Question

I have a page that grabs values from the query string using javascript window.location. This works fine when run from a webserver but if I run it locally using IE6 by putting this in the address bar

c:\mysite\index.htm

Any query strings the site creates get lost and window.location just contains the location upto .htm.

I realize the example above has no query string but that page links off to pages that do. This also fails when running from a network share e.g \\server\mysite\index.htm. It seems to work fine in IE7+ and only fails in IE6.

Any ideas it’s driving me crazy.

Edit : I’ve jsut realised this is happening on a modal window does that make any difference?

Answer 1

It seems that IE6 disregards any querystrings when running locally on modal windows. Got around the problem by passing the variables into the modal window as dialog arguments rather than querystrings.
