, or links that don't work, let me know about it.

You may have fixed it for MSIE 7, but now the links don't work for Firefox when I switch teams.

I think it should work now - all browsers. Try again.
