Overview Description: --------------------- I installed MediaWiki 1.4.2 and after configuration opened the main page, and it worked. After opening a second browser, it hangs. Steps to Reproduce: ------------------- 1) Close all MSIE windows. 2) Open one and go to MediaWiki: http://myhost.idea-factory.net:10443/ifswiki/ 3) Open a new windows (without closing the other). And now the second windows hangs. Actual Results: --------------- The application hangs like if it was waiting on something. Expected Results: ----------------- The application should render the main page. Build Date & Platform: ---------------------- MediaWiki 1.4.2 under Linux uname -a Linux quinsadb2 2.4.21-4.EL #1 Fri Oct 3 18:13:58 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Additional Information: ----------------------- My MSIE version is: 6.0.2800.1106 with SP1; Q837251 Possible Fix: ------------- This is how I fixed it. The problem appears to be on the skins/MonoBook.php file, I changed this: <a style="background-image: url(<?php $this->text('logopath') ?>); for this: <a ...><img src="<?php $this->text('logopath') ?>" border="0"> Also I'm using my own image instead of the wiki.png one. So the fix was to use tag img instead of url inside a style and to use another image instead of wiki.png. That's all, thanks, Diego
It does not reproduce on Firefox (I'm using 0.9.2).
I'm guessing this is because of the ActiveX filter being used to let IE deal with alpha-transparency in PNG images properly; maybe it's more trouble than it's worth?
I didn't try this on a local install of MediaWiki, but trying en.wikipedia I am unable to reproduce the behavior you describe. I'm running IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519 on WinXP SP2. Is there perhaps something in IE6 SP2 that makes a difference here?
