Answer 1

Start with the machine detectable errors.

As an aside, don't comment out your scripts and stylesheets in XHTML (nice as it is to stop Netscape 2 from rendering them as text, it is counter productive in XHTML).

+1. netscape. you are showing your age.

"nice as it is to stop Netscape 2 from rendering them as text" - LOL. Those were the days. Those terrible, terrbile days. You have been in this game a long time, old man :)

for xhtml validators, it's still best to put them in a CDATA block. <script ...> // <![CDATA[ /*script here*/// ]]></script>

Answer 2

+4 A:

I just tried it in IE8, and the problem doesn't seem to be with your compressed javascript but with a script from adbrite.com. Most likely there are variable clashes or some other incompatibility with some of your other scripts. Try temporarily removing the adbrite script and see if it helps. Below are the full details of the error I'm getting.

Hope it helps.

Answer 3

+2 A:

I used fiddler with IE6 to see that ur js/picad.js file doesn't have any body at all which clearly means that your compression is messing up..

you can safely minify ur javascript and css using YUI Compressor from yahoo. as far as Gzipping the files please check ur compression code.

for showing a messge for IE uses you can place a hidden DIV(style='display:none') and show it using javascript if the browser is IE

i use this code to detect IE6

if (typeof document.body.style.maxHeight != "undefined") {
  // IE 7, mozilla, safari, opera 9
} else
{// ie6 code }

Pankaj Kumar 2010-02-16 09:21:23

I removed the picad javascript and it does help but still my left sidebar doesnt get completely displayed in the sidebar. Also all small external jscripts like who.among.us, the linkwithin widget and others dont work. and this is just in IE !!

dafactopedia 2010-02-16 09:47:13

Conditional comments would be a better way to show HTML content to IE only: ``

Paul D. Waite 2010-02-16 09:53:48

now everything loads up but this message pops up afer some time in IE8 'A script on the page is causing the browser to run slow ' and i am given a choice to terminate the script.. How can i identify this script ??

Answer 4

A:

I tried this issue in IE8 with the help of Javascript Debugger

The error seems to be in the line

if (!document.body) document.write('<body>');
   document.write("<iframe name='AdBriteFrame_f682da1f_3a94_45e8_8619_048f9b10b3be' width='160' height='600' frameborder='0' scrolling='no'>");
   document.write('</iframe>');
   document.writeln('<script type="text/javascript"><!--');
   document.writeln('AdBriteRender_f682da1f_3a94_45e8_8619_048f9b10b3be();')
   document.write('//--></script>');

Line

document.write("<iframe name='AdBriteFrame_f682da1f_3a94_45e8_8619_048f9b10b3be' width='160' height='600' frameborder='0' scrolling='no'>");

is throwing the error

Answer 5

+2 A:

For informing IE6 users that it's best to upgrade I use conditinal comments (the following div will only be shown in IE6):

<!--[if IE 6]>
    <div id="upgradebrowserwrapper">
        <div id="upgradebrowser">
            <b>$#upgradetitle;</b><br/><br/>
            $#upgrademessage;<br/><br/>
            <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/default.aspx"&gt;$#upgradelinkie;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
            <a href="http://www.firefox.com/"&gt;$#upgradelinkff;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
            <a href="http://www.apple.com/safari/"&gt;$#upgradelinksafari;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
            <a href="http://www.google.com/chrome"&gt;$#upgradelinkchrome;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
        </div>
    </div>
<![endif]-->

Assuming the site is not an internal tool, I would strongly advise against ignoring higher IE versions.

Jasper De Bruijn 2010-02-16 09:46:17

Thanks for help.. I have modified and implemented your code for all IE users.

Answer 6

A:

That page has a lot of errors going on!

The first one is a syntax error with this line. Your escaping of js in html is not working correctly

onclick="somewin=window.open(&amp;#39;http://www.changedetection.com/detect.html&amp;amp;#39;, &amp;#39;ChangeDetectionWiz&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=624,height=460&amp;#39;);somewin.focus();

I would create a function instead of trying to write code in html attributes, or you can review your html/js escape code that is messing up your string.
