IE6 Problems - eBay, britishairways.com etc.

[Andy Kirkland]

Hi,

I am having a severe headache with IE6 on my laptop...

I cannot load britishairways.com at all - the page downloads (I can see it
in view source), but it never displays - the progess bar shows that there is
stuff to be done still and it never loads up!

With eBay, if I try and sign in when I click "submit", the page just waits
and waits - no error messages, nothing.

I have Googled for ages trying to find a solution but to no avail.

Annoyingly, the desktop PC on my network can do the eBay thing fine, but
also has the britishairways.com problem.

I am using WinXP Pro SP1. IE6 6.0.2800.1106 on an IBM Thinkpad A31p. The
problems occur whether I am docked, using WiFi or even on dial up.

Anyone got any ideas???

Andy

What shows in your Address bar?

FWIW I get this (note the trailing underscore):

Try changing your Security settings to prompts to see what clues
you can get that way. E.g. I saw a prompt about scripting being safe
before the Address bar changed.

Delete the cookie for that site and set prompts for cookies too
(in Privacy tab, Advanced dialog).

If you start with britishairways.com you will have a Cookie for it
and also one for www.britishairways.com

If you still need help please describe your results in detail.
Remember your words have to substitute for what our eyes
might notice.


Good luck
