I am trying to complete a link exchange with someone but when they visit the directory to see their listing, they are getting a blank area where the links are supposed to be. I can see the links.

They sent me a screen shot and sure enough, they have the right web address and everything shows up as it should, except for the link listings.

{non working url removed}

Any ideas?

Hi there

I also get a blank page.... viewing the page source makes me wonder if your Google ad box or link-exchange scripts are over-writing the directory text, or causing it not to appear....

If I remember correctly, don't scripts have to be enclosed in a certain tag in Smarty?? There was something about this a while back on the forums - give me a minute, and I'll have a look for you

Right, found it.. check out this (http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=90&highlight=literal) post.

You need to enclose the javascript in {literal}{/literal} tags.... this way it will be executed properly

Give this a go, and it should work!

Is it strange that I can see the links ok?

Hmmm... yeah probably but I don't know enough about Smarty to say whether it may appear different to different browsers if not coded exactly how it should...

Maybe someone else can help??

The other person that could not see the content was using Mozilla Firefox.

I added the {literal}{/literal} tags around the google code. Would you please check again and see if the content is visible or not?

Thanks,

Mandy

Hmm... I see the directory as it should be in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox, which is what I normally use.

The only thing that seems wrong from the page source is that where you have


<td>

The <td> should actually be a <tr>

Am I wrong with this?

Having said that, I can't see that error (if it is one and I am not being stupid) causing the problem....

I'm getting a blank in Firefox, but not Internet Explorer.
There is probably to missing table related tag.

Quite possibly :oops: I could use a few lessons on tables. I added the table row <tr>.

Try again please?

Done. Can anyone see the content from a Mozilla Firefox browser?
