Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

I'm testing your page in a Windows vista machine with IE8.0.76 and with a XP machine and IE 7.0.57 the top nav is displaying well in both machines.

The .NET 4.0 framework are used for the server not for the client machines so I don't think you can go this way

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

actually it is used for the client too. you require it to run some apps developed in .net 4.0

so what else could be the problem ? did i mention it happens with all of the labels and button labels too ?

thanks

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

.NET 4 does not have to be on the client machine to use mojoPortal in a web browser and the .NET framework is not used in the web browser but only on the server in terms of mojoportal. The only .NET code I know of that can run in the browser is Silverlight, but that is not inolved here.

Things I would check if I were you

  • what language preference is used in the web browser(s) where you have this problem
  • could there be some browser plugin(s) involved
  • could there be some anti-virus or privacy protection installed on the client machine where the problem happens
  • could there be a proxy server or security software between the browser and the web that might be filtering or otherwise modifying content
  • clear the mojoprtal log then cause the problem and see if it logs anything

Since no-one else here can see the problem when viewing your site in the browser, the problem seems to originate on the client machine.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

Hi Joe, your tip on the language preference in the browser might have done the trick, i had to add the English language and make it top priority...

just need to confirm this for all browsers.

Thanks all for your help.

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

I would be curious to know what language setting it had when the problem was happening, maybe then I could reproduce the problem on my machine.

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

Hi,

Thanks, I was ale to reproduce the problem and understand the cause.

Back in 2009 someone contributed a resource file for Hebrew Resource.he.resx, be he only translated a few keys and all the other keys are blank, it would be better if the keys were missing instead of blank because then it would fallback to English for the missing keys, but with the keys there and no values it just renders as empty content. I will remove the blank entries from this file for the next release and hopefully someday someone will send us a more complete translation for Hebrew.

Best,

Joe

Re: topnav not sowing on some OS and Browsers

You already have the file, it is in the /App_GlobalResources folder, to translate it, you should compare to the English version which is just Resource.resx so you can see the English values.

The best tool for editing the file is Visual Studio 2010. If you are able to update it, please send the updated file to joe dot audette at g mail dotcom

Thanks,

Joe
