[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Some of you may recall that I have had a lot of problems with several on-line galleries including Smugmug, which refused to go away.This meant that I couldn't see images put up by anyone using Smugmug under Firefox...they just hung trying to load I believe that I have finally found the (a?) solution courtesy of Google maps and US rental site VRBO.com. I offer this as it is without any liability...there is a warning on one of the google pages which begins "Here be dragons"...Proceed at your own risk!!!! IF YOUR BROWSER DOESN'T OFFER THESE OPTION WHEN YOU GET TO THE "image" PAGE DO ***NOT *** GO ANY FURTHER [ NOTE: Toggling in this case is done by right-clicking and selecting from the menu ] ---------------------- Issues while using Firefox or other browsers Reconfiguring the way your browser handles JavaScript may resolve this problem. If you are running Mozilla Firefox 0.8+ or Netscape 7.1+ on Windows or Mac OS X, follow these steps: 1. Type "about:config" (without quotes) in the browser's address bar. 2. Type "image" (without quotes) in the Filter field. 3. Look for the field "dom.disable_image_src_set" and verify that the value is set to FALSE. 4. Look for the field "network.image.imageBehavior" is set to 0 (the default setting). In some browsers, this setting may be named "permissions.default.image". If you continue to experience difficulties, you may want to uninstall any programs or extensions that change the way your browser handles JavaScript. Other users have reported that these programs may affect the ability to view the maps. If you're encountering a problem where the map fails to load and the status is stuck on " loading...," there may be an issue with your Skype extension. To test, try this link: http://www.google.com/mapfiles/skype_bug.html If the link provided above doesn't provide an answer, either disable this extension or update your Skype extension to the latest version.
