Errors in Apple Safari!

[technica]

Any thoughts...? :)

That doesn't appear to be a JS error. It looks to me like it's just a 404 error. Look at the title of the generated page.

I see what I think the problem(s) is/are. First of all, you're using a hell of a lot of %20s (spaces) in your filenames. That's a no-no. Those should all be underscores or something else, but never spaces.

Secondly, that form at the bottom doesn't seem to actually be part of a form, it's part of a link. That's a pretty odd way of handling things. Instead of what you have now, maybe try wrapping the whole thing in a form and putting the javascript call in onChange on the <select> (which is how Firebird/Safari are interpreting it now already).

Unrelated, you have the same Macromedia image-swapping functions repeated twice in your source code. I'm surprised this doesn't cause problems.

Yes, I know it is weird about the rollover. However, through all my testing, there have been no problems...
Ok, so I will change all the file names, and hopefully then it will work. My only problem with that is when you try and directly access a name with a screwed up name, it works:

Going to there on Safari has no problem... do you still thing the filenames are the issue for the form?
Thanks for helping!

[spice]

No, I think the real issue is contain the select list inside a link the way you have, which is a method I don't think I've ever seen before. But, just the same, it's asking for trouble eventually having your files named like that. If you are going to change them, make sure to update your links.

Is the website issue being resolved. I didn't get any errors with my IE6 ???

[technica]

Hi Larry.
The form doesn't seem to have any problems in IE... only in Safari
Thanks for helping...

Technica,

Any time you use any kind of scripting in your navigation it is a good idea to repeat your main navigation links in plain text (ususally at the bottom of the page). There are few javascripts which work (well) in ALL browsers and while redundancy may be boring it does ensure that every visitor will be able to see what you want him to see.

Btw...I'm on a PC and IE at the moment and there are no rollovers (?)

Good luck!

Exactly what rollover do you mean?
The only rollover we have is in our logo.
The problem right now is with the form at the bottom of the mention pages.
thanks for helping!

[gawdproductions]

Sorry-I saw rollovers mentioned above, guess I should read more closely!:)

In any case...I'd provide main category links in plain text, at least until the safari issue has been resolved.

I don't believe I've ever seen a form using java that way. Looks like you could achieve the same thing without it. After all, its just clicking a link from the list. I'd remove the java code and just make the items clickable to the page. That would fix your problem. Why are you using java to do this in the first place?

Happy coding,

If I totally took out the Java, how would I achieve the scroll bar affect?
Maybe if you could just give me the code...
I wanted a button to link to the reviews, thats what I didn't just put the reviews in a list with hyperlinks.

[alienzhavelanded]

This kind of list can easily be made as an HTML form. Are you saying you can't do that, yet you can create it in java?

Happy coding,
The Martian

[technica]

Actually, yes, that is the case. Can you tell me how to do this?
Thanks... ;)

Hello technica

This issue could come from the links names. Many spaces, some ':' or ',' etc... Such an adress could be seen as "illegal" with anything else than the pair IE + PC, because IE on a PC "escapes" the URL. IE on a Mac (and probably Safari dito) doesn't.

You could try to use the "escape" javascript function to transcode your links, within the "window.location.href=..." line :

---------------------
function go_review_menu() {

choice = document.gamereviews.review_id.selectedIndex;

if ( document.gamereviews.review_id[choice].value!= "")
window.location.href = escape(document.gamereviews.review_id[choice].value);
}
---------------------

Thanks for the help.
I might go with the HTML form choice... anybody know how this would be done?
