Re: My browser shuts down when attempting to view my website



Hi Blue~

I, too, have Dreamweaver. I attended a class and it blew my mind.
Publisher does seem to be so much easier. I may have to just bite the
bullet and do the switch. My boss has been getting numerous calls saying our
site is not user friendly and I must do "something" soon. I put in the plug
to upgrade to IE7 at the top of my web page so viewers can read it as it
crashes in IE6. Now I have computer techs criticizing me for advertising
IE7 as it has some bugs. I can't seem to win here. I guess I still don't
understand why my website worked in IE6 before I made the ISP switch to
another provider. Also, my second website works fine on either IE6 or IE7.
My current provider doesn't think that it a problem caused by them. They
think it is in the coding, causing the crashes. I just need a temporary fix
until I have time to recreate the website in Dreamweaver (which will not be a
quick task). I also have some people recommending Front Page vs
Dreamweaver. What ever I do next, I don't want to be sorry. Any words of
advice?

Hi,

As you'll all recall, I was having trouble with this as well some weeks
back. Everything IEv6 or lower was crashing the browser. I upgraded one of
the PCs that was experiencing problems with IE7, and the problem was solved.
This isn't really a solution, as you'll still have many people hitting the
site with v6 or lower. What I've done to combat this issue is list that the
site's best viewed with Firefox or Netscape in my advertisement for the
business (the Publisher site works flawlessly with those two other browsers).
I just don't have time to switch over to an Windows platform on my server,
and see if the switch from unix to windows solves the problem I was seeing on
IEv.6. I'm just going to hang in there until more PCs are ugraded to
IE7...and sit it out.

It seems that Publisher sites are very hit-and-miss with IEv6 and lower,
once you've installed 7 on your machine (specifically, the machine that you
use to build and upload the site).

It's a frustration. However, although I do have Dreamweaver...I can't seem
to leave Publisher! (even though I should) Grrrrr....

This is a rarely occurring problem that no one has solved definitively. Your
comment about IE7 fixing the issue is contrary to another poster a few weeks
back.

One of the potential reasons for this is hosting the site on a unix server
vs. a windows platform. Did you switch to unix?

IE explorer shuts down every time I attempt to view my website
www.cityofsidney.org I installed the IE 7.0 as per our current ISP
which
fixed my problem and I now can view the website, although it does not help
other viewers if they are still using the older version. I recently
switched ISP's and had no problems with the previous ISP when using the
older version of IE. Please advise.
