any1 having issues with IE 8???

ok so its been brought to my attention.... for some reason the site ive been keepin updating/workin on for my dad, www.palosrc.com is locking up internet explorer 8.

now i use firefox....so i went ahead and installed IE 8....and the same happens to me. it loads majority of the site, and bam locks up. are there programs i can run my code through to see if there are issues? or any1 have ideas???

thanks guys!

Maybe the Javascript? Try disabling JS in IE and see if it locks up.

Either that or tell your dad to switch to Firefox. Download it, uninstall IE, and rename the Firefox shortcut "Internet Explorer."

validate your code. YOu have some html errors.

What are you talking about? IE8 rocksors http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explo...he-facts/browser-comparison.aspx

IE8 kept disabling stuff for no reason. stupid thing

well, so i went through alot of the coding... more or less just started at the top... and removed things i wasnt using... there was some unused java still in there, thinking that was causin the issue but it wasnt. i ending up taking out the Iframe i use for the Cutenews (php) script on the main page, and it started working fine with IE8 after that. any ideas or work arounds? im kinda stumped.

Put the PHP script on the homepage, wrap the displayed portion with a <div></div>, and using CSS give it a fixed height and overflow: scroll;

HTML
<div class="scrolling-content"><?PHP include("path/to/show_news.php"); ?></div>

CSS
.scrolling-content { height: 300px; overflow: scroll;}

Thanks Tim.

ok thanks tim and eric! but i did that....but now everything else i had under the iframe, is now in that box....which doesnt make sense cuz the <div> is ended after the php insert.... im puzzled

Your show_news.php is outputting HORRIBLE code. Each time it outputs a news item, it forgets to close like 2-3 different <div> elements. It's also repeating <style> information for no reason.

hmm interesting. ya thats the lastest version of cutenews php 1.4.5........damn

Just edit the Cutenews template that displays the news. Get rid of all the divs, just use the {news} {author} tags that CuteNews uses and a few <p> tags. You can apply styling to the <p> tags by doing...

Code:

<p class="author">{author}</p>

well thanks guys. i went through, redid the template script, and everything is good! thanks
