"Stonehenge" links fixed (I hope). Please re-try
Posted: 20 Apr 2008 at 12:28 GMT
I think I have identified, with the astute help of forum members, what the problem is and why it works fine for some and not for others.

Would those who had problems please re-try at least to see if my "fix" indeed gives a universal fix? And let me know?

Thanks.

Hello Peter,
unfortunately it doesn't work for me. The strange thing is, that if I look in the source code, the links are perfect! My guess is that the issue is within this piece of code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--//
		IE=(navigator.appName.indexOf('Microsoft') >= 0);
		NS=(navigator.appName.indexOf('Netscape') >= 0);
		V4=(parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4);
		V5=(parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>=5||navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE 5")!=-1);
		MAC=(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Mac')!=-1);
		if(NS && V4 && !V5) eval("document.tags.BODY.marginLeft='-8px';document.tags.BODY.marginTop='-8px';") //-->
	</SCRIPT>

It looks like the page is loading a javascript file, based on which browser you use, which is causing the links to change.
Maybe a javascript/html professional can have a look at it?
Regards,
Ronald

Vilmer,
I am now typing this for the third time. Suddenly I cannot “respond” on my original computer on this forum, get a lock up. I am now on another computer altogether. Obviously I have internal problems, doing updates and virus scans now.

What I was trying to reply is this:

Fix#1 was removing the spaces in the file names. I have now implemented fix#2 which is removing the capital letter in the filename to small case.

But the more important question is where the source of the html is?? Could it be coming from Quicktime itself?? I saved the .mov file with Quicktime’s auto-full-screen-and-play option. I assume Quicktime splices some html code onto the file to make that happen. Could THAT be the source of the problem??

Fix #3. The http:// got switched somewhere to http:\\. That has been corrected.

Vimer's posting of code may have buggered this thread for some, my guess. If you are having problems, respond on the original thread.

Now I think you seem to have typed in the links as

http://www.flyfishingfotography.com\webpics\stonehenge1.mov


Internet explorer again doesn't seem to care but for firefox try and keep them all forward slashes to work. You have several back slashes in your link. Which is new.

zxcbnm,
You're right again. I just didn't look further into the address at ALL the slashes. Again, in the original address which I copied, they were ALL forward slashes. So something, somewhere reversed all my slashes. Boy, talk about a gremlin. Or a DRUID? Have I triggered the dreaded Stonehenge curse?

They are hopefully all now corrected. Fix #4.

Thanks for the continuing patience.

Peter

Vilmer also reports on the other thread that it is now fixed for him.

zxcvbnm, I owe you a big thanks....even tho I cannot pronounce your name. Does it sound like
"xyzbcg" I was ready to consider anything to fix this short of a gender change. Well, maybe if I could have chosen the quality of the body parts.

I love the QTVR set. It's very neat to have a 360 degree pano within a building (or structure) that has some sort of "windows" so your view is not limited. It makes me feel like I really am inside the structure. Very neat!

But for the pictures, I think the sky is a little too blue. A little unnatural for my taste. But probably it's just my preference.

Thanks for sharing with us!
