Redirect/Refresh problem under Internet explorer
Since at least 2 days, My homepage has been unavailable to all Internet explorer users…(76% of my visitors)
Browser | https://waltercedric.com | http://www.waltercedric.com |
Internet Explorer 6.0 | working | endless redirect loop |
Firefox 1.0.7 | working | working |
Opera 8.5 | working | working |
My internet page has under it’s root directory http://www.waltercedric.com an index.html file which redirect You to #Joomla http://www.waltercedric.com/Mambo/
The following file has work since recently, under IE but suddenly stop 3 days ago…
Content of index.html
| |
<html> <head> <title></title> <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="0 ; /Mambo/index.php"> </head> <body></body> </html> |
Firefox has no difficulties with the file above. After a quick Look at the W3C consortium for HTML normalisation, I found the following code
Content of index.html (working) |
<html> <head> <title></title> <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="1;URL=/Mambo/index.php"> </head> <body></body> </html> |
So to resume, a coding error, lazy standard and ME only testing under firefox…I apologize for inconvenience…and will try to avoid such situation in future.
