navpanel won't show up in Firefox....

[bendall]

I last have seen the fault many years ago, it occurred in both the websites that I had in webring, causing me to abandon SSNB!
The navpanel IS ON MSIE (and Sleipnir and SlimBrowser)
and IS _NOT_ ON Firefox (and Netscape, Opera, Chrome and Flock)

What is happening? The Site is ONE site ONLY in about 400+, out of the four members of the group!
It is to with the "STYLE type=text/css ?"
I doubt it, otherwise it would be much more widespread!

The "urge" to give up MSIE, and the "Non Microsoft" Operating Systems, give the Firefox browser much more widespread use!
What is "wrong" with the site which prevents NavPanel showing in non "MSIE compatible" browser!

It's www.czipm.org/ in the Monarchist/royalist webring.

Interesting. It's not the navbar, not the user, not FF. If you transfer the page to some other host it works just fine in FF and all other brosers.

If you open the error console in FF, clear it, then load the site again you'll see that several scripts generate "invalid character" errors. On a different host they don't.

Conclusion? Not sure. In theory those scripts should be sent to my browser where they are executed withoutu much interference. But their web server IS doing things. If you use your favorite "fetch URL" program to grab the raw HTML output you see it is not a deault character encoding. Guess is this renders the WebRIng javascript unable to function, so it never even makes the call to get the code.

If it's not your web host blocking the SSNB from making its call to WebRing, you might try checking to see if your version of FF is Java and JavaScript enabled. To do so, go to ToolsOptionsContent. I've heard conflicting results using this fix, but most have stopped encountering the error after making the change.

Yup, it's not your host, it's something to do with the foreign character translation.
