Help In Resolving Safari Error

td --

Can you give us the URL so we can check it for you, as well?

Well, good news, td.
It opened fine for me, sorta.
Until I clicked on a chapter, LOL!
Looks like some great courses!

Are you talking about this error?
"Your version of Flip4Mac is out of date"
or another one???

Let us know what your error is, OK?
It may just be sloppy formating on their site.

Apologies for the long URL which makes this page hard to read.
Issue number one is that your page code uses no "DOCTYPE" declaration.
Safari is a very strict browser and it just doesn't like sloppy page code.
I did not get a "page not found" error. I'm using Safari 3.0.4 and Leopard.
Please post a specific URL that gives you this message as you have so many links on your pages.

A 404 error, as per your posting above, is generated by the web server when the page that was requested wasn't found. Most likely reason is an authoring issue with the website itself. I did some aimless clicking-around using Safari 3.0.4 and the username/password you provided here and I was unable to request any pages which weren't on the server.

You should be able to track down what page(s) is generating the 404 error by having the site administrator look in the IIS logfiles (if they don't have enough logging turned on to get this, they should do that - it's an easy setting to change and good practice to do so anyway) for specifically requests which failed with a 404, then trace back how/why some links on their site were including links to a page which doesn't exist.

Do you have a precise step-by-step navigation on the site (starting with login, through to where that 404 error is shown) which fails 100% repeatably but the exact same sequence works with (say) Firefox or Camino? If you do, please post it here so someone can re-test for you, and also have your IIS server administrator look at the set of logged page requests for the Safari session vs the other-browser one and look at what is different, then maybe ask the website developers how their server-side ASP application code might have rendered out different links to the browser depending on the type of browser.

This gets more bizarre as my second visit to your pages actually crashed Safari 3.0.4.
You need some "professional" help for your issues as they are above my skills.

I haven't managed a crash on that page yet, but looking quickly through the links on the page, the links for the popup syllabus windows - accessed from the Info boxes in the Other Available Classes list - aren't the way I'd expect them. For example:

href='javascript:PopupWithSize("redir_course.asp?Action=Syllabus&classNumber=301 ",600,600)'

I would have expected the single- and double-quotes to be the other way around; that is the href parameter having the double-quotes surrounding it and the argument to the JScript function with the page link having single-quotes, like so...

href="javascript:PopupWithSize('redir_course.asp?Action=Syllabus&classNumber=301 ',600,600)"

If it is the syllabus links you are getting the 404 errors with, I can understand it (the URL is going to be presented as %22redir_course.asp rather than redir_course.asp, which, depending on the web server and a bit of good luck in the browser might or might not get you there).

Message was edited by: Ted Harper - got rid of angle brackets in example because it didn't render properly.

I thought I could but the fact you say you can't possibly means I am doing a different navigation from what you are. Can you please post a do this, then click this exact link, then do this, etc set of steps so I (and anyone else following on and trying to help you resolve this) know I am testing the same as you.

As per another post above, I would agree with that poster that if you get the developers to review the code on that website (both the specific issue with the syllabus popup link code I posted and whatever the w3c page validator didn't like for starters), it might very well make it work properly for everyone. Of course that doesn't explain why some navigation isn't working for you but is working for someone else (me at least), and also sounds like it caused a browser crash for someone else in this thread. Hopefully a review of the web server's IIS logs will show a pattern your developers can debug from.

That's pretty much what happens to me,
only it tells me that I need to update Flip4Mac.

It does tell me that I do not have the program to view the frames.
Do you have the latest version of Flip4Mac on there???

Thanks.
