problems with IE browser not displaying 'column left' on lowest subcategory

Hi,

My new site appears to be working ok in all browsers except IE.

 

I have tried to find a solution but unable to find one in the search(except to set search engine safe urls to false)
Hope someone can help.

 

When I navigate down to the lowest subcategory the column left does not display.

When I view the source it appears to be there and looks the same/similar to the other level pages source code.

 

thebakehousegallery dot com

 

(Use Search-Engine Safe URLs now set to false - when this was set to true I was not getting any images and the layout was all over and corrupt looking - except the top page which looked fine)

 

Thanks,

 

Andy

Your site code is a mess. You have two sets of head and body tags where only one is allowed. Your cookies message appears to be the source of one of these, so removing that might solve the problem.

 

Use View Source in Firefox and look for all of the red tags. Those are the improper tags that you need to remove. There will probably be more showing up when you get those fixed, so check again until you get it all.

 

Never set Use Search-Engine Safe URLs to false unless you also have force cookies set to true. Understand that you will lose customers with those settings.

Hi Jim,

You were correct and i have removed the bit of code for the cookiechoices and favicon setup.

I do not have access to firefox at the moment but the website now appears to be ok with search engine safe urls also back to 'True'.

I attempted to get these bits of code in the 'body' of my code incorrectly and all worked on other browsers except IE.

I would like to get both bits back in if I can.

Can you suggest where best to place the following bit of code:

 

<script src="/cookiechoices.js"></script>

<script>

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(event) {

cookieChoices.showCookieConsentBar('Cookies help us deliver our services. By using our services, you agree to our use of cookies',

'close message', 'learn more', 'http://thebakehousegallery.com/privacy.php');

});

</script>

 

Thanks again for your time and help,

Andy

Anywhere in the body should be fine. I would try pasting that in includes/template_bottom.php, just before the </body> tag. If that does not work, try in includes/template_top.php just after the <body> tag.

Hi Jim,

I have put the cookie choices code back in where you suggested and seems to work fine.

Also added the other favicons code back into the head section in template_top.php which I think is a great addition showing a personalised icon when it gets bookmarked. Not sure if there is an addon (I pulled it from a Google search)

Cannot fully test until I get back home - doing all this from a mini iPad.

 

Thanks again - seems easy when you know how !

A free week on offer in the holiday accommodation at the gallery should you ever find the desire to visit Northumberland in the UK.

 

Best regards,

Andy
