Title: Browsing problems - is this site OK for you?
Post by: geep on January 25, 2013, 07:18:52 PM

Hi,
My PC is very sick and I'm looking for a new motherboard here: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/motherboards (http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/motherboards)

But I can't get the sort options to work - "Sort by rating", "Sort by price". Nor the filter options - Price, Rating etc.
Have used this site in the past - a couple of years ago whilst building a PC for my brother - and it worked OK then and I found their reviews useful.

Is this broken just for me? Do the Sort and Filter work for you?
I'm using (my son's) Vista 64 with both IE9 and Firefox 18.0.1. Also Firefox 17.0 in Slack Puppy Linux 5.4 in VMWare Player - but this realy dislikes it and hangs!

Cheers,
Peter

"Sort by rating", "Sort by price".

Those two sort options worked ok for me, but I never tried any others.

BUT, at one time as I tried them a few time at the same time, I thought there was just the slightest of slowness on one occasion, but that might have been me pressing twice very quickly.

Otherwise 10/10

Ta.
Hmm.
When I hover over the filter or sort options I see "javascript: void(0)" in a little white popup at the bottom left of the browser window.

I'm not aware of any problems with other websites.

Cheers,
Peter

Have now installed Google's Chrome browser - and still the same problem.
I see the "javascript: void(0)" popup down at the bottom left.
Also I've noticed that "Next" and the 1,2,3,4,... are also broken.

Baffled,
Peter

Edit - even more baffled. Tried on same PC with a recentish version of Fedora with Firefox 13.0
Exactly the same problem there too. Think I need to wait for son to return from skiing to explain what's happening.

It all works normally here too.

"javascript: void(0)" just means that clicking the button will run some javascript. If I hover the mouse over one of the Sorting buttons, I see that command on the Firefox status bar at the bottom. It seems to me that you must have a problem with javascript, although why that should be on two different browsers I'm not sure.

I've now discovered that if I login as a different user all is OK, so I can read the reviews OK.

Am mystified as to what setting needs to be changed to make it work for the original user though.
All other Javascript stuff seems to work OK for the original user.

Cheers,
Peter
