Edit website problem

[Logman]

Hi,

My girlfriend edits the website for the club she works at. She had her own PC but we switched to using just mine to save space at home. I use Mozilla and she uses IE so that we have our own setup.

She can't edit the sites content on my PC though - when opening a page in the sites built in admin editor none of the buttons (in the picture below) can be clicked - mouse-over does not cause them to highlight either.

Any ideas?

i'm surprised it's not the other way around...

so it works in firefox, but not in ie?

which version of ie are you using?

I updated to IE9 yesterday when getting it ready for her to use. Can't confirm if it was like that before the update as I never used it...

I just logged into the site on Mozilla to be sure and it works fine.

hmm, ie9 may be your problem...

sorry, i haven't done the ie9 thing yet - does it have an ie8 compatibility mode, or similar?

Nice catch !!!

It had a compatibility view option in the options menu.

Thanks for the help man

definitely have her check the coding and make sure she has all the right browser specific codes for everything. FF and IE need a few tweeks in the code to get it to work with both browser types. As a web designer this is a pain in the ass, but it is sometimes necissary.
