Upload in progress image frozen on IE

Jens · October 8th, 2006, 01:09 PM

I have had v. 5.5 installed. The "upload in progrmess" image shown during upload is static in IE but works nicely in Firefox. Is this an IE bug or possibly a bug in my installation?

The image itself is an animated gif so the issue would seem to be related to IE. what version are you using maybe they disallow animated gifs

Jens · October 8th, 2006, 04:11 PM

My IE is v. 6.0 - the url you reference in your reply shows an animated gif in my browser, yet the upload gif is static - hm...

Try making an html file and place something like this in the file and load it in your browser and see what happens. Replace my image call with your image

Code:

I've done that but cannot be seen.

See:

Nothing can be seen in the htm and php files.

I'm using IE7 Beta 2

I can see it now. Just upload the "indicator.gif" file into the following folder:

I did this, and IE (and Front Page) will show this image's animation if I remove the "display" code. But with "display: none" in place the image is not visible.

Michael P · October 9th, 2006, 07:23 AM

It wouldn't be displayed until you hit submit; the display none is to hide it until then.

Jens · October 9th, 2006, 07:30 AM

Hm - any thoughts on what may be the matter? Btw IE allows animation and will show it.

Chuck S · October 9th, 2006, 09:27 AM

As Michael states it only shows when you hit submit

Jens · October 9th, 2006, 09:32 AM

Well - in PhotoPost this image is static all the way through, alas - although I see for instance the spinning image in this forum quite without problems.

On Mac/Safari it shows a blue ?box

Chuck S · October 10th, 2006, 08:00 AM

We have no ability to test on a MAC mjm sorry you can always post a screenshot

mjm · October 10th, 2006, 12:40 PM

Attachment included
I've not tried the suggestion in a previous post, just pointing out that it is not working on MAC/Safari
Will need to try it out on IE

Chuck S · October 10th, 2006, 01:31 PM

You sure you have the image uploaded? That looks to me like Safari's I can not find the image icon

mjm · October 10th, 2006, 03:52 PM

Uploaded the images folder and works like a charm now.

fyi this wasn't included in the upgrade instructions.

Cheers,
Mark

How about you all who are using IE 6: Do you see the spinning image, or do you not?

mjm · October 10th, 2006, 04:41 PM

I tried uploading using IE 5.2.3 on a MAC
(that's the highest version Microsoft supports for a MAC)

... and the spinning image didn't work - see attachment

FYI for anyone using vB3.6.2, MAC users on IE will not be able to log in to your forums without This fix

...I never did with IE6 and I still don't with IE7. Did you ever get a fix for this?

I just tried starting an upload here and here too the animation is not animated for me even after hitting submit.

I've done various tests and all animations seem to work fine apart from those with the display:none instruction in front of them, they don't display for me as animations with or without hitting submit.

I thought it might be some sort of style problem but as it doesn't work for me on this site as well as my own I guess I need something to use in place of display:none

Hello Steve - no, there has been no fix, the image is still frozen.
