topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

Hi, thanks again for this great portal.

im targeting 4.0 Framework.

on some computers and browsers, the TopNav doesn't appear. (for example vista/ie7, xp, windows 7/chrome& ie8/7)

on the other hand on some it does (vista/chrome & firefox).

i tried changing the skins, playing with the css with no success.

Can someone point me to a way to solve this ? even a creative solution can help.

Thanks

Buzi

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

Hi Buzi,

The skins not depends on the OS , it is depends on browser standards . The browser standards may be different in browsers. You can see some css files(IESpecific.css ,IESpecific.css) in you skin folder that can set correct css classes  for different browsers.

Hope Helps,

Asad

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

hi Asad,

seems to me this is not a Styling issue. what i have noticed now is that the browser is not rendering the text itself. (and its not appearing in the code)

for example, this is the source code taken from the login page as viewed using IE7/IE8:

 

 

<div id="ctl00_mainContent_pnlStandardLogin" class="floatpanel">

    <table id="ctl00_mainContent_LoginCtrl" class="login" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;">
    <tr>
     <td>
        <div id="ctl00_mainContent_LoginCtrl_pnlLContainer" onkeypress="javascript:return WebForm_FireDefaultButton(event, &#39;ctl00_mainContent_LoginCtrl_Login&#39;)">

            <div class="settingrow">
                <strong>
                <label for="ctl00_mainContent_LoginCtrl_UserName"></label></strong>
                <br /><input name="ctl00$mainContent$LoginCtrl$UserName" type="text" maxlength="100" size="35" id="ctl00_mainContent_LoginCtrl_UserName" />
            </div>
            <div class="settingrow">
                <strong><label for="ctl00_mainContent_LoginCtrl_Password"></label></strong>
                <br /><input name="ctl00$mainContent$LoginCtrl$Password" type="password" id="ctl00_mainContent_LoginCtrl_Password" />
            </div>
            <div class="settingrow">
                <input id="ctl00_mainContent_LoginCtrl_RememberMe" type="checkbox" name="ctl00$mainContent$LoginCtrl$RememberMe" />
            </div>
            <div class="settingrow">
                <input type="submit" name="ctl00$mainContent$LoginCtrl$Login" value="" id="ctl00_mainContent_LoginCtrl_Login" class=" jqbutton ui-button ui-widget ui-state-default ui-corner-all" />
 

as you can see, the labels don't appear.

this also happens with labels and button text too in other pages.

any idea why ?

Thanks

Buzi

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

For me all things are fine in firefox and IE8(on vista). What is exactly your browser that don't show topnav?

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

This is strange, im running Vista and IE8 8.0.6001. (also compatibility mode same problem) chrome and FF are ok.

also with my client they have the same problem with windows XP

could it be a .NET 4.0 framework i have installed ?

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

I'm testing your page in a Windows vista machine with IE8.0.76 and with a XP machine and IE 7.0.57 the top nav is displaying well in both machines.

The .NET 4.0 framework are used for the server not for the client machines so I don't think you can go this way

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

actually it is used for the client too. you require it to run some apps developed in .net 4.0

so what else could be the problem ? did i mention it happens with all of the labels and button labels too ?

thanks

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

.NET 4 does not have to be on the client machine to use mojoPortal in a web browser and the .NET framework is not used in the web browser but only on the server in terms of mojoportal. The only .NET code I know of that can run in the browser is Silverlight, but that is not inolved here.

Things I would check if I were you

  • what language preference is used in the web browser(s) where you have this problem
  • could there be some browser plugin(s) involved
  • could there be some anti-virus or privacy protection installed on the client machine where the problem happens
  • could there be a proxy server or security software between the browser and the web that might be filtering or otherwise modifying content
  • clear the mojoprtal log then cause the problem and see if it logs anything

Since no-one else here can see the problem when viewing your site in the browser, the problem seems to originate on the client machine.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

Hi Joe, your tip on the language preference in the browser might have done the trick, i had to add the English language and make it top priority...

just need to confirm this for all browsers.

Thanks all for your help.

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

I would be curious to know what language setting it had when the problem was happening, maybe then I could reproduce the problem on my machine.

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

it had HEBREW as the only language in the setting.

give it a try.

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

Hi,

Thanks, I was ale to reproduce the problem and understand the cause.

Back in 2009 someone contributed a resource file for Hebrew Resource.he.resx, be he only translated a few keys and all the other keys are blank, it would be better if the keys were missing instead of blank because then it would fallback to English for the missing keys, but with the keys there and no values it just renders as empty content. I will remove the blank entries from this file for the next release and hopefully someday someone will send us a more complete translation for Hebrew.

Best,

Joe

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

You already have the file, it is in the /App_GlobalResources folder, to translate it, you should compare to the English version which is just Resource.resx so you can see the English values.

The best tool for editing the file is Visual Studio 2010. If you are able to update it, please send the updated file to joe dot audette at g mail dotcom

Thanks,

Joe
