Anyone using IE6?

[Adams_16v]

If so could you please look at this link for me and tell me if it works ok...

I have tried at work on 3 machines in IE6 and all is fine. IE7 all good, FF all good.

Tried it at home in IE6 and the map doesnt load properly (no satelite images at all and blank normal map view) and there is also an error on the page.

Cant understand why it would be so different at work to at home.

Any feedback would be apreciated, cheers!

Works fine for me, the map first says, "Sorry no imagery for this zoom" but if I type my postcode into the directions bit the map changes to a view of how to get to there address. No error messages for me.

Cheers for your help!

IE is soooooooo fukin shite! lol

seems to be wokring fine on the majority, it doesnt work on my pc at home, but it works on my mates with the exact same version of IE.

172beast says it shows the map as not available at this zoom level which shoudnt be right! Cant understand why its so different via the SAME fookin browser! lol

I get a JS alert in Safari - "The given key is either invalid or does not match the domain for which it was given. Error code: 610".

Nice looking site, just needs a splash of mod_rewrite to loose those dynamic page extensions!

 

[Adams_16v]

hmmm thats weird, not seen that one. key should be valid!

what do you mean about the page extensions mate?

 

[Red Cup]

The .php extensions. This indicates to Google that the pages are dynamic and subject to change. .htm or directory based URLs are seen as static and therefore less likely to change so rank better.

They also hide the page scripting language so offer better security, and are easier to remember.

For example you could rewrite:

/holiday-cottage-in-norfolk/map-directions.php

as:

/holiday-cottage-in-norfolk/map-directions/

With something like this:

RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)/?$ /$1/$2.php  [L,NC]

Which would work for all your URLs in the format /[propertyname]/[pagename]/

Ideally you wouldn't even have physical pages, just one control page that does everything depending on the URL passed to it:

RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)/?$ /pagecontroller.php?property=$1&page=$2  [QSA,L,NC]

ah got ya. ill pass, not majorly important for this site.

i thought google liked pages that had changing content, shows that the site is regularly updated and in use.
