where #*$!.php is the secure Tectite form processor.
Some of my customers are having problems.
When I test on the live page, the IE8 pop-up blocker appears when I click on a drop-down field to choose a value.
I am running IE8 as an standard MS upgrade and IE7 from IE7 Standalone (also IE6 and 5.5 from Mutiple IE), so my setup is not like my customers.
Can someone confirm that the drop-down behaviour as described did not occur in IE7?
And that a machine with just IE8 is breaking simple forms as described? (eg at amazon, the search drop-down).
I was going to comment on the IE8 pop-up blocker but I can't now say whether it is working correctly because of the other IEs.
On one computer (let's call it #1) the pop-up blocker gets triggered by every drop-down select form. This happens EVEN WHEN POP-UP BLOCKING IS DISABLED, and even for the most well know international corporate websites.
The other computer (#2) shows no such behavior. The only difference I can find so far is that #1 is running XP Pro and #2 is running XP Home.
---UPDATE---
I just found an answer. This IS a bug that appears when running multiple IE versions on the same computer. Some multiple IE downloads have recently fixed the bug in their latest download.
This same conflict also causes the Internet Tools - Advanced tab to be blank.
I would like to return to this and get it worked out.
I am looking at your post and not sure how to respond. We are both running multiple IEs unlike our customers. There may be some evidence from customers in my logs re Home and Pro.
I have disabled one check on the obligatory field (client-side javascript) but kept another (tectite php on the server).
If you like, we can arrange a time-span when I disable the php check and enable the javascript. Then I can let you know how to access the site and enter the form. No URL required, just a search term.
From their changelog for the May 1, 2009 build:
