RO Toys List

Stumpy

Someone has just mentioned that they're having problems with the new Toys list on the webpages - is anyone else having a problem? I would be interested to find out if it loads okay for everyone on dial-up especially, but anyone who has a problem - if you can let me know, with details of any problems and the speed of connection you're using.

TVM.

on the site.. list 1 or 2???

both worked fine for me so i guess its irrelavent... 2 was slightly slower.

Stumpy

Sorry - meant to say new toy list, ie, List 2. What connection speed are you running theadore?

The page loads for me, but in the bottom left corner there is the yellow triangle, with a black exclamation mark with the comment error (ie, at the bottom of internet explorer). What error I don't know...

Worked it out here is what the error box says:-

Line: 4
Char: 1
Error: access is denied
Code: 0
Url: http://www.lowesfamily.ndo.co.uk/RO2005/RO2%20Toys.htm

Um - I have no idea what that means!!! Never mind - I'll have a fiddle with it and see if I can work out what has happened. Obviously something has snuck in that shouldn't be there - its just supposed to be a bog-standard list, one pretty pic at the bottom, the title and the links to the sides. Nothing really technical.

Could be me I suppose

Stumpy

No - wasn't you. was my fault relying on a wysiwyg editor!! Something was hiding in the code that shouldn't have been there (nothing nasty, I hasten to add) just slowing things down and confusing the browsers.

Anyway - should be better now - can you try it out?

The error still comes up for me (also on the RO 2 lists menu page?). However, I'm probably calling up a cached page, or the alternations haven't filtered around to my part of the net yet.

And yes I work for a software company so I can't help but pick up a few bits of technical knowhow.

Stumpy

I'm stumped then!! (no pun intended!)

Can't see anything that could be causing that, but as I mentioned, I'm not really that good at doing webpages - do it all via a wysiwyg editor, rather than doing it the "proper" way with the code. And I've got no idea at all why the second index page would do that - that was made from a clean sheet, rather than copying and pasting stuff into it - unless its something to do with the banner/link to the bottom.

For the Toys page problem, I've actually used one of the other pages as a template and then re-added the list onto it from Excel, after copying and special pasting with only the text pasted, and deleted the old one - which should have filtered out anything that shouldn't have been there (and there was a lot gone when I checked - reduced the size of it by about a quarter, anyway). So unless the other RO2 pages are popping up with problems as well, I can't see anything else wrong with it - unless, as you say, you have just loaded what was in your cache - did refreshing not work?
