Site runs in IE, but not in Firefox?
Hi,
I have been developing a website, and i would like a little advice if anyone can offer some:
The site was developed in ASP.Net, and tested in IE 6. It works perfectly in Internet Explorer, but doesn't even get past the introduction page in FireFox (My current version is 1.0.1)
Further information:
I am tracking the site through Statcounter.com (Which uses Javascript on the pages), and running a sql database (I doubt the database has anything to do with it though).
Could the Statcounter Javascript be the issue?
I am concerned, as Firefox is becomming very popular, and i would like to be complient.
Thanks.

You may want to post a link if it is publicly available. If not you may want to post some code so we can see what the problem may be.

There could be a 101 reasons. I've often noticed that pages with validators on it don't run in FireFox at all.

Hey, thanks for the replies so far.
The URL is www.turnerjewellers.com
Ok, this is wierd, yesterday I tried to load the site in Firefox on 3 different computers, 2 in Stockholm, and 1 in South Africa, and it never got past the Intro page. This morning, it's working fine on 2 different pc's.
Will anyone willing, please take a quick look around the site and see if it gets past the introduction page with the logo (In FireFox)
This is annoying.
Thanks again.
P.S. The site is still under development, so any suggestions are welcome.

I get to page 2 and FF hangs. Real bad, I had to end firefox.exe from taskmanager.

Re: Site runs in IE, but not in Firefox?
That's the same problem I was getting yesterday.
Do you have any suggestions?
I don't know where to start?

Re: Site runs in IE, but not in Firefox?
Hmm, i've removed the statcounter code, could you check again for me? (Sorry about the crashing porgram)
I'll post the HTML code of the Intro and Home page... it has some javascript written into the page which i think may have something to do with it as it checks for browsers.
thanks again... there is possibly a design issue to pick up on for Firefox here.

If you could get to the Home Page (Which you can still do in IE) then here is the source from Page Source.
I wonder if it has anything to to with the javascript. I really doubt it's server side.
Thanks.

I'll check it, but can you remove any validators if any at all?

Re: Site runs in IE, but not in Firefox?
I'm looking at it in IE right now. Are those images just images or image buttons?
-
Re: Site runs in IE, but not in Firefox?
I think it might be that menu you have on top there. How did you make it/get it?
-
Re: Site runs in IE, but not in Firefox?
Hey Mendhak.
The images on the site are just asp images with links... even the "buttons" are just images.
As far as the menu goes... it's a javascript menu that populates from an XML file.
I can't understand why it's running fine on my pc here, but not on everyone elses?
It's running on v1.0 and v1.0.1 of firefox here.
P.S. we don't have any validators on these pages, but we do check if the client has a cookie we use.

Re: Site runs in IE, but not in Firefox?
Can you remove the menu for a while?
PS: FF 1.0, cookies enabled.
-
Re: Site runs in IE, but not in Firefox?
done.
Commented out the menu code.

Re: Site runs in IE, but not in Firefox?
The page works fine in FF now. The problem is most probably with your menu.
Tell us about your menu control.

Re: Site runs in IE, but not in Firefox?
Hey Mendhak,
Thanks a bunch for your time and effort.
The menu is a "Coolmenu" which can be found at dhtmlcentral.
I actually found some obscure website which i've just tried to find again (with no success) which detailed how to make the menu read an xml document.
So I used that code, modified it a bit more to what we needed and presto.
I will scout around for the website, and post the link here. The author was actually quite clever in using client side code to read the xml into the html.
The only problem is that netscape doesn't read xml doc's the way we needed to.
Until then, i'm going to take a look at the free "Codethatmenu" which claims to read xml and be cross-browser compatable.
P.S. sorry FF users, till i get this sorted out... use IE on my site:wave:
later

A suggestion: if you're working with an XML document within ASP.Net, perhaps create a usercontrol that renders the appropriate coolmenus content using XSLT?

Re: Site runs in IE, but not in Firefox?
Or create your own menu control.
-
Re: Site runs in IE, but not in Firefox?
skmMenu is a open source (C#) menu control that should to the trick.

Re: Site runs in IE, but not in Firefox?
Thanks <ABX,
So far, that is exactly the control i've been looking for:bigyello:
Will update you when the menu is up and working... just downloaded it.

I'll place a voodoo curse on you if FF crashes again. :afrog:
