Ok I found the problem...

[Runecaster]

For some reason MSIE is not letting the nested iFrame galleries change pages. They just reload page #1 no matter what page # you hit.


However, in MSIE, if you click on 'open in new window' then it works perfectly and you can navigate just fine.

In Firefox I do not have this problem at all and everything works as it should.


So, what in the blueblazes do I do?

I'm kind of confused. Only seeing 1 iFrame in the source.

Only idea is try adding the target attribute to your links, such as:

<a href="?categoria=photography&pag=3&name=Photography" target="photos_images">

Not sure if that will work. Other than that, I'm not sure. Just put an explanation why ieplorer shouldn't be used and how it is out of date.

[Runecaster]

I don't think I can manipulate each page link individually -- it's done in PHP and it's pulled from a MySQL database...

And that is as far as I can go, since the rest is really greek to me.

Any help out there?

how are u setting up ur links to the iframe?

if youve got the link like goldnet showed, the its best to put the filename before the varibles are carried,

/filename.php?this=that&that=this

but as far as goldnet has said, you will need to add a target attribute into the href because that will tell the browser where its gonna load it...

how have u coded your php doc and whats coming out of the DB?

[GoldNetX]

Yeah, if you could possibly post the php code along with a mysql database dump then it would be easier to figure out.

[Runecaster]

Ok but you do realize that it works perfectly fine in Firefox and Opera type browsers... so I am not certain it is a code problem at all.

It could just be MSIE being a little outdated...

[GoldNetX]

What it may be is that Mozilla and Opera are able to find the target without it being defined, while IE needs it. So adding it anyway may help.

[Runecaster]

Read my posts! I did define the target!! Unless something /else/ needs to be done besides doing it in the dropdown menu on properties in Dreamweaver... I can't imagine what else could be added...

Can we have a look at the code? (sorry if that's a bit cheeky!!)

We can help to debug!

[Runecaster]

Yeah but which file do you need? gallery.php or something else?

Whatever the MySQL thingy is you asked for, I have NO idea how to do that...

can i have the file thats calling the file thats gonna load in the iframe (so basically the parent frame file...)
please?

oh and what's the site url so i can just see wots up in detail...

[Runecaster]

Photos Page

That is the link. I am not at the computer that has the files, I can't get to em yet.

Oh i can see why you say IE is out dated, cos it is!

Ive looked at the code, and nothings wrong with it!

I tested the page in IE (for mac tho) and it works fine!

One thing you may want to add to the image maps to stop IE and other browsers putting a border around the image link in the menu when its selected:

onFocus="this.blur()"

this tells the browser not to focus in on the selected item so that those stupid borders dont show and dont mess up the whole site impact!

As well as that, it try to use a more IE friendly layout (i no everyone hates IE, i use firefox) but the majority of people are still on IE and when they come to the site and see things diff! Get what i mean?

Oh before i forget, allowtransparency="true" never works on IE!! be careful!

But back to the gallery, if it still doesnt want to work, you might want to try opening it in a new window. Or slicing up your menu instead of using image maps because that is then true href links, get what i mean?

all the best!

hmm, interesting problem, I will have to read up on what is wrong in the first place (didn't get the problem in this thread).. and see what I can do.
