#37469 [Opn]: talks.php.net: "Please use a browser that works"

ID: 37469 User updated by: vincent at delau dot nl Reported By: vincent at delau dot nl Status: Open Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: WinXP Pro / MSIE 7b2 PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Maybe this is the problem that needs to be fixed: Line 17&18 of the outputted HTML: document.cookie="dims="+winW+"_"+winH; location.reload(false); These lines could/should be removed. The document.cookie is only set, never retrieved as far as I can tell. It is never used again in the HTML or the JavaScript anyway. The location.reload() doesn't seem to have a real function either. Maybe it was used to update the cookie? Is there a reference to the cookie in PHP? Tested in IE7b2, and Firefox 1.5.0.3 from local HTML files. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-17 11:03:02] vincent at delau dot nl The main line here is, that a more descriptive or helpfull error message might be in place. It should have nothing to do with IE 7 being beta. PHP doesn't give an error message "Please buy a PHP book" instead of the helpfull, descriptive messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-17 03:59:38] rasmus@php.net I have neither the time nor the motivation to make this stuff work with IE. And IE7 specifically has all sorts of nasty memory leaks still. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-17 02:00:12] vincent at delau dot nl Description: ------------ While visiting http://talks.php.net/show/acc_php/24, it told me: "Please use a browser that works" without any further explaination. I've got two points: - Why is my browser "not working"? - Why is there not a complete explaination of the problem and (pointers to) a solution. What is 'a browser that works'? Reproduce code: --------------- I'm using IE7 beta 2 for my day to day browsing at the moment. Fortunately, Firefox is also installed for cross-browser checking of websites. Expected result: ---------------- Normal display of requested page or a helpfull error message explaining why this is happening and how to solve the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37469&edit=1
