error on my site..help me!

[DJsexie]

This is referring to the following site:

http://fade.to/default

Well, whenever I go into my site using this URL there's always an error message in the status bar...

but if I go by this URL there's no error:

http://www.geocities.com/fadetodefault

Can anyone tell me why? please..:confused2 :confused2

[Weapon]

maybe the is a problem with the provide "fase.to":confused:

[Cyber]

probably fade.to's fault, better email 'em

[LeX]

Pretty strange, I don't think it's fade.to's problem... There seems to be no error with their ad page. (http://images.v3.com/popcloakjscript.htm)

[meow]

Well, the error says:

Line: 170
Column: 1
Error: Access denied
Code: 0
URL: http://www.geocities.com/fadetodefault/

Very funny since neither the redirect page or your page has 170 lines. The only thing that has is Yahoo. :confused2

I only get the error in IE btw.

[DJsexie]

I think the problem was cause when you know that Geocities always place an DHTML ad on every webpages, but after I use the redirection provided by V3, the ads disappeared, but there's an error on my page.......


I don't know how and why that happens.......:confused2 :confused2

[Dusty]

You get the error in Mozilla, too:
Error:
uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property Window.frames

[Weapon]

*sigh* 'nother dissing IE :o

[Theo]

yes. Thats because of the framed redirection. For some reason the geocities ad can not be displayed and it gives an error. I had a similar "problem" when i used to use geocities.

Use IE to view that page. Your version of NS seems that doesn't support i-frames. Its even worst when viewed with NS 4.08.

Get IE 6 !! its the best and Its free !! :)

[Jan]

No :p

I just happen to prefer Netscape and will continue to use it as 1000s of others still do! ;)

And my version is 4.73 :)

Have you tried IE 6?

Can you (and the rest of the people that like NS more) tell me why you prefer NS? Or what in IE you do not like?

[meow]

Theo...the browser wars are over. It isn't about IE or NS anymore. It's about standard compliant or not.

[Theo]

Exactly !! I mean I would undertand if people were using NS 2 or even 1 year ago.(3 years ago I was using Ns too) But now as you said the war is over and IE is the clear winner ... right?

So the questions remains: why would anyone still use NS?

[meow]

At last we agree! ;) I think people use NS4x out of habit. We'll have to ask Jan.
But why do you say the alternative is IE6? What's wrong with NS6 and especially with Mozilla? Or Opera?

[Theo]

I am not a MS supporter or anything. The only reason I prefer IE 6 is that it always works right and it never gave me any problems.

I have NS 6.2, it seemed to be nice looking, but just minutes after I install it I found out that it had a bug and it wouldn't display some flash movies properly.

I never used Opera. I've heared its good, but why use something that has ads while i can have IE 6 that works perfectly and without ads?

So NS 6 and Opera might be good, but IE 6 is better. And since they are all free, why not use the best one?

[Theo]

Ok, I must admit that there are 2 things i like in NS 6.2, but are not enough to cover the bugs.

1) that it tells me how long it took for the document to download.
2) that there is no right scrollbar if its not needed.

[meow]

Don't know about the Flash bug (Flash isn't a standard :D) but I don't think there is any doubt about that Moz is, at the moment, the most standard compliant browser.

I use IE5 75% of the time myself out of habit and because I don't want to install 6 on this system. But I expect to be using Moz and especially K-Meleon more and more. Basically I'm just happy that browsers are at last playing along even if I find most of them bloated, but that's another thing. :p

[Dusty]

It's about standard compliant or not.
Exactly !!I get the feeling you've deluded yourself into thinking IE complies to any standards whatsoever.

I don't know why people cling onto 4.x, though. I guess they're just used to it and're reluctant to change. I was like that when 4.0 came out. I was a long time in coming around, I didn't want to give up my 3.(whatever it was). Also, Netscape 6.0 left a bad taste in everyone's mouth, it was released far to early. 6.1 corrected almost every bug that 6.0 had and 6.2 went even further, but it was too late for some people who had resigned themselves to never using the 6 line after 6.0 came out.

The browsers wars were a charade, they didn't and don't mean anything, it was just publicity. The entire world is not going to switch to IE because "everybody else is doing it".

[Theo]

Dusty, you quoted the wrong things ... the quotes should be more like this:


the browser wars are over


Exactly !!

I am not saying that everybody should use IE because "everybody else is doing it". I am saying they should use it because is better and has less bugs.

Personally I would have no problem to use NS if they fix those bugs, since as i mentioned above there are things that i like in it. But the bug that NS has with loading external movies in Flash is quite serious for somebody that does Flash.

[Dusty]

Dusty, you quoted the wrong things"It's about standard compliant or not" was Meow's last line, if you were replying to something he said earlier you should have quoted it.
I am saying they should use [IE] because [it] is betterBetter? In any particular way or just better? I guess I'm just asking for a little explanation why you think it's better.
But the bug that NS has with loading external movies in Flash is quite serious for somebody that does Flash.Bugs. Netscape (or at least Mozilla) acknowledges that it has bugs and it does correct them. IE has bugs too, though they seem a bit more reluctant to call them that. I'm not big on Flash, so I can't say much about it, but what makes you think that its entirely Netscape's fault?

[Theo]

about the quotes, i though it was clear what i meant .. sorry if I was not.

What I mean with better is less bugy. Probably IE has bugs too, but I never run on one of its bugs that will couse me a problem(and I use IE for years).
The opposite happened with NS 6.2 that i found a bug the first 10 minutes i tried it.

Also, on my computer IE loads in half time than NS

And a question a bit out of topic (actually we are out of topic long time now)
How can the speed of an animated gif be affected by the browser?

take a look at this with IE6 and then with NS 6.2:
http://www.designous.com/car.gif
On my computer it seems that with NS the gif runs like crazy.
Any explanation for that? (its not my gif)

[Dusty]

The opposite happened with NS 6.2 that i found a bug the first 10 minutes i tried it.Just a guess, when you first opened Netscape, were you looking for a bug? When you use IE, are you constantly on the lookout for errors? You spot a lot more when you're looking for it. Also (right now I'm referring to the image problem you also spoke of), what are you basing "correct functioning" on? Just because it works differently in Netscape doesn't mean it's its bug, it could be you're used to seeing it wrong in IE and now that you're seeing it right you don't know what to think. Mozilla runs a service called Bugzilla that documents known bugs in the Mozilla browser (which is what Netscape 6.x is based on).
Also, on my computer IE loads in half time than NSBecause it's preloaded with the OS. You can speed up Netscape's load time by enabling Quick Launch in the advanced section of the preferences.
Any explanation for that?It's frame delay is set to 1/100th of a second, that's how fast it should run. If IE is showing it slower then that's an error or IE's part.

[meow]

Just curious again. Why do you bother with the extra bloat of NS when you don't even like it? Why don't you use Moz? (Or K-Meleon *hint* *hint* :D)

About the bugs you see - are you sure they are NS bugs? I'm not saying it doesn't have any, but we are so used to IEs permanent bugs that it's easy to think something is broken when it displays right.
Besides, NS is in Beta, even if they prefer to not call it that. How could it be more advanced than the engine it's built on?

Loading time - sure. Since the bulk of IE loads with windows even on my old Win95, sure it starts faster. It also slows every other app down, ALL THE TIME, even when it isn't used.

[Theo]

No, when i first got netscape 6.2 i wasn't looking for bugs. I just tried to view some of my websites. And thats when i found out that something wasn't working with one of my Flash sites. I went to Flash kit forums and I found out it was a known bug of NS.

Meow, I got NS 6.2 as well as NS 4.08 to test my sites for compatibility. I've never heard of this K-Meleon before, but I went to their site and they say its still a beta.

Anyways ..
Do you guys worry about how your sites appear in AOL also?

[meow]

Sorry, what I meant was that NS uses the Mozilla rendering engine. They are the same.

K-Meleon is a slimmed Moz - same engine again, interface and non browser features taken off. Yes it's Beta. So is Moz. That NS is built on. Get my drift? :p
