Title: white screen
Post by: Jake58 on October 03, 2007, 09:25:51 PM: Howdy.

I had hfs installed and working before my server to a dive. I have it setup again but I use it without passwords.

When I go to hfs from the internet via my webserver link, like it was before, I get a white screen. If I hit refresh it will give me the correct screen.

I remember the first time I set it up the same thing happened but I don't remember how I fixed it.

Any clues?

John

Post by: jake58 on October 04, 2007, 05:25:25 AM: Duh! Sorry. I was actually looking for a file.

It say "requested GET /uploads/"

But I got the white screen. So I did a refresh and got the page.

Then I got a second "requested GET /uploads/"

I am calling it from a dearmweaver 8 created html file. In the link I have http://216.xx.xxx.xxx:81/uploads/

What template are you using?

can you check the allowed referer limit, it should be blank.
Menu > Limits > Allowed Referer

Im starting to run out of ideas...

Post by: jake58 on October 04, 2007, 06:41:55 AM: Using the standard template.

In looking at what you asked I have a very limited amount of stoff under other options. I had a lot more before.

I switched to expert mode and nthe limits allowed refer is blank.

Post by: jake58 on October 04, 2007, 06:58:43 AM: I just tried something and it worked fine every time! I used my ie browser address bar and it opened every time. So it must be the dreamweaver 8 coded webpage. It is the same http string though. can't image what it is. I hate quirky crap. I have noticed a few oddities about dreamweaver. Shouldn't be for the price they charge.

Post by: JAKE58 on October 04, 2007, 08:29:11 AM: Here is the code in the html file.

<a
href="HTTP://216.xx.xxx.xxx:81/uploads/" class="style41">Uploads</a>


Is there something about html and IE that requires ip address numbers to be treated different than domain names like www.xxx.com?

I tried the http://216.xx.xxx.xxx:81/uploads/ from the ie address bar on 3 computers and they all worked fine. But from the html code link I still get the white screen and the address bar still shows www.xxx.com. If I refresh it comes up ok and the address shows the http://216.xx.xxx.xxx:81/uploads/.

Could this be something lacking in the IE setup or java?

Thanks,

John

Have you tried it in a different browser? Where the results the same?

As a test remove the above code and replace it with this ->
<a href="http://216.xx.xxx.xxx:81/uploads/">Uploads</a>

Post by: jake58 on October 04, 2007, 06:15:37 PM: Late last night, or should I say this morning, I load firefox and it worked corectly too. So the problem is with IE.
Title: Re: white screen
Post by: jake58 on October 04, 2007, 07:17:12 PM: Nope, the code change didn't make any difference at all.
Title: Re: white screen
Post by: jake58 on October 04, 2007, 07:21:46 PM: There is something else that is strange. Everytime I post here and click submit. I get a IE program error and it wants to approve an eror report to send.

In other words I can do everything here to post until I hit submit and then IE gives me an error and as soon as I chose not to send an error report, IE closes completely.

Typical microsoft quality and compatibility.

Post by: Foggy on October 05, 2007, 03:51:03 AM: make firefox the default browser :P
Title: Re: white screen
Post by: jake58 on October 05, 2007, 06:04:47 AM: The problem with that is most people use IE. Also, my website pages are done in dreamweaver. It looks good in firefox but in IE it looks like crap. I have blue lines showing up in place I can't even edit out on the editor. Crazy stuff. I wish those bastards would do some compatibility checking. I have to look for a new editor now since dw8 isn't going to cut it. There is no reason for such inconsistencies between browsers.

The only thing I can think of is IE doesn't handle java well?

Post by: jake58 on October 05, 2007, 06:36:55 PM: Correction in above post. Meant to say website looks good in ie but looks like crap in firefox.

Post by: bacter on October 05, 2007, 09:16:19 PM: You started posting that you use the standard template.. later you say that the pages of your site are done in dreamweaver.

Does your site work ok with a standard template? (try a clean install after asving your work)

If your pages created with dreamwaver include some special functions for example style - filters, keep present that IE7 and firefox don't support the same functions and when, often not in the same way.

Post by: jake58 on October 06, 2007, 02:42:59 AM: I created a page with just the link to hfs and put it on the web server. Called it up and it acted the same as my server web page. It is apparntly nothing with the web page coding.

The default template doesn't contain any of that stuff. Run the default template. You can select it from the template editor. If it works ok the problem is with the template or html you are using.

Try to see where the problem is with some sistematic tests. Do first what Maverik says: run just the standard template, this does not use any java-script nor has special browser requirements.

If the standard template works, check the java-script sintax of your template. I have seen sometimes that smaller errors in firefox don't produce disastrous effects - all seems fine, but IE just shows a blank page!
