Windows Internet Explorer pop-up

Yvonne · Oct 18, 2006

On my website I keep on getting a pop-up message (windows internet explorer)
with a word on my page: "graduation". Have no idea how it came on there. How
can I stop it from coming up.

I don't see any pop ups but your page is pulling in information from other
sites such as myaffiliateprogram.com, google-analytics.com and
easyhitcounters.com so it could be coming from one of them.

Another thing I noticed is that you have multiple <BODY></BODY> and
<HTML></HTML> tags in the page which isn't good and some of your images
point to files on your hard drive which means you see them but the rest of
the world doesn't. Ex:

<body style="background-attachment: fixed"
onload="FP_preloadImgs(/*url*/'file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Yvonne/My%20Documents/My%20Web%20Sites/photo-save/buttons/button18.gif',/*url*/'file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Yvonne/My%20Documents/My%20Web%20Sites/photo-save/buttons/button17.gif',/*url*/'file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Yvonne/My%20Documents/My%20Web%20Sites/photo-save/buttons/button1B.gif',/*url*/'file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Yvonne/My%20Documents/My%20Web%20Sites/photo-save/buttons/button1A.gif')"
bgcolor="#6083AB">

All that 'file:/// stuff is your hard drive. You need to import your images
into your web first and then reference them with an absolute URL, like
http://www.photo-save.com/images/mypic.gif
or a relative URL like /images/mypic.gif

Otherwise no one will see them.

Thank you very much. I am trying to learn FrontPage and I have to read your
message a couple of times. How do I get rid of google-analytics.com? I will
get rid of myaffiliateprogram.com and easyhitcounters.com.

David Berry · Oct 18, 2006

Switch to Code View and delete the lines for it.

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js"
type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-784227-1";
urchinTracker();
</script>

There are so many HTML errors etc on that page I gave up trying to make a
list.

Several lines are duplicated, lots of bad html, unclosed tags, bad links,
and not even the closing tags.

I would suggest making a new page from scratch - and leave off the hit
counters and any other stuff at least until you verify that the basic page
is working.

Yvonne · Oct 18, 2006

Lost your last answer, but I think I got rid of the google-analytics.com. I
copied your just in time, before the message disappeared.

Yvonne · Oct 18, 2006

Thank you very much. I will study the rest of your suggestions.

Yvonne · Oct 18, 2006

Thank you for your time. I apologize, just learning!!

David Berry · Oct 18, 2006

No need to apologize. Everyone here was just learning at one time or
another

Just let the tool do the work for you. If you open FrontPage and create
your page in Design View you can then switch to Code view and see how HTML
is written and pretty soon you'll get better and better.

This is what is causing the popup

<blink>
GRADUATION TIME:</blink>

OR

<blink>
YOUR
GRADUATES ARE LEAVING FOR COLLEGE</blink>

Strangely a search of the page does not find the text GRADUATION TIME

But YOUR GRADUATES ARE LEAVING FOR COLLEGE is the para in large font, second
in the blue area

Try removing onmouseover="FP_popUpMsg('GRADUATION')" from this para - I
found it at line 594.

But all the tags in the wrong places may be throwing the page completely out
of whack

Windsun · Oct 18, 2006

The reason I suggested starting over is because it will take you more time
to figure out what you have than to make a new (and better) page.

It looks like you did some cut and pasting in there - that is probably why
some sections are duplicated. Also there is no closing </body> or other
tags - which indicates you cut some things out that you should not have.

You start with a new clean page, get it looking like you want for basic
layout and colors. Save a copy.

Then, and ONLY then start putting in the other stuff, and each time you
change something look at it in code view. Even if you don't have a clue what
the code is or means, you can see what was added and maybe figure out why.
But I still suggest leaving out hit counter. Hit counters and a couple of
similar things are the sure mark of a beginners site. You might BE a
beginner, but never advertise that fact

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Windsun · Oct 18, 2006

BTW, I forgot to mention that the colors you are using are almost impossible
to see for some types of color blindness.

See here for more info http://colorfilter.wickline.org/

Color blindness or partial color blindness is quite common, about 10-15%, so
you should try to pick text and background colors that don't merge into one
blob.

Hey, I quite like the idea of a Hit Counter, although I don't much like the
FP supplied one.
I am thinking of writing my own. Maybe I can add things like:
1. Suppressing adding to the count if the referring page is already on my
site
2. Supressing my own IP address (except that it may not be a constant, since
I use a router)

Andrew Murray · Oct 18, 2006

Yes, I get that 'alert box' when I mouse over "Your Graduates are Leaving
College".

The snippet of code below is what is causing the "problem".


<blink>
YOUR
GRADUATES ARE LEAVING FOR COLLEGE</blink>


etc, etc.

It looks like a FP 2003 behaviour indicated by the on mouseover FP_PopUpMsg
bit. That gives it away as being FP code.

David Berry · Oct 18, 2006

Good catch! I only looked at the page she sent in the link (I thought she
meant that's where the error was) so I didn't browse around the site. There
are still other issues though plus all those outside sites she's pulling in
that may cause other problems.

To all: I printed all your answers and will study them today. I do not know
what I did, but have to redo my whole website except my pricelist. Nothing
works on it anymore, oh well.
I wish you guys were sitting next to me. Starting a business and doing my
own website is not easy at my age (67). Want to stay independent!!!!! Again
thanks for all your help and time. Have problems finding where I can rate you
guys. Absolutely wonderful and helpful and AAAAA+++++

Oh well, hang in there.

I can now I am in my late 60's (turned 65 in August), so there's life yet.

BTW,
I am a homebody so I can spend time looking at code - athough I must go out
in the beautiful Canberra sunshine now (27 deg C today) and do some
shopping.

If you get a bit closer to site that's working, repost your revised site
name and I can have a look, as can the other people here.
