View Full Version : Full refresh in IE

Hi..

I'm having a very frustrating issue with some javascript and proper functionality in IE.

what's supposed to happen is the javascript is supposed to call for a video to load and play. That video is clip tagged to another video, so when you click on the first video the second is supposed to play (same URL with a clip tag). It works fine in firefox of course. But my problem is that in IE the when you click on the first video it loads the clip tagged URL for the second video but replays the first.

I've never encountered this before, the client built the site himself in livepage and the code is ugly, so i don't know if there is some other element on his site that is cause IE to not fully refresh after you click the clip and load the URL of the same page with the clip tag.

I've tried the meta refresh route, but it kept refreshing in some nasty cycle.
I think a one time refresh might fix the problem, but I don't know what the code is to get the page to just refresh once, instantly. Can anyone assist me please?

It's not the prettiest solution, so if anyone knows why this is happening in IE and knows a fix, that would be awesome!.

Thanks

Not without seeing the page or the code. If the page is live, please link to it.

Here is the site. It works like it is supposed to in firefox, so make sure to look at it in IE

It appears that in your hosted account where the video stuff is stored the bottom line gives all instructions for the clickAd scripting.

For the object tag (rudimentary embedding of Flash from Netscape based browsers) you have this:



clickUrl:'http://olympiancares.com?lopct=audio'


Later in the same line, for the embed side (again rudimentary embedding for IE browsers) you have this:



clickUrl:''


So, the object tag is telling the browser what to load (lopct=audio), but the IE embed tag doesn't have it listed to play.

May need to contact the host of that script/Flash movie to correct the problem. If you host it, it is an easy fix.

If they won't fix it then you will need a JS answer to reload the page once AFTER the button has been clicked. Which I can't really help with as I am not wise in the forces of JS.
