Emphasis.com Web Browser Compatibility Problem

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Web browser compatibility problem was found at emphasis.com and it becomes a part of the web browser compatibility problem series. The problem occur when you are using Firefox 3 web browser. Users cannot click the menu bar in emphasis.com. You can try it in the following URL: http://www.emphasis.com/chi/home.htm. We believed that the web browser compatibility problem is caused by some mistakes of Javascript and the height value of the Flash object.

Now-TV.com Web Browser Compatibility Problem

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

In addition to mtr.com.hk web browser compatibility problems, we found the same problems in now-tv.com. In the now-tv.com, the problem is that when using Opera / Firefox 3 browser to browse the now-tv.com webpage, some links will become invalid. This compatibility issue is more serious than the issue of mtr.com.hk appear, because this will make the users in now-tv.com cannot use the site properly. We can see the problem in the following URL http://now-tv.netvigator.com/chi/check_profile.html. We hope the staff of now-tv.com staff will fix the problems. We will collect more websites which have web browser compatibility problems in the web browser compatibility problem series.

Cause of Web Browser Compatibility Problems

We believed that the problem is caused by embed flash object’s height value is too large.
<script language="javascript">writeflash(’top_menu.swf’,'893′,’380′)</script>

Website Optimization

Change Coding
In this webpage, Opera / Firefox can click the links normally. I believe that it is because the code to output the flash object is different.
<script language="javascript">call_writeflash(’top_menu.swf’)</script>

Valid HREF in Hyperlink
A valid href value can get better SEO , links in now-tv.com can be changed to use the onclick event.
From <a href="JavaScript:popup(’840′,’640′,’checkNetPassProfile_popup.html’)">查詢 NETPass 資料</a>
To <a href="checkNetPassProfile_popup.html" onclick="JavaScript:popup(’840′,’640′,’checkNetPassProfile_popup.html’)">查詢 NETPass 資料</a>
* Note: it is only an onclick event coding example.

Web Accessibility
Please provide a text version of the webpage to the user, for example, this kind of webpage that only contains picture but no text.

Solve the Garbled Problem
This page is garbled when using Firefox3 to browse it.
