Hi All

I've been asked to look at a website for a client. It will load fine in
Safari, but doesn't in Internet Explorer OSX. I've tried it on 4 different
machines and all they all do the same thing. Safari is fine, the address
loads in the type of IE, but nothing else.

The website is: http://www.jdco.com.au

I'm not 100% sure why it would do this, so would any web guru be able to
advise what it could be.

I don't regularly make a habit of emailing people off-list with a 
question sent to WAMUG and I'm not about to start now, since it 
completely defeats the purpose of an email list.


Over to your web-site issue:

Works for me in a standards compliant browser (Firefox/Galeon).

Perhaps turn on the JavaScript console and see what gives because I've 
never seen so much JavaScript to render a simple page.


htmltidy gives back more errors than I've ever seen in a page, most of 
them missing attributes for table properties.


You should also know that the page does some seriously funky stuff to 
actually render, writing divs on the fly, generating menus inline - 
which you don't actually see if you do view-source, but in Galeon if 
you save the page, it comes back in great detail.


I'd be instructing the client to contact their web-developer.

Failing that, have a poke around in scripts/Menu.js for some fun.

Let me know if you need more.

Looks like some javascript is loaded at the start.  May be IE is too 
old now to use that javascript, so it falls over.  The web gurus on the 
list may have a better reason why!

It's definitely tied up with the Javascript code and IE5 for the Mac. 
The same page loads fine in IE5 in Windows 2000 in VPC. I must say that 
the web designer has taken the approach of using a sledgehammer to 
crack walnuts with this, though.


Get your user onto Safari, of he doesn't like that, Firefox, which also 
loads the page perfectly, BTW. Use IE for only those pages which 
absolutely will not work with anything else.
