I have a weird problem. It doesn't make any sense. Here is the deal.

This is inside the frame on another website. But this computer can't seem to pull it up. I have installed 3 different browsers, javaruntime, and flash. Nothing fixes it.

I can try this link on any other computer on my network and it works just fine. There are no firewalls or filtering. So what would block IE, Opera, and Mozilla from pulling up this page? I can also ping the address.

http://dewb.myspace.com/html.ng/site=my ... hoolpage=0

Oh, and when I view source this page on the computer that can see it, I just get the html code to show the picture, and thats it.

That's pretty weird. What's the response when you try to load the page? What happens exactly?

Did you say that only your computer fails to display, or all computers? If all, then it may be that either the container site blocks external links, or the hosting site blocks embedding of its images on an external site. Many sites disable "hot linking" of their images from third-party locations because of the bandwidth drain.

Would you like to link us to the website with the frame that displays this problem?

the website is www.myspace.com Its the frame above the login box. I wouldnt care, but all the media players are also on those subdomains so I can't see them either.

All other computers on my network can see it, just not mine. What is wierd is all three browsers I use cannot see it.

I went to the home page and tried that box you mentioned. It went to www.myspace.com/instyleyourlook. But that box changes on each visit.

I know it changes. But I can't see it at all.

Here, go to this page, put the address into the box, and click go. It will show you the response code and headers, and maybe if you post those we can figure it out.

Here's what I get -

Code:

response code - 200

In firefox it does nothing. I tried the page in IE and I get an error. No matter what address I put into the field I get error on

Line:11
Char: 3
Error: 'netscape' is undefined

That's right! I forgot about IE7. Ok, try now.

Ok, we're getting closer.

Put in the full URL, including "http://".

Wouldn't it be nice if any of the major browsers came with a "view headers" or "view full response" button? But no.

I get in the error box:

Line: 12
Char:
Error: Permission denied
Code:0
URL: http://homeportgloucester.org/ajaxresponse.html

I get that to everything I put in. With or without the http://

Hmm. Well, apparently IE7 is just too "secure" to do something crazy and dangerous like navigate to a URL.

I guess if you want to see what's going on, you'll have to install a web developer plugin. There's this, for firefox -

I'd guess that you don't have the Java plug-in for Firefox. The errors you get in IE may indicate that you're still using Microsoft's old Java version instead of Sun's version. Microsoft lost the right to distribute 'current' versions of Java because they strayed too far from Sun's spec. and they got spanked for it. Firefox will not use Microsoft's old version of Java(default for XP) in anycase.

Note that upgrading your Java version will have no effect on loading the MySpace content.

Huh? None of this has anything to do with Java.
