sort display problem

Ahmed,\ \ On many pages, I see the following:\ Sort by: Photo | Title | Price | Bids | Time Left?lt;A HREF="http://novelbid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?action=Browse&Search=Category&Status=1&Sorted=1&Sort=E&Dir=1&Page=1&Cat_ID=1&Lang=English">\ \ It seems that whichever word is selected (i.e., Photo, Title, Price, etc), there is a long string of the cgi program content displayed right after that word. Is this a bug? How can I get rid of it?\ \ Also, there are a lot of "?lt;br>" displayed as well. How do I get rid of these?\ \ Thanks,\ \ mightypat

Re: sort display problem

You seems messed up some links on the template, restore the listing template.

Thanks, but that is not it

Ahmed,\ \ I re-uploaded the listing template. However, it was still showing the same thing. You helped me install the site, and I haven't really made any change to it.\ \ Thanks,\ \ mightypat

Re: sort display problem

Nothing changes by itself, compare your's with our demo. Anyway, check the language variables you changed, try to restore from our demo, or if you have not made changes as you said, then just restore the language file General.

Re: sort display problem

Ahmed,\ \ I restored the original language file General. Still didn't work. Can I buy one hour custom program and have you fix this for me?\ \ Thanks,\ \ mightypat

Re: sort display problem

Actually, I just checked your demo. Your demo has the same problem. Just click on "antiques & arts", and you will see what I am talking about.\ \ Thanks,\ \ mightypat

Re: sort display problem

mightypat \ \ i don't see what you're talking about either so the problem must be within your computers operating system or browser.

Re: sort display problem

Ahmed,\ \ Thanks for your response. I couldn't get back to you on this because I was away for a couple of weeks for my new born son, but now I am back.\ \ Anyway, I have checked the demo on mewsoft.com with two computers of mine. Computer A displayed everything fine. Computer B displayed something funky. Attached please see image #1. I am not sure why my computer B is doing this. It is using the standard IE 6.0. Anyway, I believe this is a problem of my computer B (although it would be bad if there are thousands of people who have similar computers)\ I then tried to display the listing page on my site, and both computer displayed something even funkier. It looks like some of the "<" is replaced by "?It;". I am not sure how this happened. I tried to look for the corrupted code in the listing template as well as the classes, but I couldn't find where these corrupted "<"s might be. I don't think my listing template is corrupted (I looked thru it, and everything looks good. In addition, I have replaced it).\ Can you shed some light on where I can find this corrupted "<"?\ \ Thanks,\ \ mightypat

Re: sort display problem

I have found out the problem with my computer B. It has to do with the "encoding" inside my IE. This problem is going away now.\ \ However, I still need your help to identify where to change the "<" from "?It;" to fix all the "?It;" problem (this is what is causing the display to be giberish. I tried but couldn't find it.\ \ Thanks,\ \ mightypat
