Internet Explore 9 beta

I clicked on the link on the help resources page where it said that the site was optimized for the latest versions, and was taken to this page http://www.microsoft.com/windo...xplorer/default.aspx which is for 8(Since I was there I went ahead and downloaded the 8--been putting it off until they worked out all the bugs! lol) I had to actually take some time to locate where to download the BETA of ie 9 (there was a link off on the sidebar to try it if I dared.) I'm sure when IE 9 is out of beta auctiva will update the link to take you to download it, but the one I found to click on still takes me to IE 8 only. I'm curious where on the site did you find the link that took you directly to download the 9? That would NOT be cool to send people to download a program that isn't functioning

Hi, Yes was easy. On my Auctiva listing page, clicked on the 'HELP' tab at top right. That took me to 'Auctiva Help Resources' page. At bottom of that page on left was the 'Latest Browsers' Clicked on IE8 but it came up as IE9 beta. So I downloaded that as i thought it was the done thing. Funny thing is, I've just gone through the proceedure again (though not actually downloading it) but when it opens the IE9 page, it actually says IE8 on the tab at the top of page opened. The page is operational but not set out properly. Best regards, John

Unfortunately, the page we link to that you downloaded from is a Microsoft controlled page and they control what is pushed to users who go there to downloading Internet Explorer.

BTW I just tried out our lister page with IE 9 and it opened fine with IE9 beta provided that I was also using the new version of the HTML Editor. If you use the old editor, it doesn't work in IE9. You can switch to the new editor on your Account Preferences page...look under Listing Management at the 'Default Editor on One-page lister' and click the checkbox that says 'Use Design Editor v2.0 (beta).

We are testing Auctiva with the IE9 beta, but since its a beta its a bit of a moving target.

Thankyou for the advice. I have now changed over to your Design Editor v2.0(beta) and it looks good. The listing page is now loading all good and I'm tempted to do some listings today. (though my policy is not to do 'work stuff' on the weekend). But seriously, thankyou for your help. Best regards, John
