thank u for the help guys..
it's just funny, because when i accessed my page just now (cjb), the browser didn't ask for a restart. it just displayed the error message at line XXX. i really don't know what that means but maybe the error's coming from the cjb code..
well, thanks for the help.. i really appreciate it..
thank u.

Hi,

Suzanne: I run my internet connections with 'ask permission for ActiveX controls', which usually forces everything under the sun to slow down at the least. But, after seeing gator's policy, I'm considering changing my cookie permissions as well.

jowp: changing the browser won't hurt -- except the download time -- but I just tried your second url (cjb) and got a 'permission denied' error (line 170) Since your chemistry page's line 170 is a plain vanilla statement, I'm presuming the error is coming from one of their ad pages.

Yes, it's possible that your browser and the popup code generated by the cjb.net server are in conflict. I don't think the redirection is worth it.

thanks

thanks guys for the help..
i really don't have problems accessing the page when i go to http://www.geocities.com/ustchem2003/
but when i go to my site using http://ustchem2003.cjb.net (the one with redirection), IE displays an error message commanding to restart the browser..
HOWEVER, i asked my friends to access the site using the URL with redirection and it works fine for them (they are running on Windows 98 and XP).
could it be possible that my browser is just corrupted or need some repair/reinstallation??
thank you very much for all your help guys..

There must be browser checks in place because I didn't get any results like that.

Hi Suzanne,

I didn't even notice that link ! My eyeballs are definitely getting old. Any rate, it seems that http://webpdp.gator.com is the culprit of the code below, which the popup window that tries to close is trying to hide. The Gator Corp is evidently into placing cookies and using them to 'follow' surfers.

Quote:
var win_width = 100, win_height = 100;
var pos_left = screen.width/2 - win_width/2;
var pos_top = screen.height + 1;
var el = 0; var cc = 0; var ld = 0;
function webPDPFail( reason ){ var iu = '';
if( iu ){ window.open( 'http://webpdp.gator.com/'+iu, "",
"location=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,status=no,
scrollbars=auto,resizable=yes" );
} }
function sendEvent( event, reason ){
var cb = Math.floor( 999999999999 * Math.random() );
var qs = "&did=&pid=275&wuid=PzavLQr7CDcAAGp2giU&event=" + event
+ "&reason="+reason; var pixSrc
= "http://webpdp.gator.com/4/common/pixel.php?"+cb+qs;
var eventImg = new Image; eventImg.src = pixSrc;
}
if( document.cookie.indexOf("GatorWebPdpCookie_WUID") != -1 || !cc )
{
if( el ){ var po_path;
if( ld ){ po_path = "/4/message/225/webpdp_delay.php"; }
else { po_path = "/4/message/225/webpdp_plugin.php"; }
var tgc_popoffWin_vs = window.open( "http://webpdp.gator.com"+po_path+"?q = cD0yNzUmZWw9MCZ3PVB6YXZMUXI3Q0RjQUFHcDJnaVUmcj03NTA1",

What's http://www.cjb.net/pop.html?106048666198894 for?! Oh, it contains http://pop.mircx.com/pop/cjb/script/106048666198894 which contains ...

<?php
window.open(
'http://pop.mircx.com/pop/cjb/pop/106048666198894',
 '_new', 'x=5000,top=0,y=0,left=5000,
height=10,width=10,directories=no,
toolbar=no,addressbar=no,resizable=no,
menubar=no,scrollbars=no');
window.focus();
?>

And is a popup ad.

There is no redirection on any of the pages. Just a frame that hides the real url and contains a nasty popup with positioning that puts it off the screen of the user, and may contain malicious coding for all the user knows, and could be crashing IE since it's the most likely browser affected.

Curiously, that popup page contains:

<?php
<html>
&lt;script language=JavaScript&gt;
window.close();
&lt;/script&gt;
</html>
?>

Hi jowp,

Quote: does the url redirection really have anything to do with the IE-restarting?

I seriously doubt it, but I can't be sure since you didn't post the url (and it's not in the profile). I went here: http://www.geocities.com/ustchem2003 , but no problems with IE.

code..

thanks for replying..
anyway, i am really not familiar with the type of redirection it uses but when i access the page, the source code of the reall html file does not appear, i think it uses frames of some type..
this is the code of the site with redirection..

does the url redirection really have anything to do with the IE-restarting?

thanks for your help..

Hi,

Could you provide some more info, please? Do you mean a javascript redirection -- if (nn4) location.href = somepage.html) -- or a host redirection (address is yourname.com but host redirects to hostname.com/yourname) Like the url in question. The redirection script?
