Florisjuh 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2006 Dear Xisto community,For a while my template has been having problems, and I finaly decided to ask help from the public.. The website is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and suffers a very irritating bug, an empty space in the middle of the design which keeps coming every time you load the page, but disappears after a refresh. This bug only occuers on Internet Explorer and not at the other browsers I've tested it with (Opera and Mozilla FireFox). Does anyone see a solution to this problem, because I guess a lot of visitors don't want to refresh the page every time, and they probably get irritated by it as well and I think it's costing me visitors...

jlhaslip 4 Report post Posted October 5, 2006 I think this will might fix that gap, but I am not 100% certain. Add this META tag to the Head section of your page to force a reload every x number of seconds. <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="x" />example:<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5" /> If this doesn't do it, there is a javascript function to add to the body tag that might help also.Something like: <body onload="doLoad()">where the doLoad() function has been defined in the head of your page as per this example forund by using my friend and yours : Google.http://grizzlyweb.com/webmaster/javascripts/refresh.asp Actually a fairly well written piece about three methods to use to refresh or redirect a page.

Florisjuh 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2006 When I add those meta tags my website keeps reloading every 5 seconds, very irritating and totally not what I wanted to happen I'll try with the JavaScript codes, but isnt it possible to fix this problem directly?

darran 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2006 I have just visited your site, and after taking a quick look at it. I can find no such problem (space in the middle of the page) located in the webpage. Can you redirect me to the right place so I can help you debug what is actually going on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hype 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2006 I don't see any problem with the page as well... There's nothing as you have mentioned empty spaces in the middle of the design... Any screenshot or something? I'm using IE 7.0, I do not encounter any problems, or does the error only occurs with IE 6.0? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gameratheart 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2006 I've just tested it as well, and I see no such bug. There are no white spaces anywhere. And I have IE 6.0... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
