Menu Bar Disappearing

[talkingplant]

OK, I've been racking my brain trying to figure this out for weeks. When you type my site into the address bar on some machines my header/menu bar doesn't appear. If you type in the site with a .com/ it works.

Any ideas?

I don't have this problem on my home machine, but at work and some friends' houses it happens.

I've found that if you dump the cache during reload (shift while reload click) it usually clears itself up.

Thanks for any input.

Hi,

 

It works on mine!

 

XP/IE 6.X Patched

 

What browsers does it not work on? Try taking out the /> bit and just using a normal > I know its the best way but that might be it

At work its a weird selection of 5.x IE give or take, the guys are slow to update em. Have had the prob with netscape too though, but I'm not sure what version she was using.

Odd.

 

Do you call the menu in via an include or is it attached to some javascript in any way?

I'm using Mozilla Firebird on Win98. Both links look exactly the same.

It's just in the body for now like this:

><img name="concreteutopiaheader" src="images/concreteutopiaheader.jpg" width="700" height="145" border="0" id="concreteutopiaheader" usemap="#m_concreteutopiaheader" alt="" />
<map name="m_concreteutopiaheader" id="m_concreteutopiaheader">

Hi,

 

Intrestingly, it shouldn't be a problem. However XHMTL might fall apart on lower browsers.

 

Best thing to do is to do a few test pages, one in normal HTML, one in normal HTML and without CSS.

 

It could just be a corruption in there browser too.

 

If you can find a machine on that it faults all the time, access the computer and make it fail, then open up your cpanel and take a look at the error log and see what it says
