PHP page reloading on Mac IE. Help!

[kevinj]

I have a site that I've built using PHP and my client has a Mac and uses IE. When you pull up any page of the site on Mac IE, it loads the page, then reloads the page once. I've used an include for the navigation on each page. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. Has anyone had this happen or have any ideas I might try to eliminate the reloading?

Hi Kevin,

Two things:

1. Your client is cool.

2. I run a mac with IE also, and do not have this problem with any of the pages I use require() or include on, so my guess is the problem is not directly the include statement, but you might want to have a look at indirect effects... EG is there a reason on the included page or the page itself that could possibly cause the page to be reloaded after the page is included.

Hope this helps narrow down the problem. Wish I could give you some more specifics.

ah, good old IE on Mac

too bad mainstream support was retired on 30-Jun-2003 for that browser, it is such junk even MS won't touch it

though I know this doesn't help you. When you view source do you get anything?

any other clues? the include won't be it, includes are parsed server side, but the code in the include could be. Any js menus or dhtml stuff? could be

You'll have to find out where it is choking, comment out the menu include and then see what happens, then go from there.

and get that person to use any other browser but that piece of garbage, it never worked and will never work, but wait until you fix this first. ;)

<added>no offense intended to your client or to you jd01

Warning OT

None taken, actually only open IE when I have to, but prefer 64 bit dual processors to other uh, politely, 'stuff'.

Sorry, OT

I've determined it's the HierMenus I'm using that's causing the page to reload. I pull out the JS and the JS loader and the page doesn't reload. Such a drag. The loader calls other JS pages that are part of the menus code. This doesn't happen on another PHP site I run for another client. Is there any adjustment we can make on the Mac OSX server that might help? Any other ideas? I would like to tell my client forget about IE for Mac, but that's not going to fly.

Strange. I just spend 25 minutes visiting the HierMenus 'featured sites' and I haven't seen a page reload at all (Mac/IE).

I think this has to do with my client's server. It's running Mac OSX and Apache. This is the first time I've seen this happen myself. I'm currently trying to find a way to load all scripts on a page in PHP first before displaying anything on the webpage.
