Howdy,

VeoWeb needs a JavaScript enabled person to fix up all those nasty errors that often appear on our site(VeoWeb.net (http://www.veoweb.net)).
Please email me bens@veoweb.net if you would like the job.

P.S. Please remove if this post shall not be posted here.

Not sure what you are referring to Ben? Tried some pages using IE 4.x and Netscape 4.75 (have JS Debuggers for both) yet no error messages were returned.

Looking at the code, all I could see is where the following should be changed:

<script language="JavaScript">

...

</script>

to

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--

...

// -->
</script>

Of course <noscript></noscript> might be benificial to add as well.

Do you have a specific page you could point me to?

Hi Rob,

The only error I ever see is the nav bar on top sometimes loading incorrectly, or not at all. That is the only error I ever saw. However others have told me that often the sites gives them JavaScript errors, though I have yet to seen them.

Thanks for the tip!

It is true that when using IE, there is a bit of "bounce" as the page goes to the bottom, then back to the top. The "bounce" action will vary according to the connection speed and whether or not the page is already in the cache.

If you are not already, you might want to load the top Navigation bar as a SSI and see if that helps. If you are using it, you would have to decide if the Management hassle of having it hard-coded into the pages, would be worth the change.

Good point about the SSI there. I'll send that onto the guy who designed the site for his feedback.

Thanks for all your help.
