I'm working with an existing web app that was developed under IE6 then the users upgraded to IE7.
Most pages still run fine, but there are a couple which get "cannot disply the webpage". However, on my PC which is also IE7, I do not get the error.
Any suggestions where I can start looking for the differences between PCs where it works and PCs where it doesn't? My customer has a supplemental laptop to run IE6 to do the functions that he can no longer get to on IE7!
Thanks.
Is "Show Friendly HTTP messages" on? Try turning it off and see if you get a proper error message.
It's already off - we learned about that a couple weeks ago!
Mm... this is really difficult to troubleshoot. It could be anything. Is the web server in the trusted zone for those customers?
Not to shoot down things you suggest without even trying, but why would it only affect two pages in our entire web app comprised of...oh, I don't know, I'll say 50 pages?
Here's something else, however. The page in question displays intially and it displays a lot of data. There are search criteria or filters at the top of the page. When he turns on a filter, such as only show records with account number 0325 he gets the error. It's strange - because it just showed the page with no filters!
Also, this is ASP (Shoot, wrong forum, and I'd been doing so well!) if that matters.
Thanks...to be moved, I guess?
Moved - and when you run this .asp page, are you able to debug?
It's a long-shot question, but there must be something you can do to isolate this. What about Firefox, what does that show for the same conditions?
I don't think I know how to debug ASP...good thing all those books I ordered on a dead language have arrived and are on my shelves here at work!
Nor do I know that much about Firefox except that it's come up alot in response to topics I've googled. Is that another browser?
In the long term this does not matter and the page will get migrated to .net, so I'm not sure how much time I (we?) should spend debugging it. Maybe it's the next page I should tackle in my migration path.
Thanks.
My first reaction to this was "You are joking."Quote:

Especially Firefox with the web developer toolbar to examine your page and Firebug to debug javascript. Firefox has become very popular in a short amount of time, so it's definitely worth downloading, installing and using.

Sadly, no. One should always be cautious what one posts on a public forum when one wishes to continue to hold her head up high...Quote:
