Problem viewing a website.

[Tiger Jones]

I visit a 3D graphics website regularly but the pages won't render properly. It used to work just fine but, since I reformatted my hard drive a few months ago, it hasn't.

It's the only site I have problems with (that I've noticed!).

The text comes up and some of the graphics but not others.
The links come up but not in the proper format. The links also disappear when I roll the mouse over them. The only way I can get them to remain (hence clickable) is to switch off page style.

There are many java errors but I don't know how to fix them. As I say, I have no problems elsewhere.
I've tried Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera - all with the same result.

Not sure how to procede - any help would be appreciated.

Can supply the website URL and screenshots of before (saved pages when it was working) and after (now).

Thanks.

Have you updated to the latest Java, Flash, etc. or any other necessary technology to view the site? Does the site FAQ recommend any versions which you might have had on your pre-wiped PC, but may not have since updated to?

The URL of the site would be handy - the relevant technologies could then be determined before making a more accurate diagnosis.

Hi TigerJones,

I agree with Bobinovich that the URL would be handy.

If it's Java based it could simply be the Java version you're using. I know they are all meant to be backwards compatible, yada yada yada, but my experience has taught me that they're not. It could also be that the site may require MS Java and not Sun's (sounds a little unlikely but I have had this happen before believe it or not! MS Java is no longer supported or developed but the last time I checked it was still available for download!)

Does the site mention a particular version of Java?

As the Java app is separate from the browser the problem will occur in every browser you use.

Hi guys, thanks for the response.

I'm using J2SE Version 5 Update 6. Also tried update 2. It definitely worked when I had update 2 installed before the reformat.

The website is:

http://www.daz3d.com

Couldn't find anywhere that indicates which version of Java to use etc.
I've tried asking in the forums to little avail.

Hi TigerJones,

Is there a particular page where the Java is used?

All of the pages I went through used nothing but Flash. The links at the left only use CSS hich is probably why turning off the page style fixes that problem. I would suggest that you check that you don't have a user defined CSS style applied to the pages, however if it's causing the problem in multiple browsers that can't be the solution.

Are you using a proxy or firewall that monitors/filters HTTP traffic?

Hi Paul.

Here's the error report that IE generates...

That window pops up each time I roll over the links.

As far as I'm aware, I don't have user defined CSS on any pages.
I don't use a proxy and disabled firewall.

Hi TigerJones,

I'll need to wait until the error.jpg attachment is approved before I can look at it. Will get back to you then.
