Okay, thanks for the better explanation. What's happening is that when some people view your page, things are showing up in the code that shouldn't.

What is happening is the page is going through a filter (logically) and that filter is removing fake-looking links. So it's removing things that mask, act like spam, are popups, et cetera.

This filter could be through a firewall, or a special network -- you really need to find out what's in common with the people who cannot view it. There must be a common thread, it can't be random. If it's not the Operating System, and it's not the browsers, it's the firewall or internal network that is doing the filtering.

Since it's clearly a filter (onfilter could be an internal "function" that marks the links as edited), there isn't anything YOU can do other than not use tricks on your links.

Your meta tags are different even:

<META name="description" content="">
<META name="keywords" content="">
<META name="generator" content="CuteHTML">

<xmeta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<xmeta content="MSHTML 5.50.4807.2300" name=GENERATOR>

'
xmeta?
You also have xbody in the second one...

I'm more server side scripting... so I'm not sure if this makes that much of a difference

The way he explains it, onfiltered shows up 1 in 1000 times... so something is making a browser read it differently
Do we know what browser the people who get the alternate are using?

I didn't use onfiltered at all - I used onmouseover. That's the problem, what made the code change itself to onfiltered - and for some users only?

Suzanne,

You're looking at the "test" page. What I did there was throw in a copy of the man's email - when I copied it in, Yahoo Mail included its own code. I was just trying to include from on so what I copied didn't fall apart when it went onto the page. This was just so you guys could see that the words were missing and hopefully see why.

Honestly, I have tested some of my web pages. But, I have about 160 and not enough time. So I do already know that most of my pages have lots of errors. If you had found the same errors in my real page as you did in the test page, I would want to know. That would be important to me. What happened is that I asked my question at usenet and people there only wanted to talk about regular code problems but nothing that had to do with the question.

I know it is not perfect, but please look at the real page instead (http://www.lacetoleather.com/sinusinfection.html) and to get a better picture of my work.

Thanks

Q: why are you using onfiltered in the first place? Is it a function? It doesn't appear to be a valid event handler.

Suzanne — Sun, 01 Sep 2002 00:08:09 +0000

You asked us not to talk about the code, but that's part of the problem -- you have missing table cell closing tags and some other minor errors (see Busy's post). A DOCTYPE in the middle of the document, and tags in the middle of the document, et cetera.

Whether you think it's pretty good or not, it's wrong.

As for not displaying, the more valid your code is (but there are exceptions, of course) the less likely you are to have phantom errors.

Now, about fixing that code...

w3c.org has online validators. I recommend you walk through them and fix it up and see if that resolves the problems, or if you find something odd in there.

For instance, xbody and xmeta...

try take out the first "return true"

or another way is:

The cause could also be pop up killers, not sure how they work but they do target javascript, and what your doing with your links is prime killer stuff

Suzanne — Sun, 01 Sep 2002 00:00:48 +0000

not for html attributes.

Javascript is Case sensitive...right?
onMouseOver is not the same as onmouseover
