HELP: Javascript problem in IE

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 30.2008

Hi guys,

I have a problem and I believe it has to do with Internet Explorer reading my Javascript.

The following is a link to my website. Try loading it in a web browser that isn’t IE and the content in the right hand side div loads up fine, however when in IE there is no content displayed at all.

[url]http://www.pcassembly.vectorwebdesign.co.uk/[/url]

The content will change when you click over a component on the motherboard (well apart from when in IE)

Does anyone know 1) Why this is only a IE problem, and 2) How/If there is a way to solve it?

Thanks for any feedback, it’s much appreciated.

@gomisuteApr 30.2008 — your flash is not put in the html page correctly for I.E.

@jinmis85authorApr 30.2008 — Thanks for the help, but unfortunately that did not work.

I doubt it is a problem with the code as the Flash animation does load into IE, however the text that is supposed to be called from the Javascript file will not appear on the right. Furthermore the Flash has a script like....

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

temp = ExternalInterface.call("motherboard");

which should call the Javascript function.

It works in all other browsers!?!?!?!?!? Anyone have any other suggestions?

@gomisuteMay 01.2008 — Well, I see that you meant the RIGHT side...

I'm not sure how you are calling your js functions...

but notice the not even your flash is showing up on IE...

hence, the solution I posted...

put that in to fix your flash to show up for IE first...

then if you're calling your js from within your flash, and I think you are, then look into fixing your flash action script code...

I have no clue about flash, so I can't help you out too much more.

Success!
