Great Work Star57!!!!

I must say Eddy is an all rounder champion. He too was instrumental when I was making my extensions. 3 cheers for Eddy!!!!

Your Welcome, Nice Icons on that site!

Hi,

I'm noticing an issue with the FishEye menu in Internet Explorer. I absolutely love this extension, but I am having issues with it in Internet Explorer. In Internet Explorer, go to this page:

http://www.ktravisj.com/contact.html

If it loads fine, clear your cache, close your browser, and try again. The point is, SOMETIMES it loads horribly incorrectly, it just throws all of the buttons into a little square, stacked on top of each other, and doesn't really do anything.

I was wondering: how could I fix that/stop it from happening? Does it have anything to do with the other icons on the bottom left corner of the page?

Thanks for any insight anyone can give me on this.

IE has a "Compatibility View" setting in tools. If this is turned on, it often displays menus in an odd way. Check that first.

In my IE 8 your menu works fine.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 7:11 pm

Think this is more likely a compatibility issue with the iQuery used on the page the Fish Eye Is using a older version of jQuery and is causing the conflict you can try this code ny placing between<head></head>tags in HTML properties if this doesnt work try asking the builder to update to same jquery used in WB which is 1.4.2
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.noConflict();
</script>

@protectourlands

Thanks for the suggestion! I appreciate it, but, I want to make sure it can work even if the user doesn't have that set..I'd like to get it to where I can assume it works, whether a user has that enabled or not. If I can't, I may have to bite the bullet and drop this extension. I really don't wanna do that, though..

@BaconFries:

Well, in WB I

- went to my "Contact" page
- at the top of the screen, clicked Page >> Page HTML
- went to the between<head></head>tags tab
- pasted

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.noConflict();
</script>

- clicked OK
- published

Loaded up my page in IE 8, on my Windows 7 OS, default browser settings, and it still did the weird load thing. And then, when I refreshed the page it was fixed (which is the problem it's been having).

But, I can't assume users will always refresh the page to fix it. Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that it's an HTML page, and needs to be a .PHP page or something..? That shouldn't matter really,right?

I guess my only option is to get in touch with the author and ask the author to update the jQuery by which this extension is constructed to 1.4.2? Is there anything else you could recommend I might be able to do..?

Thank both of y'all so far! I want to get this thing fixed..

@ etcbbu have you tried it again??/ I would clear all the browser cache and then reload page...as you mentioned you had to refresh page to get it to show correct..this was like clearing the cache and so it showed correctly it should now be ok...

etcbbu · Post by **etcbbu** » Sun Feb 27, 2011 9:36 pm

Well, yeah, I mean, refreshing makes it work just fine. But again, I want this to be able to work on first try without the user's having to do that, because I'm working off of the assumption that users will not think to refresh the page, on their own.

And the thing is, it does just that in FireFox and Chrome--it works first try, every time, without fail.

Anyone have any more ideas on what I could do, on this?? And does anyone happen to know the best way to contact star57, who is the author of this extension? There are various e-mails on this person's website.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Mon Feb 28, 2011 6:41 pm

I guess you may have to just be patient and wait for Star to reply...Eddy made a similar extension that was based around this one you can find it in the extension index or just wait on Star replying...

etcbbu · Post by **etcbbu** » Mon Feb 28, 2011 6:44 pm

All right, that is cool. If I do not hear back from star for a while, I will check out Eddy's extension too.

Thanks BaconFries, I really do appreciate your posts with this.

etcbbu · Post by **etcbbu** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 7:06 pm

Darn! I tried out Eddy's menu (which I like a lot, too), and it does the same thing, in Internet Explorer sometimes!

http://www.ktravisj.com/fisheyeeddy.html

I will ask my question in Eddy's topic now, too.

Thanks!

Your menu works fine here in both IE8 32 and 64 bit. I believe it is the IE "compatibility view" option that is throwing you off.

etcbbu · Post by **etcbbu** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 11:01 pm

protectourlands:

Thank you for that input; would you happen to know offhand if that is an option that just really turned on or off, by default, on the casual IE user's browser? It it's an end-user issue, I can't really do much about it. I guess I might just put static images, side-by-side instead of the fish-eye or dock-menu. I really like the thing though.

I just want to be sure that all users see all those little images, first time, every time, they load the page, in every browser type, you know? Like, I don't want to assume the end-user will think, "This looks weird, I better refresh the page and see if that helps" because not everyone thinks to do that.

Try adding the meta tag into your web pages this will save users having to turn it on when they view your site <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

etcbbu · Post by **etcbbu** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 12:46 am

@BaconFries:

Would I put

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

In the "Start of Page" tab, in my "Page HTML" in WB?

(and also, I saw what you posted in the http://wysiwygwebbuilder.com/forum/view ... 58#p186358 topic, and have since responded to it as well; thanks.)

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 12:55 am

In Web Builder just open Page Properties>Meta Tags>User Defined and insert, this will place it in the correct place.....
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

etcbbu · Post by **etcbbu** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 1:26 am

Seems like a good idea, but:

Check the page in IE (http://ktravisj.com/contact.html ; don't forget, clear your cache, close your browser, and load it up one time, too). It seems like it's still doing it sometimes. And also, now, it's not loading the image and the shape-image that are supposed to be on the bottom right corner of the page! (Just click another page to see what I'm talking about)

protectourlands · Post by **protectourlands** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 8:10 am

Put it Between head tags. I'm curious to see if this works.

etcbbu · Post by **etcbbu** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 2:57 pm

@protectourlands:

Thank you for the suggestion--you mentioned you were interested to see if it worked, too; sorry that it looks like it's still doing the same thing. I just added that to the Between head area in "Page HTML". Check the page in IE (http://ktravisj.com/contact.html ; don't forget, clear your cache, close your browser, and load it up one time, too). It seems like it's still doing it. And then still, it's also not loading the image and the shape-image that are supposed to be on the bottom right corner of the page!
