This is total crap! page viewed in Opera = Beautiful! Page viewed in Firefox = FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!!!! Page viewed in Safari = Gorgeous! Page viewed in Internet Explorer = smash keyboard over Bill Gates freaking face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I finally found a fix for the “problem” which really isn’t a problem because l;gskdjnd l;ghu weanopti rgowh hii;hjm;.xk,jm dckjm fdcjm cdcm x,czfdglhklgfkdjlkjmg45gf47509456lgfkdhjl;dhmv ;xxfk,cgjioyer;o;xdifghjb l;kcvj
Unfortunately the “fix” doesn’t do crap! You know why it doesn’t do crap? BECAUSE RETARDS ARE STILL USING INTERNET EXPLORER TO VIEW MY PAGES!!!!!!!!!! If you are using IE you are hereby bannished from EVER going to any of my websites again!! You make my life hell!!!!!
Another thing, if you’re using Internet Explorer to view this right now you had better get together with all of your other little “IE Buddies” and buy me a new keyboard because you’ve just about got this one broken (and no I will accept nothing less or other than another Logitech G15) Highly considering smashing my keyboard into my monitor for stress relief which means you’ll have to buy me another $400 monitor (might be a little less now it’s a Samsung SyncMaster 226bw the 22″ model with 2ms refresh rates and absolutely flawless color definition)
What is the problem? Huh you piece of crap excuse for an internet browser? How is it different? What did I do differently? NOTHING YOU JACKASS PIECE OF CRAP BROWSER!!!!!! NOTHING!!!!! NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING!!! Did you get that? I did NOTHING differently!!!! The only difference is the name of the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is your problem!?!?!?!?!?! Render the flash file like you should or I will murder your children!!!!!
So what I’ve found is that IE got sued a while ago for how they were rendering flash files… so they had to change the activex controls. I’ve seen this before, if a flash file has any sort of interaction such as hover overs or fun stuff like that you must first click the file before the HoverOver will actually work. That’s fine, I really could care less about that, I don’t mind making the retards who visit my website using IE click some stuff before it’s as cool as it should be. Thing is, IE isn’t showing my flash files at all!!!! Well some they are, some they aren’t. If you look at http://www.codysortore.com/blog/ the flash file for that shows up in all browser windows, it’s gorgeous, fun, and something that I spent a LOT of time on. Another flash file I created for http://www.codysortore.com however is not showing up. The difference? none, that’s right, none. Both are inserted onto the page using a >embeded< tag, both have the exact same tags and ID’s the only difference is the name on the sourced flash file. I later found this out after showing my cousin the new flash banner for ArchmailleDesigns.com because I’m trying to get some good SERP’s and found that Google can now read flash files (possibly the others can as well but I don’t know for sure) so why would I want an image on the page that only serves as being pretty when I could have a flash file that adds extra text to the page? Obviously when you’re pushing for every last inch that you can obtain the object that contains text is much more valuable than an image that has no text what so ever (or at least no text that is readable by the SE’s). I sent Jordan to The Site I was working on and he say’s “did you get everything uploaded?” my response “yup, and it’s actually working beautifully even though it took me forever to find the correct source file” (the source navigation for the PHP shopping cart that I used for that site is hellishly complex) “Well all I see is a white box” responds Jordan… “Dude I’m looking at it now, it works flawlessly, what do you mean white box?” “yeah dude there’s just a white box at the top of the page.” confused as could be I refreshed the page… still showed up perfectly fine. I then questioned again “did you refresh the page?” still confused because even if he did he shouldn’t be getting a white box since the image was there, which I removed for the flash file… no other changes were made, and there was a 0 downtime transition time. “yup still white” he says back. I finally remembered that the loser started using IE when he got his new computer because he liked IE7 just as much as FF. Low and behold when I opened the page in IE there was a white box showing, so I checked all my other pages that had flash, some worked, some didn’t even though they ALL use the same damn code. The flash files all use the same kinds of controls (HoverOvers if anything) and I’ve searched everywhere for a fix, tried everything, the only thing that seems semi promising is a javascript work around… which will NOT be going onto my pages because javascript is absolutely the most worthless code ever developed for the internet and I absolutely refuse to use it. I’m considering developing a PHP script like I’ve seen on some websites that will send you to a holding page if you try to view it in IE and all that it does is say that you cannot view the page until you visit it using a sensible browser with some sort of link to FF
