    I've just noticed that my plogger section of the site comes up "The page cannot be found" in IE. It's absolutely fine in Firefox and Opera, but IE just won't show it at all.

    It displays thumbnails okay in posts, but when you try and click through to the plogger album to see the full-size picture I keep getting this "page cannot be found" IE error message.

    For example, if I navigate to this URL [ http://www.croila.net/plogger/index.php?level=picture&id=169 ] in Firefox and Opera it's fine, and the picture shows up no bother, but IE won't entertain it.

    Nor will my main Plogger page at [ http://croila.net/plogger/ ] be displayed either. Curiously, however, I can open up the Plogger admin section in IE absolutely fine.

    In IE I can put in the absolute path to all the pictures fine, like [ http://croila.net/plogger/thumbs/lrg-4-wales72.jpg ] for example.

    Can anyone shed any light on this? I loathe and detest IE anyway so it doesn't bother me personally, but about a third of my visitors use it so I'd really like to get this problem fixed. But I really don't even know where to start looking ...

    Kind regards,
    Croila

    Have you tried looking at the error logs on your site? Maybe they would give a clue.

    To be honest, I would have absolutely no clue how to do that ... It's not my own server, or anything, just a third party company's hosting package, and I'm seriously out of my depth when it comes to debugging and error logs! Drat. But thank you for the suggestion anyway.

    Tack, that's really strange you can see it. I'm running IE6 at home and at work, and I can't see it at all...

    Yet one more compelling reason to use Firefox, as far as I'm concerned!

    If anyone has any bright ideas as to why this might be happening though, I'd really appreciate hearing from you.

    Thanks

    I can view your gallery in IE6 no problem as well. Strange indeed, sounds like a problem with your client.
  1.  
    not working for me in ie6. and when trying to validate the page in firefox, the w3c validator can't find it.

    http://validator.w3.org/
    when pasting the source code directly in the validator box, it comes up with about 55 warnings and errors.

    Guys, thank you for looking, it's very kind of you.

    I am absolutely stumped now though! Everyone seems to have a different experience with it. I'm thinking of just abandoning this problem, and if some people can't see it using IE, oh well ...

    Maybe the next release of Plogger will sort it out though - I hope so!

    Kind regards,
    Croila

    404 Not Found

    I have a suspicion that IE is being deterred from loading the page by the 404 (File Not Found HTTP Response Code) while Firefox still tries to load the page anyway.

    Keep in mind I get the above response code IN FIREFOX, which means the problem is on the server-side. An email to your hosting provider with the above information would be a good start.

    Cheers,
    Derek

    Derek, thanks ever so much for your advice. I'll certainly get in touch with the hosting company, see if they can do anything.
