Help with Firefox

walrus · 2006-01-18, 01:21 PM

My web page looks great in ie and even Firefox 1.07 but it falls apart in version 1.5 If you look at http://www.misterwalrus.com/abt there is a news flash at the top. I have two newsflashs that rotate, one fairly short the other fairly large. With version 1.5, with the large news flash the text goes into the link area below. This is all set up with div's.

Anyone ran across anything like this? Suggestions? Want me to post more info? Help!!

I just updated to 1.5 today and both look fine to me.

Interesting...Perhaps its some type of cache thing. Originally I could see the problem with both versions but a little CSS tweak fixed it. Or so I thought until I was on my laptop last night (which runs 1.5) when I noticed it again.

Thanks for checking UW

Yeah I have noticed B4 that firefox seems to have a very persistent cache, if it sees divs that are named it kind of thinks the divs are always gonna be the same. I started putting a 'refresh after a few minutes' metatag on most of my sites see page source on http://pornlinks.kwikfire.com that solved much of the problem.

I used to get this on ie when I surfed through a proxy and it was the proxy cache that caused the problem, didnt matter how often I refeshed my browser cache it fetched from the proxy cache! Setting a metatag was the only sure cure. I guess if you always went to your page from a bookmark then putting a balnk query string (just a question mark) on the end of the url would force a refresh as well.
