Many thanks!

Cool no problem thank you very much! And what IE version are you using Ben? Because his doesn't show an error.

Beedev you have a native version too right? Pretty please? I just need to tell him the line number of the error and then he will fix it.

Please disregard that last test page and use this one instead. http://goo.gl/19Wr1 I remembered the developer did not get the error on his IE6 so I made the page back to exactly how it was when you got the error Ben (with all the pics). Thanks!

Ben, the Developer of PIE.htc is a very dedicated guy who is willing to track down this error for me/him. He has a native IE version so with some luck I should be able to resolve this. He has asked that I upload a new test page with the PIE_uncompressed.htc version - which I did. Ben (or anyone with a native IE6) can you pretty please with sugar on top test this again for me and give my the line # of the error and the version # of your IE6? Thanks a bunch! Uncompressed test page. http://goo.gl/0QF4t

I never did. I just ignored that my PHP didn't show up.

This thread is fine. Just float them all to the left. That will line them all up on the same line. You could otherwise do display inline-block but float is easier.

Then I set up my virtual directory by folowing this tut. This way I dont have to move my development files. I just simply point wamp at them instead. http://www.webdesign.org/web-programming/php/configure-a-virtual-directory-using-wamp.16605.html

Alright! Man I haven't got excited like this since back in the day. I got it working! I found two ways to make it work. Im using the second one. The reason this link http://www.phpmagicbook.com/allow-htaccess-and-mod-rewrite-in-wamp/#ixzz1D7thwkFX wasnt originally working for me was because my .htaccess code was php5. It works perfect if I changed it to just php. and took off the #. The second way - the one i'm using was answered here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4352483/html-not-parsing-as-php-in-wamp. See the last answer. open your httpd.conf file scroll down about 2/3 down and add the bit in bold <IfModule mime_module> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .html AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm AddType application/x-httpd-php .txt </IfModule> YES! My life just got better.

Yeah I realize testing that is a bit involved. Via this search I found some good results. I read through them (on my phone) and they look good. I will try out all those... http://www.google.com/m/search?oe=UTF-8&client=safari&hl=en&aq=f&oq=&aqi=-k0d0t0&fkt=3923&fsdt=14027&htf=&his=&q=php+in+html+in+wamp I've never actually had a local server testing suite before. I just always used DW launch in browser and ignored the fact that my includes didn't show. But now it's most of this site so I can't just ignore it. It will be real nice if I can figure this out.

did you guys test any of this? I finally got wamp settup and set it to my virtual directory (which is cool). But I still cant run the php. I tried this simple one too but no go yet. http://kckb.wordpress.com/2009/06/08/wamp-server-and-htaccess-sef/ and I just tried the full tut from your link eddie and no go. I removed the # and added that bit to the .htacces. No luck. Anything you think Im missing? This would be very cool to have.

No worries. It did not occur to me in the begining either. I still have many of my links to my site showing up that I mistakenly put there.

In my case, the site is my personal website. If perspective clients search my domain or biz name these links show up. I would prefer that only related links to their search show up and not how to do web design etc.

No problem. Thanks for looking again that's helpful. The png issues are only because I have not uploaded the updated CSS file. Ok so you get the error but it still loads. Ok I can prob live with that. Using images for the shadow and round corners is very easy I just want to use css3 dammit! moz box shadow in fx 3.6 also slows the page badly. Used to do this to webkit also but they recently fixed it. I assume fx 4.0 will fix the issue too. Ie9 will be out soon and they support css3. So in one year css3 will native in 80% of browser usage or so. Just thinking out loud. But that dam 13% ie6 users to my site is crazy.

Wow. I have 69% of visitors to my site using IE. 13% on IE6, 13% on IE7, and 43% on IE8. Redicky Ben one more thing please? So I understand correctly and know how to proceed. You get the error message in ie6 >> you push ok >> and it finishes loading right? Or does it just completely abort? Because no matter what I do I can't duplicate this on my machine again. Also. Ben your on a mac uh? Your ie6 too? Here is the same page but using the flash satay method instead. http://goo.gl/CUhhc Does this menu show in your IE6? I tried to use the JS methods but they are are very slow to show the menu. ...and here is the test page where the menu failed to load in IE6 Windows via browsershots and the menu seems alive and well. http://api.browsershots.org/png/original/57/5793fba07c117bfe90fd3bf921b7c079.png

Ben one more thing please? So I understand correctly. You get the error message in ie6 >> you push ok >> and it finishes loading right? Or does it just completely abort? Because no matter what I do I can't duplicate this on my machine again. Edit: oops I got my threads mixed up o well.

I will give this a try thanks Eddie. On a side note. This site is so awesomely coded now. What before took like ten nested tables... Now I just floated all like three containers and and overflow hiddened/gave width the wrap. So clean and simple. ...and PIE.htc by default provides ie6 png fixes. So I was able to get rid of all those expressions.

Ok thank you Ben! I'm thinking of using jQuery SWFObject plugin or the jQuery Media plugin instead to embed my flash menu (with html backup). Has anyone had any experience with either or can offer a new html5/css3/modern way of embedding flash that I may be unaware of? Thanks!

It might be pie.htc in combo with jquery. That's what this post says http://css3pie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=167 but they didn't come to a resolution. Maybe I'll just do images instead for the corners and the shadow. Sigh...

Thank you for taking care of that link and looking again. Doesn't show in any IE's or just IE6? Always shows in all mine and I've never had any mention of that from anyone before. Hmmm. It's about time I change out that flash embed anyways I guess. As far as the error goes. It is loading for you though you just get the error right? If so, it might be the png fixes clashing I have on that page. I'll test others next I guess. It's never easy.

Ben can you please remove that link to my site in joecools post? Uhh thats weird. Never seen the menu not show before. Ben does it show on this table version one? http://goo.gl/ysSay And you get the PIE error uhh. Bummer. Maybe I'll finally just let ie6 die. Its still at 3.8% though. Thats prob to much for me. But thats Global. USA is prob 1 or 2%.

Same error as mine or same error as joecool? I can't duplicate the error anymore.

Bummer. I'll just fudge it then for testing and put in fixed heights on the pertinent containers. Thanks for the info.

Will WAMP local testing work with .html ext with .htaccess enabled includes? Dont know if I worded that right but via my .htaccess code I run php with .html extensions. This is done at the server level obviously. But now I have so many includes my local testing sort of sucks (very little shows) so I want to setup WAMP again. But I'm thinking it wont work - or will it??? What do you think before I go to all the trouble to needlessly set it up?

Thank you for looking. Thats good to know. MODS can you please edit out that link please from the above post? And no links to my site please.
