What's up with CP? [Solved]
-
CP doesn't recognize my browser as IE 6. :( (No dynamic view - which is driving me crazy!) Should I worry about my IE installation again, or are other experiencing the same problems? Update: Apparently I had some garbage in the IE registry settings which affects the UserAgent string. It turned out it was the Avant Browser, that I briefly tested a long time ago, had left crud in the registry. I noticed it by loading http://www.codeproject.com/script/misc/browsercheck.asp[^] as Chris suggested. I searched the registry for my particular "garbage" string and removed it. It turned out Avant Browser left a lot of crap in the registry. So, if you get these errors, load the browser check and see if your UserAgent string is polluted. Clean if needed. My guess is that Chris has been rewriting the user agent parsing stuff. :) -- Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein.
I had the same thing happen this morning at home. :(

All the "IEn+" versions are set to False! When/how the heck did that happen? On another computer, where things work right, they're all set to true. Good grief. Marc Latest AAL Article My blog Join my forum!

Server Web4 Browser avant browser Gecko False Version 0 Crawler False UserAgent Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Avant Browser [avantbrowser.com]; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) IE3+ False IE4+ False IE5+ False IE6+ False Netscape False NS4+ False NS6/Mozilla1 False Opera6+ False I'm starting to wonder if the browser = avant browser is the bad boy. But that doesn't make much sense since it was like a year ago I tried avant browser, and it worked 24 hrs ago. I'll see if I can rectify this avant browser-thing. -- Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein.

I removed the "avant browser" string from IE registry settings. Reloaded browsercheck and got: Server Web4 Browser ie Gecko False Version 6 Crawler False UserAgent Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) IE3+ True IE4+ True IE5+ True IE6+ True Netscape False NS4+ False NS6/Mozilla1 False Opera6+ False And guess what? It works properly now :) -- Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein.

Yeah, I removed it from the registry too. (local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentVersion\Internet settings\User agent\Post Platform), IE started working. As soon as I reloaded avant browser, it set it back! And of course, things stopped working. :( Marc Latest AAL Article My blog Join my forum!

I love this line in the Avant FAQ: Does Avant Browser modify settings of Internet Explorer? The end-user is able to user Avant Browser to modify the home page and bookmarks of Internet Explorer. But Avant Browser doesn't modify other settings of Internet Explorer, though there are internet settings that may be modified such as the browser identification string. Well? Does it or doesn't it modify other IE setting?!?!?! This is annoying. I really like the product. Why did Chris change the server detection so that all of a sudden it now matters??? Or is does this have nothing to do with the servers? As usual, there are at least two sides to every problem. Grrr. Marc Latest AAL Article My blog Join my forum!
