Disabled Pop Up Image

October 14th, 2008

I had to disable the pop up images on the main page as they were messing with Internet Explorer. Every time you tried to access the main page you got an error saying that Internet Explorer could not open the page. Even though it clearly opened in the background. I am not sure why that happened as it works fine in the Gallery section and also in Firefox, Opera etc.

I think there is a patch out there to fix IE but I can’t really expect everyone to install that just to view my site. So I’ve disabled pop up images. Which is a pity because I really liked them. Ah well, maybe if I can spend a little time looking into it I might find a workaround.

Anyway to all you IE users, welcome back (and use Firefox!) :) Sorry it took so long for me to discover that there was a problem but I use Linux.

After a little looking around I found a Microsoft IE Bug explaining the issue. It looks like it’s an issue with putting the Java script in a Div container.Unfortunately I use them to display entries (such as this one) so that’s not easy to workaround.
