+Pontiac_CZ Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I have just come across the cache Zidovsky cintorin v Beckove. Weird thing is that I am not able to click on "Log geocache", "Watch" or "Ignore" links in the right hand column of the page. It seems to open fine in IE, does it happen only in Firefox (51.0.1) or in other browsers as well? And what is the cause of this behavior? Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I see the same in FF, none of the links in the right hand column work. In IE the behaviour is erratic, I've seen the trackables links work sometimes and not others. Interestingly when I copied the cache page URL to my IE browser where I wasn't logged in, and so got the login banner rather than the cache page details the right portion of the page also seemed to be broken.

+MartyBartfast Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) I think this is because of the following (in bold) which is appended to the end of the cache description:- <span id="ctl00_ContentBody_LongDescription"><p>Cintorín je cestou rozdelený na dve časti. Staršia časť cintorína sa rozprestiera na východnej strane hradného svahu. Nachádza sa tam približne 80 náhrobníkov. Mladšie náhrobníky sa nachádzajú v časti cintorína situovanej priamo pri vstupe na hrad. Nachádza sa tu približne sto stojacich, ale hlavne pováľaných náhrobníkov z kvalitnejších materiálov ako mramor a žula pochádzajúcich zo začiatku 20.storočia až po 2. Svetovú vojnu. Nachádzame medzi nimi náhrobníky v tvare jednoduchej stély, monumentálneho mramorového kvádra, prípadne s motívom gotického okna. Cintorín je od roku 1991 vedený v zozname slovenských kultúrnych pamiatok.</p> <a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a><a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a> <a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a><a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a> <a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a><a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a> <a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a><a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a> <a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a><a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a> <a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a><a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a> <a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a><a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a> <a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a><a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a> <a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a><a name="fancybox-right" style="display:inline;" id="fancybox-right"></a></span> Edited February 3, 2017 by MartyBartfast Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Using firefox, with or without Greasemonkey on, I too see the right side, but all links are broken. Agree with MartyBartfast, this is likely due to the "fancybox-right" html. I added it to an unpublished cache of mine, (just one iteration of it, from a anchor to /a anchor) and get the same behavior. Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 A NM (click here) seems to be appropriate. Hans Quote Link to comment
+Mausebiber Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 but all links are broken No, they are not. If you use your keyboard rather than the mouse you can scroll thru the various menu options using the tab key. At the bottom left side of the screen you can see the links, just tab until you see https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?ID=4337303&lcn=1 Now all you have to do is click "Enter" I have seen something like this before, where someone was trying to hide the public profile by just overlaying a transparent picture over the "clickable" options. Again, the "tab-key" is the solution. Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 but all links are broken No, they are not. Semantics. While the links themselves are still valid, they can't be clicked on in the standard way. That would seem to fit the description "broken". I checked a few of the CO's other hides and they haven't done the same thing on those, so I expect this was inadvertent. They're active, so I'd suggest firing off an email pointing out the problem and letting them know that removing all the "fancybox" lines from their description will fix it. Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Also, the fancybox stuff is all part of the Geocaching.com stylesheets, so it could be a bug on the website so why not report it via the contact us link? Even if it is a mistake by the CO (maybe over enthusiastic use of the copy & paste from some code snipped) GS might remove it. Quote Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 [...] I'm seeing the right side of the page just fine. Firefox 51.0.1 also B. The issue isn't not seeing the column but not being aible to click on it and get a link. Hans I am seeing the same behavior (clicking the links doesn't do anything) with Chrome (Version 55.0.2883.87) Although rolling over the link turns the mouse pointer to a "hand", the links don't change color as they do on cache pages that are working.

+MartyBartfast Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Just discovered that the fancybox overlay is static, so if you zoom the page out far enough then the links on the right will slide out from beneath the overlay and will become active. On this image the section highlighted in blue is the offending overlay, and I've zoomed out to the point where the right side links are only half under it, so clicking on the part of the link that is not covered will work.

+hzoi Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I must have a wide display, as the links juuust barely work along their left edges. Quote Link to comment
