HI. DID A TUTORIAL FROM JEFF DURRUM ON HTTP://WWW.BLINDGEEKS.ORG AND FOR SOME STRANGE REASON. INTERNET EXPLORER 8. DOES NOT SHOW ME THE RESULTS OF A PAGE. WRITING A JAVASCRIPT APPLICATION. A SHOPPING CART. WHERE YOU SELECT ITEMS AND PRCIES IN A DROP DOWN COMBO BOX, AND THEN ENTER A QUANTITY IN A EDIT BOX. THEN CLICK THE ADD TO SHOPPING CART BUTTON. A MESSAGE POPS UP SAYING THE ITEM WAS ADDED. THEN YOU CLICK ON THE VIEW SHOPPING CART. WHICH TAKES YOU TO A PAGE, AND SHOW YOU THE TOTAL PRICES , TAXES, AND TOTALS OF THE ITEMS PURCHASED. THEN YOU HAVE A COMPLETE YOUR SHOPPING CART BUTTON, WHICH CLEARS OUT ALL YOUR TOTALS. AND PRESENTS YOU WITH A MESSAGE. TO CHECK OUT OR YOUR ITEMS ARE COMPLETE. BUT IT IS NOT WORKING IN INTERNET EXPLORER 8. SO DO I UNINSTALL, TRY REINSTALLING. WAS WORKING LAST WEEK, BUT NOT NOW. WORKS IN FIREFOX. ANY IDEAS. TRIED SETTING THE PRIVACY TO 40 % AND TRIED SETTING THE SECURITY OPTIONS AND ALLOWING ACTIVE EX CONTENT. BUT DID NOT STILL WORK. SO ANY IDEAS, OTHER PROGRAMS, ACTIVE EX I COULD INSTALL.

As to your actual problem, try using IE8s JavaScript debugger to work out the actual error. Don't use ActiveX, you'll regret it later on. We might be able to give you more assistance if we knew the actual site, or had the code that was causing this. - Josh *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
[WSG] internet explorer 8 problems
hi.
okay so how do i use the java se debugger.
and yes i am blind and using jaws for windows from
http://www.freedomscientific.com
so not offended.
should have made that known.
sorry about that.
okay will be pasting the code for the java script and the html files.
as i do not have a actual site.
and just on my local hard disk.
sorry.
thank you.
marvin.
ps: so here the code below.
function setCookie(cName,value,expires)
{
var exDate=new Date();
exDate.setMinutes(exDate.getMinutes()+expires);

cookie's value.

this must be the last entry. */

/* Set the return value to the cookie entry's data. */
}
}
return cValue;
}
function isNumeric(strText)
{
var validChars = 0123456789; // the string of acceptible
characters
var curChar; // This is used to store the character currently
being processed.
var isANumber = true; /* The function returns true if the string
is numeric, otherwise it returns false. */

the function. */

set to false and we exit the loop early. */

ith position in the string. */

Re: [WSG] internet explorer 8 problems using a screen reader
Your table is missing its opening tag, table, which is *probably* causing your problems. There are also some other markup errors. Please, always validate[1] your web pages before posting questions. - James [1]: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://startrekcafe.alacorncomputer.com/charset=(detect+automatically)doctype=Inlinegroup=0 -- James Ducker Web Developer http://studioj.net.au *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
[WSG] internet explorer 8 problems
hi. will post the message below. think my problems on the student web project i did. and when i removed the ../ with just for example a href=styles/Joes_Style.css. just reverts back to times new roman. so wondering if this is a internet explorer problem for version 8. so wondering to uninstall it and go back to 7. cheers Marvin. ps: still not recongizing my tables. as a blind web site designer and relying on a screen reader jaws for windows 10. using windows vista. cheers Marvin. hi. well took out the ../ for the styles and the java script. now just telling me times new roman. and still not displaying the table. so wondering if a internet explorer 8 problem. might have to uninstall internet explorer 8. unless there is a patch, update, or some tool. i know in internet explorer 8, you can run it in compability mode, except not on a local file. this one is giving me a headache. if it does not resolve say in the next 48 hours, then will just go and uninstall. tried looking at a few other web projects and get the same problem. either saying not the font name or saying times new roman. got windows vista home premium sp 2, jaws 10.0.154. and using internet explorer 8 full version. so if i have fixed the src reference. and looking at my other projects same problem. so it could be a internet explorer 8 problem. this is really annoying me. cheers Marvin.

RE: [WSG] internet explorer 8 problems
Marvin, Have you been able to confirm whether this is actually a problem with the display of your page, or a problem with the way that Jaws is interacting with IE ? It might be that the font _is_ Times, but Jaws is mis-leading you. Not too sure what else you would be able to 'see', but have you been able to prove that IE is seeing your stylesheet at all. For me, I would slap a garish border or background colour onto some random element, but I appreciate that you can't do that on your own.
