Would someone mind looking at this fairly basic (I thought) site that I've built for my father?
www.pws-consulting.com
It loads up fine and works under the latest version of chrome, firefox, safari on my mac, and does the same on windows 7, even in ie. (though some of the css dies, which is acceptable).
On his windows xp machine however, the site has many problems.
Explorer browser.
Upon initially accessing the website, the following error message appears "Internet Explorer encountered a problem and needs to close".
When I hit "Don't send" for the error report, the tab for the website is recovered and it reopens. Pics and text content look ok.
However for every hyperlink (Services, Contact, etc), the same error message above appears.
Eventually the browser crashes.
Firefox browser:
Website opens normally but all text content is mispositioned at the bottom of each page, hyperlinks repeat, colour map does not appear, etc.
All-in-all, a formatting mess.
I've used AdobeBrowser Lab to test the site and it appears to be finder going back to IE 7, Firefox 5.0 on windows so I'm at a lose to understand what is wrong.
Thanks in advance for any help. All the best to everyone in this new year.

Doesn't seem to crash on WinXP IE 6.0 for me. Works great on IE 7+ though. No problems in Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari either. Must be an issue with your computer? Did you try another computer?

My other issue is that I am trying to run it in my local webserver (Window Server 2008), and the website seems to have a problem with IIS7 I guess because when I run it on iE (8 & 11), the menu doesn’t look good, and the slider too, but when I run it on google chrome, in my local webserver, the problem goes away. Do you think it would be any solution to work something around it, because I need to run it in ie. I tried hosting it with goddady and doesn’t seem to have any of these problems. Any advice is appreciated thanks
If Javascript is an option you could use the modernizr library.
It backports the modern html and css that you are using to work on older browsers.
Without you posting any code or detailing your server configuration that's about all the advice that can be given.
When I run it on Internet Explorer my navigation bar, doesn't work properly and some other elements do not show. But with google chrome everything works good. In the beginning I thought it was a browser issue so I hosted with Goddady and it worked perfectly with ie8 - ie11. So it doesn't make it a browser issues, it something between ISS7 & Internet Explorer (because even with ie11 doesn't work). Thanks
I have a bit of a brain teaser. I am getting the attached server error when I load ANY page on my website. However, this ONLY happens in Firefox. Any other browser loads the page just fine. I have cleared my cache and have completely uninstalled and re-installed FireFox to no avail. Any idea why a server error would only show up in certain browsers? This is a windows based machine running IIS. I'm totally stumped. Thanks!
It's hard to see the exception type because the text is so small on you resized image.
Have you tried monitoring the request using Fiddler, or launching FF Dev tools (CTRL+SHIFT+I from FireFox)? Is there anything in that output that could reveal a clue?
I'm getting an error message of "The connection was reset" in Firefox on my ASP.NET site. Here are the details:
doesn't work in Firefox 11, 12, and 14 though appears to 3.6
happens everywhere on site where there's a postback
the message comes up in under a second after doing the POST
works in Chrome and IE
works locally
view state is relatively small
the pages are not performing long operations (e.g., file upload)
I've tried clearing the cache and running Firefox in safe mode, but it makes no difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Close all of your anti-virus software and restart your FF.

I'm getting a weird issue involving IIS and IE, and I'll try to describe it clearly.
I have a regular html-css-js/jquery website that I've developed locally. Now that it's ready, I'm trying to deploy it on a server.
Once it's hosted on the server, I see two problems in IE only:
The rendering is slightly different: there's a few pixels of additional white space all around my website (so the contents is actually more 'compressed' than when viewed locally).
Some JS issues: I'm using the Impromptu jQuery popup plug-in, and the callback I specify in its 'loaded' event pre-populates its forms fields. In FF it works, but in IE the fields don't get populated until I close the popup and open it again. This worked locally on all browsers.
As weird as it sounds, the text in my jQuery popup dialog does not seem to have the 'ClearType' technology applied. The text is like '1 pixel thin' and not anti-aliased like everywhere else.
I have uploaded my website to another server and it runs perfectly fine. The issue is that I need to put it on the first server and I don't know what's wrong. Both servers are on Win 2k3 with IIS 6, .NET 3.5.
Any pointers as to what is going wrong? Thanks a lot.
Make sure that the "security zone" in the Internet Explorer status bar is the same when viewing the site between the 2 servers.
Use the IE developer toolbar to debug your css. Could also be a caching issue if it looks like an older version.

I'm trying to fix a browser history issue. A customer of ours has a ASP.Net intranet page running for a while now. A colleague made it. Recently they asked to fix the "Back button" we made on their page (the application).
It looks at the sitemap and when clicked loads the parent page. However, in some situations I have to use "javascript:history.go(-1)". All worked fine on our test systems but when we deployed it on their test server it started to malfunctioned. We noticed that their production environment has the same problem.
Apparently all their machines (running IE) can only go back one page in the browser history. This is not intentional. We had one of their IT staff trying some other browsers and OS's. Apparently the problem (so far) only occurs when using IE. All other browsers they tested were fine. On my development system this problem doesn't occur. Also when I let someone else look at the site the problem doesn't occur either.
I have checked what their browser history length is set to and its 20 days. I tried searching here on stackoverflow but the only relevant answers concerning browser history didn't help.
How to clear browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome) history using JavaScript or Java except from browser itself?
Also pushing the back button (the one in IE), it only works for just one page back. There is no way we can navigate more than one page back.
How can I fix this?
Server: W2k3 R2 SP2
Clients: XP I guess / IE 8 mostly
This looks very much like a local configuration problem within your customer site and therefore unlikely to be seen elsewhere, as you've proved yourself. What you need to discover is how this could be restricted and SO isn't the place for that. You might want to try posting on SuperUser for further assistance.
