Oops! Internet Explorer fail on iBaguio.com fixed!
While playing around with various alternatives to Google AdSense at iBaguio.com, I inadvertedly broke the site’s compatibility with almost all flavors of Internet Explorer. I never bothered to check rendering issues with Microsoft’s maligned web browser after adding some of the html/js code required by Bidvertiser, ExitJunction, and AdBrite. Turns out all of the code had an amusing effect of crashing Internet Explorer instantly when site visitors open the website. I would have been quite content to leave the unintended effect on my hated browser intact, but I just couldn’t turn my back on 55% of iBaguio.com’s visitors who use this antiquated PoS. Firefox, Safari and Chrome seemed to do just fine with the site with all those JavaScript/js codes all over the XHTML.
After much trial and error, removing and debugging several scripts and code, it turns out it was the ad codes from ExitJunction that was causing the Internet Explorer crashes. The code has been removed and iBaguio.com is once again happily viewable by our technologically-challenged Windows users.
Hmmm, I think I’ll intentionally place some malevolent JS code up on the Baguio City website when the percentage of IE users drop to 25%.
