Can you pull up chicagohighlands.com on IE and tell me what that error and formatting problem is all about.

I don't know how long the problem has existed because I never use IE and no one has reported the problem to me. I recently installed JCE 2.1.3.

Hi
The page loads for me in IE but before it does I do get to see an error listed. The page flashes through so fast I can not copy it plus it is hard to read. The error does relate to the "rockbox" plugin. Try disabling it to see if the problem goes away.
Regards
Mark

I disabled it but it had no effect.

Does the page load properly for you, compared to Firefox?

Hi
This is the error message that I get.
Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in /home/hills/public_html/plugins/system/rokbox.php on line 102
The site does not display properly in IE. It is trying to display the top banner in the left hand column - so it is displayed low down below the menu.

Hi Quincy,

You might try running the page through a validating service such as www.w3schools.com/web/web_validate.asp

And look for and correct the errors there. Also who developed the template? If it's commercial, they probably have a solution.

I validated that page and don't really understand the output as it relates to my files - the errors don't exist where it says they do

Hi Quincy,

Whenever you see "deprecated", it basically means the function no longer works for that version. My guess is that previously you were on PHP 5.2 and then once you updated (or your host updated) your server to PHP 5.3, the error appeared.

Check out the following API documentation:
php.net/manual/en/function.ereg-replace.php

My guess is that using the latest version of RokBox (make sure you make a backup before updating), would fix the issue as they've likely updated the extension for PHP 5.3 by now.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi Quincy, also those page validation errors show that you don't have a proper closing tag on the link to the style sheet. IE is very picky about closing tags. That line will be in your index.php.

Thanks gentlemen - I had not disabled the system rokbox, which solved the problem.
