My girlfriend is attempting to use a website run by her company to order stock, however there is a problem with the webpage, i suspect, that stops a particular deatils section of the page from not working.

It only happens on our home PC, having tried it on several others where it worked no probs.

There are other parts of the page that work fine, eg links and drop down menues etc, however the important part doesnt

Ive tried turning the firewall off together with the a/v, just to see of that helped any but it didnt.

Anyone got any ideas?

My pc is a packard bell, running xp, and firefox browser, 1mg t'internet.
Never had a problem with any other websites before, could it be at the source that the problem comes from?

I see you use Firefox.

Have you tried Internet Explorer?

You will find firefox does not support certain sites (looooads of them)
I cant use firefox for email, banking, sometimes ebay etc.

Just use IE to access those sites works a treat!

I love firefox but my missus Hates it with a passion.

You will find that your problem lies within firefox!

Yeah thanks guys it was Firefox that was causing the problem, got access to all the site with I/E.
However then my ISP fell down for the next 4hrs or so

Actually, I think you'll find it's a fault with the website. The developers code for IE rather than the website standards that they should be using.

teajunkie

your right it's all in the code!

Depends what program you use and how you set it up.
Most web designers use IE standards.

So it's not the site thats wrong it's the coder at fault!

It's like turning up to a petrol station that only sells diesel. Every other station sells both so all cars can use it whereas this one only sells diesel but not petrol. Now the conclusion isn't that it's your fault for not driving a diesel as that'd be stupid which is, in effect, what many website developers are doing.
