Help please!

The site is lifeome.com

The Add to Cart button does not do anything in IE (8), either logged in or not. It works in Chrome. please help!



A minor question, when at the store Home, the broken image above the product is shown. How to get rid of it? I've chosen in admin not to show image (in product listing).

I've been searching online for hours, the topic came up before but I could not find any solutions.
Please help!

Just find out if I remove the link to the pdf manual which is right above the Add to Cart button, it will work in IE. Adding text below it does not help.

Anyone know of a fix for that? I do need the link so that there will be more detailed usage information about the product in the pdf file.

Please help!

A properly formatted link should not cause any problems. Check that your link and surrounding HTML is valid. A trip to the W3C Validator might reveal the problem.

Hi Jim,

Thank you for your quick reply!

I checked with the validator and there are tags not open/closed properly inherited from osc part. That's beyond my capability to fix.

Separately, the customizations like the category menu looked good in Chrome but crappy in IE.

I guess the best option is to start with a fresh copy of osc and customize and check in IE along the way.

Thank you again,

Hi Jim,

Looking further, only when using button will disable the Add to Cart, text link is ok. Not sure why.

regarding the above differences in IE/chrome, is chrome more forgiving for sloppy coding?

Thanks,

[kymation]

Chrome is less forgiving; it insists on standards-compliant code. IE is known for quirky rendering and failure to comply with the standards. Newer versions of IE are better, but still not as good as Firefox or Chrome.

Just an update whoever later on may find helpful.

Wrapping the link button in <form> tags disables the Add to Cart button in IE. but it seems to be ok if a <div> tag is used. not sure why though.

[kymation]

That's because the Add to Cart button is already inside a form, and you can't have a form inside another form.
