Help - Menus not recognised in Opera/IE ok in Firefox
Poster: iain_s
Dated: Saturday December 26 2009 - 23:33:37 GMT
I've just been doing some maintenance on my website (http://www.doxeyca.org.uk) and I've suddenly found that the menus on the index page are not working in IR7/8 and Opera 10 but are OK in Firefox 3. I cannot see what I may have done. Other pages (built with SSI) are OK. example click on "Using this Site".
(I've just moved over to SSI but this page uses SSI echos but no files are included)
I'm on version 5.824 and the menus have been working fine for 4 years.
I was a text file with the relevant html and header on .js but it wasn't allowed - html follows
The changes I made today were mainly in the main news box and I added the 'Kompozer' logo and link.
Anyone any ideas ?
TIA
Iain

Sorry - didn't check grammar properly before sending
Fails in Internet Explorer 7/8 (windows XP) and Opera 10 (ubuntu) and OK in Firefox (3.0.16 ubuntu and 3.5.5 Windows XP))
I was going to send an attachment but not allowed to.
I didn't touch the file headers when I used Bluefish/Kompozer to edit file. I have had problems with NVU/Kompozer in the past when editing source code that is why I now use bluefish for all source changes.

Sorry to fill up forum with unnecessary postings
I've found the problem

I'd forgotten that I'd added "html-tidy" into bluefish to make code easier to read (with option "output-xhtml").
This seems to have added the extra bits :

I don't know their significance at the moment but I'll check tomorrow (or later today !) and do more research.
but it's strange firefox didn't care !

Hi,
The cdata tags are used for xhtml validation, that's all, if you leave them out, it still works but it won't validate in xhtml.
As to not showing, well, I can see the menus [submenus, that is] in IE6, 7, FF1.5, 2.0.0.18, 3.0.8, NN7.2, 9, Safari 4.0.4, Google Chrome 1+, Opera 9.5, 10.10 which is the version now available, which I just downloaded. Do you by chance have something turned off, like js or something?
PS, you should upgrade to the newest version which is 5.830

Thanks Ruth.
By the time you looked at them I had removed the 'offending' lines and it was OK in IE/Opera again. Thanks for confirming that it's Ok in other browsers. I will be doing a little more testing to see if I can re-create the problem but I assume that 'tidy' had inserted the code to make me 'XHTML' compliant !
I have now changed the tidy option to 'output-html' and it's OK. The reason only the index failed was that the js code for all the other pages in in an 'Inserted' header file that I hadn't tidied.
Thanks again
