My links don't work correctly in Internet Explorer

J

J McGinnity

My links all work fine in Firefox and Netscape, but not Internet Explorer. I
have to manually right-click the links and click on "Open link" for them to
go where I want, and some of the links aren't even recognized. I really
would like the links to be usable with the left mouse button. I have IE
version 6.0 and Frontpage 2003. My web page is
http://www.jemsystems.com/ICPtemplate.htm. Please help!

For starters, starting on line 94, the following link is corrupt:

<font color="#89030d" size="+2"><IMG_SRC="HTTPS:
store.prostores.com? border="0" computerservicecenter catalog
AboutUsButton.gif?>

It should be:
<font color="#89030d"
size="+2"><IMG_SRC="HTTPS://store.prostores.com/computerservicecenter/catalog/AboutUsButton.
gif" border="0">

Thanks, I just fixed it and checked my other links, which look okay. I'm not
sure how they became corrupt, I don't usually work directly in the source.
Any other suggestions? I'm still having the same problem.

Well,to be perfectly honest, I'm confused.

When I open the page in IE, I am getting formatting symbols and split cursors and can drag
content around the page, just as if I'd opened it in FrontPage.

Did you create this template or buy / download it??

If the latter, you need to contact the author.

If there are instructions on EBay describing how to make this interact with EBay, you need
to check there.

No, I created it from scratch. I know what you mean about it looking just
like Frontpage, though. The weirdest part is that it works just fine in all
the other browsers. I'm not worried about making it work in eBay, the first
thing I want to work out is getting it to work on the website right now.

Ok I just looked at it on another machine and also opened it in frontPage.
( fwiw, I was "not" prompted for a password )

The page has several nesting errors and also I can't see where these span
tags do anything.

Condition:</font></b><span id="RTE39"><span id="RTE40"><span
id="RTE41"><span id="RTE42"><font face="Book Antiqua" style="font-size:
9pt"><img border="0" src="iconGreenStar_25x25.gif" width="25"
height="25"></font></span></span></span></span><p>&nbsp;</p>

And mismatched tag errors. Extra closing </div> tags etc.


<IMG_SRC needs to be <img src


You need to give it a doctype above the opening <html> tag at the very top
of the page. Try:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">


You need to switch to code view, right click and reformat html and then run
a compatibility checker.
