Oh alright then, you smooth talking so and so! ;-))
While applying for my on-line marine hand-held radio licence
yesterday (on topic)..........and what a nightmare that was on a
distinctly user-unfriendly site.......I got to the stage where my
licence was accepted and I was trying to view it and then download it
(it's free if you apply on line but £20 if you do a paper transaction
via the post).
Hovering my mouse arrow over the button to download it I could see
the string:
javascript:c_d(s_13,new Array("1-RT4Q1","s_1_2_19_0","SWERowId0=1-
RT4OW,SWERowId1=1-RT4Q1"),s_14,s_15,"_blank")
Clicking the button opened a new page with 'about:blank' where the
url address normally is and, surprise, surprise, only displayed a
blank page.
I use IE7 by the way. I tried everything I could think of to fix the
problem, going into Options and faffing around with settings and
nothing would fix it. In the end my old sparring partner in Belgium
downloaded it via his Firefox browser and sent it across (hence his
cryptic posting just now....bless him ;-))))
I contacted the webmaster of Ofcom and got a very quick reply saying
that this was a very common problem and suggesting it was something
to do with my settings......but not offering a solution to the techie
problem. He did open it for me though and attach the pdf file that I
wanted to his e-mail (and also offer to send it through the post, if
I wished).
My question is, does anyone know how to get IE7 to handle a
Javascript link in a web-site?
