Web Site Does Not Display (solved)

[rbrown3rd]

Running Gutsy Gibbon on a dual boot WinXP machine. In the KDE desktop on 7.10 this site http://www.bbbrown.com/solar/index.php does display using Firefox. It does not display with Konqueror either. Yet, it does display fine on the WinXP boot using IE, Firefox, and Safari. Any ideas?

What is the site supposed to look like?

I see some animated clouds rolling by.

I'll take a screenshot of what it should look like when I get home. You are getting the same results as me. There are data tables and charts that should display.

I forgot to say that it also looks good on my Iphone. I am looking at it now. Back home soon and will post a screenshot.

Just tried every Browser Identification in Konqueror on that site. None display anythin except the scrolling clouds at the top of the screen.

You should contact the maintainer of the site and complain about it not being compatible with Linux.

It seems to be a flash site...so could that be the culprit?

Thanks for trying that. I am the maintainer of the site. LOL. That is why I am trying to figure out why it does not display using Linux. It works on Macs, PCs, Iphone, etc. But, not on anything using Linux as the OS. I am puzzled. The only part that does display are the animated clouds and that is Flash.

I don't think so because the clouds you see are the only flash component on the site. Also, individual charts will display with their specific URL For example look at:

Only the clouds show here, on Firefox 3.

Have you validated your code? W3C Markup Validation Service

Added: Not sure that W3C can validate php code.

I think that W3C might just be for HTML but I will certainly give it a shot.

Update: No. It fails with php.

Tried your web site in my virtual WinXP machine (VMWare). In Explorer it displays as you expect it to.

That is interesting. Especially the second set of messages. Thanks for doing that and reporting the errors.
