Netscape 7.1 and Explorer 6

Post by gary04450 »

I am almost done with the menu and I am testing it out.

Test site is; http://www.stalbansmaine.com/test/index.html

When I am using Explorer 6 the menu works fine, however when I use Netscape 7.1 The index.html file is fine, when I go to another link, the "home" link on the far left of the menu disappears and the Milonic name comes up.

I have placed the correct code in the .html file dealing with link the Milonic so the menu does not load the in the menu.

Why does it work fine in Explorer and then in Netscape it does not? Am I missing some more code?

Anyone seen this problem?

Thanks,

Gary :D

Just a word of caution about hiding the link to milonic.com.

Do this at your own risk, Google and other search engines will consider this spam and penalize you.

So not only is hiding our link unethical and in breach of our terms it's also damaging to your website.

ok...all fixed :D

So does anyone one know what is going on with N71.? I can still see the Milonic link on my menu? I thought there was code embedded into the evaluation copy of the menu that looks for a link pointing to http://milonic.com/ on web pages using the menu. If it finds the link included within the HTML of your website, the menu doesn't add any links to the menu as it did before.

In Explorer 6 the link does not appear and all looks OK

I think it may be a bug and you should report it. It happens in netscape 6, 7.1, and firebird.07 also. It doesn't happen in netscape 4.79 [that uses the mmenuns4.js file]. So, I'd assume it has something to do with the mmenudom.js file. I did find that if I eliminated all the menu coding netscape is writing to the page for the section you have in the table the problem disappeared, but not knowing programming I don't know if that really is a fix.

gary04450,
when I went to the site in Netscape 7.1 and downloaded the page from there, the view source shows all the info from the milonic_src.js and mmenudom.js file. Just something I guess netscape does. But, one thing I noticed, you have the link to milonic and the href is correct but if you note the actual text part doesn't have the / I think that may be the problem

Code: Select all

<a href="https://milonic.com/">
http://milonic.com</a>
add / in the text part after com and see if that does it.
