vista is messing with the site...

11 New Member
Hi,

I am slightly confused. On our website www.the-ark.net there is a an advert strip down the right hand side. When viewed with IE or FF with windows XP the ad strip is visible. However the ad strip is invisible when viewed inn IE/FF with Vista. This has been noticed on three seperate computers.

Has anyone else come across this phenomena?

I would be grateful for any wisdom.

The HTML can be taken from the site. The ad strip is in the div called headlines. Here is the css:

I'm so sure your problem is with Vista as it is with the browser. At first glance I didn't see anything inherently wrong with your code.

Using FF on Vista the ad block is not shown when the ad-block plus extension is enabled. However, when I disable this extension, I get the following:



I also don't have any problem viewing the ad block in IE7 on Vista:

Due to an earlier posting I read in this newsgroup regarding Office 2007 beta, I downloaded it. After I DL'd it, I got an invitation from MS to get WinVista. I am now wondering if, since both are betas, it is best to buy a new computer? My current computer setup is a Pentium 4, 1 gig memory, 2.66 ghz, 60-80 gig disk drive. MS's requirements for a WinVista computer is A modern processor (800mz)

I tried installing my VS2005 Pro on Vista Ultimate 32 bit RTM today and got errors stating that VS2005 was not compatible with Vista. Microsoft......please pull your finger out of my ass and tell me this is a joke. It must be a joke....because I also have read that VS2002 and VS2003 will not be supported on Vista. This clearly violates Microsoft's own terms of support for these products.

I have created a three tier application consisting of Client (Exe and Exe.Config), Middle (WebServices) and Database tiers. The Client tier contains an Exe, an Exe.Config and a dynamic Web reference. The Exe reads a key-value pair from the Exe.Config file, which is a link to the appropriate WebService that it should connect to, and sets the dynamic Web reference’s URL. If the Exe.Config file does not contain the key-value or if the...

I need to test it across the network, so i've installed IIS7 on my Vista machine and created a new website, point at the website's directory. After I switched to the 'Classic .net' app pool, it shows up on the port.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
