X3Photo Gallery Forums

When I use the code shown, the link works fine in firefox but hangs in IE8. I searched for a solution and saw a similar mention that said use a new version of the .swf. I am using the newest download of everything, including the suggested .swf. It had no affect.

Related, but not as important... when I see "self" mentioned in the forum as code I often see it as "SELF". I experimented and upper case doesn't work in this case so if you could clear this up it would be appreciated.
Thanks, G

The short answer:

use "asfunction:_root.link," attatched to where one would normally use "#/content/blah/blah/" and end up with "asfunction:_root.link,#/content/blah/blah/".

So in my case the following worked : For your information, this seems to apply to links in text pages (verified), each of the "special image links" (including purchase) (verified).

So, If you have a problem with a link, check it across browsers, then see if this "solution" works for you.

Side note:

I found the answer in a standlone obscure msg marked "X2 announcements ~ New methology for internal links"

So, is this considered fixed or a workaround? Is this related or not related to the "backbutton" and/or "useswfaddress" issues that also in IE8?

Default behavior of internal links? I suspect that you are talking about what you intend the link to be used for rather than what the link "value" is itself.

I believe this IS a real problem. However, it is not a serious one since I a have worked around it. The problem occurs when one uses the internal link in the "purchase" link. I read your previous comment in another msg some of your thoughts on this, however, since options are somewhat limited in this area, I change the name to "Pricing" and have the internal link neatly go to pricing sheets for various sizes. It's a much better use for the option.
