Rep Altering Power: 0 hortondr is on a distinguished road
AOL Browser Compatibility

Hello All!

I have a website I am designing and am the webmaster of: http://www.remindandreplenish.com. My partner alerted me of an issue with the site navigation when using AOL with Mac OSX. When you visit the site, you will see four "tables" each for a specific filter type in the center content section. When those "boxes" are clicked, a drop-down section (a <span> tag containing the selection boxes for the specific filter models) for the corresponding filter type is displayed. What the site should do, is to automatically close one section when another filter type box is clicked. In AOL, the sections stay open, even when another box is clicked to display its contents. Does AOL support <span> tags with inline stylesheets? That is what I am using...This works fine in IE and FireFox. I would appreciate any help you could give.

Thank you,
David

Re: AOL Browser Compatibility

Tell your friend to use Safari, not AOL.

Anyway, I don't have it to test in, but it works well in Safari. I'd say you've got a JavaScript issue. Might I suggest you add a "return false;" in the onclick of the JS thing so it doesn't whip the browser to that position on the page? It was rather confusing to me; I thought I should be looking above the links, not below.

Re: AOL Browser Compatibility

AOL on OS X is different, though. Just as IE for OS X is stupid. To be honest, it's probably going to be one out of 100,000 of your visitors are going to be using AOL on OS X. Okay, maybe not that slim, but it's really slim.

Anyway, It's nothing to do with the design; just a JavaScript problem.
