Screwed up pages in MY Internet Explorer

[TraceyHand]

that's because your cache is still knackered, Darren
dunno why or how to 'fix' it though if you've cleared them

[Donald Gray]

Let me cheer you up - does your company take the prize for being the oldest established that's using Actinic? 1860 is pretty good going

AND still going strong - I have a history article to do that shows some of the early tree haulage tractors - they are something else...

I have cleared the history and temporary internet files twice and rebooted but still get the problem, but the strangest part is the links all point back to this forum (http://community.actinic.com/acatalo...Machinery.html) , anybody else find that.

Yes but only in Opera which also has the Actinic forum open, all the other browsers I tried worked ok using direct links to the page. Cleared cache and still not right in opera.

This problem is only on the pages that are handled with perl?

All convential html & other acatalog pages are perfect - only the 'Form' pages are screwed up.

which is why I recommended a purge and refresh to reupload the scripts

which is why I recommended a purge and refresh to reupload the scripts

I did just that but the problem was still there...HOWEVER:

I Just tried it again and all is now OK - all pages render correctly!

What I did was to invoke IE7:
Tools|Internet Options|'General' Tab|'Browsing History' Delete|Delete all

(This of course deletes all cookies and need to re-login to forums etc.,)

Then I deleted Java cache as per:
Start|Control Panel and double clicked 'Java'
In Java General Tab|Temporary Internet Files|Settings|Delete Files|both ticked: 'Applications and Applets' & 'Trace and log files' - pressed OK to delete them...

Rebooted machine
Made a coffee while it settled down...
checked the miscreant pages - everything OK!

I think it was the coffee that did it!

Seriously though, I am not sure which was the fix, I suspect clearing the Java as it was the only common factor between folks machines & various browsers...

Out of interest...one of the old logging tractors... Yandles is still a working Timber Yard

I am still unable to clear that error page from my cache (cleared history, temp int files and java files), so will give up now as I am sure the problem only started because I followed the link direct fom the thread.

[Donald Gray]

BTW: A huge thanks to all who responded and added clues to the problem...

What concerns me is that other users looking at the websites may also have the problem!

I see the problem still exists.
One strage thing is that if i add a item the cart, I get a messed cart page, and then i am redirected back to this very thread, weird. The meta refresh indicates the thread, it should not.
Aside from that I think the problem is that you use a relative link to your css. See, actinic.css resides in the acatalog directory. So when you're viewing a page rendered from your cgi-bin then it can't find the css. You should change that to an absolute link.

[lazyeye]

you should have a base href meta tag in your pages.

<BASE HREF="http://www.youdomain.com/acatalog/">

that should solve your problem.

Normally, actinic takes care of adding this during page generation. If it does not, something is wrong in your settings. Check your network settings.
