Which versions of IE have you verified there to be a problem in, both IE6 and IE7, or just one of them...??? It could either be the Javascript code or CSS related...

EDIT:

Javascript error in IE7:

Line: 36
Char: 1
Error: invalid argument

If your browsers status bar is turned on, and you should always leave it turned on, you would see a warning triangle in the lower left corner which, when clicked, will display any Javascript errors... I have found that IE is far less forgiving of simple code mistakes that other browsers overlook...

Hello Ralph!

Thank you for your fast reply!

The problem I have detected appeared as well in IE 5.5 as in IE 7!

I have seen the warning in my status bar, but can you tell me please how I should solve the problem?
Indeed I have corrected the strict HTML-code in Etomite, which should mean, that I modified the tags like <br /> in </br>, but Etomite changes my modifications automatically back to <br />.

Do you have some hints for me how to tackle the problem?

Best regars, Alex!

You'll need to debug the Javascript code or check with the script creators support forum, if they have one... I'm busy trying to debug and improve Etomite code and don't have the time to invest into debugging someone elses Javascript...

Several simple items to look for, that I have found to be problems with IE, are:
* Check for a straggling comma after the lest element of an array structure
* Check for a straggling semi-colon after a closing curly brace };
* Make sure all variables are defined before use

Hi Ralph!

Thank you for your answer, but unfortunately I don't have any experience in debugging!
Are there any good hints you could give me what I have to do?

But where do I have to look for this code-problems? In the normal HTML code of the document?
If so, isn't it a problem of Etomite itself? That means, if I make a new popup link, will not be there the next code-problem?

Best regards, out of Austria, Alex!

Hi,

I'll try and help you on your way

If you look at the code you used on the page, and I've tested it, the second pop up works, the first one doesn't

If you know that it should be simple, compare the code form pop up 1 with pop up 2

If you check the code, you'll see:
Code of first pop up:

<a href="../bilder/marmor_grossebilder/arabescato.jpg" title="Marmor - Arabescato" 
onclick="window.open('../bilder/marmor_grossefotos/arabescato.jpg','Marmor -
Arabescato','width=600,height=600,top='+(screen.availHeight/2-300)+'');return false;">

Code of the second pop up:

<a href="../bilder/marmor_grossefotos/biancocarrara.jpg" 
onclick="window.open '../bilder/marmor_grossefotos/biancocarrara.jpg',
'','width=610,height=610');return false;">

If you do some checking, and comparing there is something totally different in pop up 1:

Quote

onclick="window.open('../bilder/marmor_grossefotos/arabescato.jpg','Marmor - Arabescato','width=600,height=600,top='+(screen.availHeight/2-300)+'');return false;"

There is something wrong in the bold section.
And my guess is the double quote (") is made out of two single quotes.
this should be a single quote, they shouldn't be there, or the whole bold section shouldn't be here at all.
As it is not used in the second pop up, and that one does work
