My (licensed) menu works fine since a long time so thats why I always upgrade it.
Yesterday I have implemented a custom 404 page that sends me an email message so that i can track and fix broken links.
I have found out that the menu generates a 404 error with the following link: http://www.mydomain.com:80/'default'
The 404 page do not show up but I gen the message, so something must be an "hidden" call. It happens every time the mouse cursor goes over a menu item that opens a submenu.
Any idea?
I hope I made myself clear...
Strange 404 error

Hi,
We are most definitely going to need to have a URL so that we can see what the problem is.
Can you provide a link to your website?
Cheers,
Andy

Re: Strange 404 error
When you get the 404 error, what is the page that can't be found.
Like, what's the menu looking for?
I've never seen this before so I can't just come up with an answer yet.

Yes it is a really strange problem.Andy wrote:When you get the 404 error, what is the page that can't be found.

Well if you click on any wrong link (i.e. http://www.mydomain.com/fake.asp) you get the 404 custom page and I get an error message reporting the referer page and the requested link.
It happens that every time you go with the mouse cursor on any item that opens a submenu, I get the 404 error, but you do not see the error page, looks like the menu makes a call to a page that does not exist on the server.
Let's make an example: If you visit the page http://www.mydomain.com/contact.asp and you open any submenu, I ge two message for each menu you open, reporting the following:
- Referer page: http://www.mydomain.com/contact.asp
- Requested page: http://www.mydomain.com:80/'default'
The referer page changes accordingly to the page you are visiting, the requested page (http://www.mydomain.com:80/'default') remains the same.
It is driving me nut!

Re: Strange 404 error
Hi,
Can you please add the following (temporarily) to your 404.php script:
I'll be able to test it and see what happens
Can you please add the following (temporarily) to your 404.php script:

while(list($key, $val)=each($_SERVER)){
$details.="$key - $val \n";
}
mail("temp7621@milonic.com","404 Error from ".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],$details);

Re: Strange 404 error
I have just tried using FireFox 2.0.14 and works fine, so looks like the problem is related to IE7 (Vista SP1) and IE6 (XP SP2).

Re: Strange 404 error
Yes it's me.Andy, I'm just receiveng a lot of errors from UK, I think it is you doing some tests
I think I found it.
You have this in your menu data:
pointer='default';
And for some bizarre reason it is causing Internet Explorer to go fetch a page - Anyway, if you remove it, it should help. I think you could also try removing the quotes so that it is like this pointer=default; it's the quotes that is causing the problem.
You also have some image issues. some image setting in your data file are image=menu/ and others are image=/menu/ they should all really be image=/menu/.... - better to be safe.
let me know how it goes.
Cheers,
Andy
Re: Strange 404 error
YOU DID IT!
It works now, just removed the quotes on the cursor and it works. BTW I have also fixed the images path.
While you are here... I still have a problem with pagematch, the following url are highlight the same:
pagematch=products.asp?cid=12
pagematch=products.asp?cid=123
pagematch=products.asp?cid=1230
I have found a workaround and I write like this:
pagematch=products.asp?cid=12&
pagematch=products.asp?cid=123&
pagematch=products.asp?cid=1230&
Just to let you know.
I'm really amazed by the prompt and professional support, really not easy to get nowadays.
Thanks
