When I built and opened the website using internet explorer, there are always problems on adding new pages and some other functions. Moreover,  there were error warnings in the left bottom of the IE browser. However, when i use firefox, all the problems are gone..it's functional in the firefox. I am worrying after i move the website to the webserver.. the visitors also get this problem

I would like to know why such problems occur.

Thank you

Hello,

Which DNN version are you using?

Have you created your own skin?

Do these problems occur when using the DNN-Blue skin?

Which version of IE are you using?

You should not have problems in IE, especially with the function buttons. If you can provide further info we may be able to help,

Thanks,

The problems exist after I have created a skin for my website.

My version of IE 6.0.

And no problems if use default skin.

But I wonder how the skin can affect that.

 

Thank you.

Hello,

It must be a coding problem in your skin. Have you checked out the video tutorials on here?

These are the main skinning tutorials:
  Issue no 12
  Issue no 11
  Issue no 10
  Issue no 9
  Issue no 8
  Issue no 7
  Issue no 5 & 6

If you wish email me you skin zip file and I will have a quick look

But if the skin code has problem, I would like to know why the website can run on Firefox without problems?

Thank you

Hello,

I don't know without looking at the code. If the DNN-Blue skin works ok in both browsers it suggests there must be something in your skin code that is causing the problem.

If I get a skinning problem like this I strip out most of the code until it is a bare minimum, ie. just a content pane and menu, and then add elements in one at a time until the problem shows up. - Once I have found the problem area of code I can then look at another solution for the code.

Thanks,

Hello,

Thanks for sending the skin. Your problem is in the .ascx file.

You have added form tags to your skin. You can not do this in a DNN skin as DNN already has form tags around the actual skin, so you can't have a form within a form. - Have a look at the source code of a DNN site and you will be able to see the form tags.

Someone else had a similar problem where they wanted to collect data and store it in an SQL database and was offered this solution:

So, first of all I would remove the form and see if that fixes the problem.

If you still have problems I would remove the Javascript menus just to see if they are causing any problems.

Also, on your bottom table, you have set an id of bottomtext - you can only specify an id once in a skin. If you wish to have multiple calls use a class, so just put class="bottomtext" and then in your skin css have:

.bottomtext

This should get you started, you can pick up errors using visual web developer express (free) and select view error list.

Thank you very much for your help. I am really appreciated for your effort on helping me to locate the error. Thanks!

no problem, happy skinning!

Cheers,
