Thanks to all who tested out our advanced search with IE 7 + XP and also
for Alan pointing out the code being inserted/reminding me about the
prostyles css override.



Funny thing, by late yesterday afternoon, the IE error mysteriously
stopped happening. First it was that some people/PCs in our building (I
tried this on about 10 PCs) had no errors on staging or live, some with
live not staging and some with errors on both staging and live. By the
end of the day, no more errors. Our III contact said he wasn't able to
fix anything yet (could not determine/replicate the problem) so who
knows. It works just fine now.

Alison,



Your site works OK here on IE7 + Win XP. Your problem could be the

result of poor Innovative code. When you use the

<!--{advancedsearchbody}--> token it adds some code between the </head>

and <body> sections of your document



---snip---

</head>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/scripts/ProStyles.css" />

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"

src="/scripts/common.js"></script>



<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"

src="/scripts/features.js"></script>



<body .....

---snip---



Apart from the fact that these lines shouldn't be there (they are also

in the head section) - it does mean that ProStyles.css will overwrite

your styles.css (This will probably be more noticible if you move to the

Webpac pro example set). This poor code / style layout does not affect

things here, but your IE settings may be different.



I cant get to the controls to turn off javascript in IE7 here so I do

not know what errors the browser would throw up if this was the case -

certainly in firefox you get a no entries found error following the

search with no javascript.



I think you can safely replace the <!--{advancedsearchbody}--> token

with the code it generates minus the bits between head and body - but

whether it will fix your problem I do not know.

Subject: [IUG] WebPAC Pro + IE7 + Advanced Search = Error



Hi all,







I have a call into III, but am wondering if anyone else experienced an

issue with Advanced Search/IE7 after an upgrade to WebPAC Pro.







WebPAC Pro was installed on our system last night. Everything seems to

be working well with the exception of our Advanced Search

(http://innopac.fauquiercounty.gov/search/X) and IE7. If you try and do

a search (cats and dogs, etc.) you either get a horrible Windows

Internet Explorer error (IE cannot open the site

http://innopac.fauquiercounty.gov <http://innopac.fauquiercounty.gov/>
<http://innopac.fauquiercounty.gov/>

<search string>... operation aborted) or sometimes just "No Entries

Found," when we definitely have materials that meet the search criteria.

I've noticed that in some cases/on some PCs (again w/Windows XP and IE

7), the Advanced Search works just fine on our staging port

(http://innopac.fauquiercounty.gov:2082/search/X), even though there

doesn't seem to be any difference with the page or the web options. The

person sitting next to me, however, doesn't have any problems on staging

or live, and as best as we can tell, her IE 7 settings are the same as

mine.







We are using the 2006 classic example sets. The first III person I spoke

to thinks I'll end up having to use the srchhelp_x from the WebPAC Pro

example set (even though I didn't see this as a requirement for WPP

upgrade), but for now they want to see what the differences could be

w/staging and live.







If any of you have any ideas or suggestions, please pass along.

Otherwise, we're pleased with RightResults/relevancy ranking that WPP

provides.







Regards,







Alison
