One of the keywords at fault is "Sponsor". I know this because I've just spent 2 painful hours trying to figure out why the menu failed but only with certain menu data files. After picking out all of the code bit by bit I finally found the culprit. It's a bloody good job there was only one problematic keyword otherwise I'd probably still be debugging the thing this time tomorrow and I'd have missed the footie
Anyway, after closer inspection of the internet, courtesy of my good friend Google, I found that this is a growing problem and something that is going to cause, not just us here at Milonic, but many many other web developers and web designers problems. All you hard work may be ruined by some lazy internet security code.
The reason for this is the way Norton Internet Security changes the content of your web pages without even asking first. This, in my humble opinion, is very naughty indeed. I mean, yeah, do something to stop these awful adverts by all means. One prime example is http://www.itv.com I simply HATE that website, every time I go there I'm just about to select a link when bosh, an advert for toilet paper appears and I've gone and bloody well clicked it by mistake. That to me is possibly fraud. I'm taken somewhere I had no intention of going and somebody has got richer in the process. After all said and done though it's just another way of spamming people and us unfortunate web surfers are just left to get on with it, which we do because we are all too busy to do anything about it.
Also, take note that those of you who make money from Google Ad Words may suffer too. Why? because it's blocking those adverts as well. I'm sure Google will find a fix soon but for now Norton are pissing everybody off it seems.
If anybody knows what the keywords are we could maybe post something here so that people don't use them in their menus. It's no good asking Symantec though they will probably just tell you it's a secret.
Sorry that this turned out to be a bit of a blog but this stuff REALLY annoys me. Like the fact that people can't edit the menu out of the box in Macromedia Contribute because it doesn't support IFRAMES. Er, hello that's part of the W3C HTML standards http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/present ... tml#h-16.5 because of this we are just left to pick up the pieces after the bigger boys have busted our toys. We always bounce back though
