Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Links in tables don't work in IE6 or IE7

Hi,

I just had it pointed out today that links in a table on the front page do not work when using IE6 or 7 - I am using Firefox and Safari and they work fine in those.

The table was originally done with wp-table reloaded but after the IE problems were pointed out I tried doing it directly with the <table> tabs in the html, and it still doesn't work with IE.

Any ideas on this one? Thanks.

What version of Atahualpa and WP?
What is the URL showing the issue?

Hi there,

WP 2.9.1
Atahualpa 3.4.4

the site is Pine Furniture Online

I have both tables on at present (they are both identiacl in apperance) - the top one is with wp-table reloaded and the bottom with the <table> tags. The pictures in the table should click on - they do in Safari and Firefox but not in IE6 or 7.

Thanks.

It's got to have with the structure of the link. Your link is
HTML Code:
<a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=1829&awinaffid=98093&clickref=pinesolutions&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinesolutions.co.uk%2Facatalog%2Fsingle_bed_white.html" onmouseover="self.status='http://www.pinesolutions.co.uk/acatalog/single_bed_white.html'; return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''; return true;" target="_top">
and when you hover over the image you see

Code:
http://www.pinesolutions.co.uk/acatalog/single_bed_white.html
while in safari I see

Code:
http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=1829&awinaffid=98093&clickref=pinesolutions&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinesolutions.co.uk%2Facatalog%2Fsingle_bed_white.html
I would say that IE is looking at this link and choking on it - BTW IE8 doesn't work eithor

Hi,

thanks for that but the links, although long, work elsewhere with IE, it's just in the tables that they don't.

Someone suggested it may be to do with the divs in the tables - I didn't put any in, perhaps they have been added as the images have been pulled in?

I also can't see the same result with the mouse hovering.

Thanks for looking, if you have any other ideas I'd appreciate it. If I can't get the IE links to work I'll have to swap themes over to something else which would be a shame.

cheers,

Bob

It has nothing to do with Atahualpa, Wordpres, div's tables - IE does not like the way the link is formed. To prove this point, I stripped out everything but one link. This code works fine in atahualpa and will not link in IE

HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-US">
<head>
<title>Pine Furniture Online</title>

</head>
<body class="home page page-id-17">

<a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=1829&amp;awinaffid=98093&amp;clickref=pinesolutions&amp;p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinesolutions.co.uk%2Facatalog%2Fsingle_bed_white.html" onmouseover="self.status='http://www.pinesolutions.co.uk/acatalog/single_bed_white.html'; return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''; return true;" target="_top"><div id="attachment_57" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 232px"><img src="http://pinefurnitureonline.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/provence_jan_25.jpg" alt="Pine Solutions Provence Single Bed" title="provence_jan_25" width="222" height="212" class="size-full wp-image-57" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pine Solutions Provence Single Bed</p></div></a>

</body>
</html>
you need to talk whoever is generating that code.
