    Website Errors on this Sites Main Menu

    Just was surfing around a bit and notice that the link for Support and the Link for Resource don't seems quite right

    Support - httP;//forum.dvdfab.com/support.htm returns a 404

    Resource - http://forum.dvdfab.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=7 - opens the page your currently veiwing

    Minor stuff, just pointing it out.

    If you are talking about the links in the black bar near the top of the page, they are links to the DVDFab website, not really part of the forum. The one you posted about newthread opens an edit box for a new thread in the General Chat forum. Where is that link?

      Below I've post the exact html that is rendering the links

      PHP Code:
      <li class="has"><a href="/support.htm">Support</a
      Would work as expected if it were rendered like this.
      PHP Code:
      <li class="has"><a href="http://www.dvdfab.com/support.htm">Support</a
      The Resource link code uses a herf=# which is a valid link but only to an anchor with the name # because there is no anchor on the page with that name it simply load the page your on. If you open it in a new tab it will load the page your on in that tab.

      PHP Code:
      <li class="has"><a href="#">Resource</a
      This is better written as
      PHP Code:
      <li class="has"><a name="Resource">Resource</a
      Thats a valid anchor with out the link. So if a user clicks it nothing happens.

        The issues continue with Products Sub menus

        The Products menu points to - www.dvdfab.com
        Sorry but thats the Home page link, it should point to - www.dvdfab.com/products.htm

        The Copy Tools, Conversion Toolsand Passkey menu items are all also using the href=# method. Changing the hypertext reference to a name anchor prevents page reloads when a user clicks on them. They are simply used as a sub menu place holder. This is minor though and there are several other methods out there that are better than using the herf=# method for a menu/sub menu place holder. IMHO

        Not until you reach the Free Tools do the links work as expected.

          The web people that do the website made that banner, I'm sure they can get it fixed. I have called it to their attention. Doesn't really effect the operation of the forum, but thanks for the report.

              Thanks. In the future, please just send me a private message if you find an error on the site. I do not find any errors in the forum operation.
