Can you figure out why IE sucks for my site?

Hey guys, theres a problem on my site fancytuning dot com...

I can't figure out why, in the right sidebar, under fancytuning picks, when you click the 'recent comments' or 'recent articles' it jumps to the top of the page...It only does this in IE..don't get why..please help, I'll send you $5 paypal if you want..

Thanks, Greg

 

Anything below $5 USD is supposed to be at "Cheap Stuff" section of "BST"

Besides, mention which IE version. I don't see any thing wrong. A screencap would be helpful.

 

IE sucks on everybody's web site. Don't feel alone. It's expected and the norm.

 

some people (minor) using IE out there...
so it's good, if we develope site that compatible to all browser

 

It is because your link tells IE to jump to the top. Look at the all of your tabbed links href part (#top);

<a onclick="ShowTab(0)" id="tab0" href="#top">Recent Articles</a>

Code (markup):

Change the link href for all tabs to just a single # sign:

<a onclick="ShowTab(0)" id="tab0" href="#">Recent Articles</a>

Code (markup):

I am not sure if this will break your javascript for the tab control. If it does then that will have to be revised to account for change also.

 

Also, JavaScript running off a link is likely to send the browser jumping to the top of the page, unless you instruct it not to via return false...

<li class="TabLink"><a href="#" id="tab0" onclick="ShowTab(0)[color=blue];return false[/color]">Recent Articles</a></li>

Code (markup):

 

Another way to fix the problem:

<li class="TabLink"><a href="javascript:ShowTab(0)" id="tab0">Recent Articles</a></li>

Code (markup):

Hope it helps.

 

That doesn't mean IE sucks any less.

 

Doesn't mean IE sucks less, but as it is one of the most widely used browsers for some strange reason. It has to be accounted for and has to look right up to IE7 IMO. Which to be honest isn't too bad, considering its predecessor!

 

It comes pre-installed on Windows

 

Why do the above two people think that, just because I said IE sucks, it means I think people shouldn't make their sites work in IE? I mean, I find that everywhere and it makes me wonder about the type of person who posts that. What's the point? It has nothing to do with what I said and nothing to do with the question yet they read things into my statement that aren't there.

 

I was speaking less literally, more in terms of people still seem to be unaware of alternatives.

Though it is true, it does come installed on Windows, Safari on Macs and Firefox on Ubuntu.

 

I was just saying it so that people didn't misunderstand what you were saying. From your footer links I see you refer more to the technical side. Just in the part where you said "It's expected and the norm." it makes it look like nobody tried to make IE look good.

 

What I mean by that is it's expected and normal for IE to not render pages correctly compared to any other browser. IE, as you know, is inept at best at almost everything on the web.

 

em also having the same problem but i think there are very less people which use IE.most of the people use google chrome,mozilla firefox or opera

 

Great to see the counter is rolling.

 

IE does not follow web standards the way other browsers do.

The reason it is jumping to the top of the page is that your javascript is telling the browser to go to "#top" which is the top of the page. You need to add return false within the tab switching function.

 

lol. Got to stay on top of things.

 

There are lot of issues with IE . If you are web developer I suggest you to collect some details related to various IE issues into one place and refer when u need them . I have got lot of details collected , I need to organized them before posting here . I will post those issues here when i get a chance

 

Thanks for the help! I'll see if I can get it to work..appreciate all the quick responses
