I was checking all my work in FF3 IE6/7 as I made changes, then I got carried away with something and forgot to check how things were going in IE6, now it seems that 50% of the input buttons are frozen in 1E6 but all are working in IE7 and FF3. It's quite dificult to go back through everything so I was wondering if someone could give me some tips as to what to be looking for as I am a beginner.

I thought it may have something to do with permissions??

Code: Select all

<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Continue"/>

Anyone understand this post? Any ideas?

So for example the 'create an account' 'reveiws' 'continue shopping' 'checkout' buttons are not working but  'add to cart' 'login' are working.

It seems obvious...  ;) but the thing about stuff being broken after changes is that it was most likely the changes that are causing the problem. File permissions are unlikely to have changed because you edit a file.

You could try making a backup copy of the template files that do not work and replace them with the originals. If that makes them work, use something like winmerge to compare the before and after and make simple changes to the (now original) file until it breaks. Then you will know exactly where to focus your attention.

If you are working on a publicly visible site, post the url and we can have a look and perhaps make a suggestion or two.

cheers

Thanks Bruce

Yes as soon as I noticed I undid as many changes as possible without any luck.

Yes I will try the back up.

I do have a live site, is there a way of hiding the url from Search Engines?

Yes, put a text file called robots.txt in the root of your website.

If your store is in the root of your website and robots.txt contains the following...

Code: Select all

User-agent: *
Disallow: / 
and it should block all spiders from all areas in the root of the store and below. In other words, everywhere.

If your store is in a sub-folder (say mystore) then robots.txt should still be in the root of the website but contain

Code: Select all

User-agent: *
Disallow: /mystore/ 
and it should block all spiders from only the web store and below.

A good discussion of this topic can be found here.

Thanks for that, but what I meant was, can I post my url here so that it does not show up in G search results.

Thank you Thank you

So I think the problem occurred after making some code changes following this guide: http://forum.opencart.com/index.php/top ... l#msg12935 not saying there is anything wrong with the guide of course, but that's where my tired head can think back to. Well I have been able to restore the  code back to original state but the problem is still there.

considering the author of that guide... im surprised it works at all  ;D  :D  :P

Aside from having problems with that guide, did it work for you? or did you back out the changes?

I did not have any problems with the guide and yes it did work.

I am still not sure if this IE6 issue is to do with the guide.

I haven't heard back from Bruce yet can I send you the url?

I just did a fresh install of Version 0.7.9, tried to do a new customer login, but as before the input button 'continue' does not work?

So I am running Multiple version of IE6 on my computer http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE

Has anyone else had the same experience?

Ok, I tried it with IE6 and found that everything works just fine...

well... except for the layout which has the content pushed down below the bottom of the information.

I would suggest that if you want to test different versions of IE then you should set up a machine with only IE6 and another with only IE7. These machines could be set up on VMWare for example on one physical machine.

Well that's good to hear, but I have no means of setting up another machine now, So I would need another computer that would then run Ie6/7?

I don't have IE6 to test with. I have portable IE6 but it doesn't work on Vista so I can't really test
If you can just tell me what you see, maybe we can figure it out without looking at it.

Is the button disabled? Does the button click but go nowhere?

Bruce's check means the problem seems solved  :)

Can you tell me where to down load portable IE6?
