Blinc doesn't work with Firefox browser - BASE Jumping

February 19th, 2005

Anyone ever tried opening blincmagazine.com with the ever-growingly popular Firefox browser? It doesn't work, it just displays the HTML text. Also, the store never works (with IE or Firefox). I've only been coming here for a couple of weeks and I've never been able go open it up without errors.

Right, it doesn't work with firefox. This is the only page I have had that problem with so it is my homepage on IE. Don't know how to fix it.

I'm pretty sure Mick shut the store down a while back. If you search old posts you can find the discussion.

Not being a Firefox user, I can't say what's going on there.

even on the page www.blincmagazine.com?? I have found mozilla / firefox cant do anything with this apart from show the page source. I have spent some time searching around coders websites trying to find why this is, I have also used several "check your code" sites to see if they say why the page is not compatible with mozilla but to no avail...........

Maybe some techie mofo can shed light on this.............. or at least find out easier than me why it is so..............

Phuck, it shows just source page on www.blincmagazine.com Looks like I just can read forum page. :-/

The server is incorrectly serving the shtml pages on the site as "text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1". IE overlooks this problem (even though it shouldn't) and displays the page as rendered html.

Adding the following line to the header of all the shtml pages on the site should fix the problem:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />

Hope that works!

Hello Admin,

your server is not configured correctly,
the content type for .shtml is setup to text/plain (wrong!)
You need to modify your httpd.conf

just remove this line:
AddType text/plain .shtml

and add:
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

If you're looking to just go to the forum pages here on Mozilla follow that link. I am on it now.

Hi,

This remark is still valid, nothing has changed so far. Looks like your hosting provider isn't helping out, or what?
