Hi guys, At work we have recently got a couple of new PC's (one of which I was lucky enough to get) and its running Vista, however I have had a couple of developed websites now that just won't display banners with javascript attached to them. It displays the gap i.e. a blank space of the dimensions of the image. I have installed no adblockers to my knowledge, however in saying this I see none of the usual ads on bit-tech (I never ad block bit-tech!!) Admittedly this is nice on some websites, this is a cross browser issue (including Opera, FF, Chrome, and IE7) so I can only assume it is Vista, additionally if I run a windows XP VM on my PC (the only way to get IE6 on Vista) the banners display fine, though that VM is running XP. Any ideas guys? The other vista machines seem to be working fine, so I think its perhaps a side effect of something I use.
you mean flash or java? javascript should be fine with those browsers default unless you turned it off http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Thats why its odd.. I'm a web developer so I know when flash/java isn't isntalled and javascript is disabled (I wrote the javascript banners in some instances) it just doesn't make sense that all browsers block them. I thought it was some kind of global caching issue, but i deleted vista's caching and that still didn't help. @badders: There doesn't appear to be anything amiss in hosts file I have: 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost does that look rite? Any other ideas guys?
