[Help] Web browser problems

Featured Replies

Hey guys whats up, I am having a minor problem. I am using Firefox but this problem happens on all browsers.

IF you would, go to www.farmingdale.edu click on "Current Students" It will bring you to another page and you will have multiple things to click on. For examp: Pay your Bill, Register for Classes, CLass Schedule, and so forth.

As you can see I got to SUNY farmingdale, and all those options are very important for me to use.

Here is my problem, when I click on current students I do not got most of those links.

here is a screen shot of what I mean, In the red boxes there should be other links but as you can see they are missing:

Does any1 know what the problem might be?

This is what it should look like:

No problem here with Windows XP SP2 (French) & Firefox 1.5.0.1 (U.S.).

Try to clean your cache of firefox, if doesn't work, you can try the brut force with deleting your firefox profile and recreate it. To delete it, move to %UserProfile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox and delete the content. Warning, any settings will be reset.

edit: resize your screenshot to 800*600 ...

Hey I have already cleard the browsers cache, IE andd Firefox i cleared. I deleted the profile but still the same profile....I do not understand what is wrong.... IE does the same thing and so does Opera. THe site works on my GF's comp and laptop and it works at my school....

Any other ideas guys?

I have read too fast your problem, I thought the second screenshot is from you. It strange problem because IE & Firefox doesn't use same engine to render page. What about your lmhosts ? Do you use any popup bloker ? or software to avoid pubs ?

IMHOSTS? I dont know what that is, the only popup blocker is whats built into the browser. ALso i am using Norton Client Internet protection

Lmhosts (for win9x) allow to specify hardcoded ip-dns.

In windows xp there is in %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

(yes, it's a file without extension). Normally this file contain just

127.0.0.1 localhost

what do i do with the lmhosts?

Always check the source code of the page when you see something wrong... this is obvious isn't it?

FireFox doesn't seem to like https:// links. If you see in the FireFox, all the links that are displayed have normal http:// in front of them, but all the rest https:// are missing.

That is the cause of the problem, I don't know what the solution is because I don't use FireFox.

I figured out the problem. I am using Symantec CLient Security and Ad Blocking and privacy control were on and that is what was causing those links to dissappear...
