I was having some problems trying to get the Rolling Archives to work properly and have been spending the last several hours attempting to fix it. Then, I found out that it was only my computer that was having the problem. I should have figured this out because the AJAX (it’s basically super advanced Javascript) would work in IE7 but not Firefox. This made me really sad since I really don’t want to go back to IE after all the extensions and time I’ve put into customizing my computer’s Firefox. Then, I found out that if I use the Web Developer extension and Disable Cache, the AJAX works just peachy.
So, here’s the breakdown. That searchbar up there, you just type in what you want to search for and it will search on it’s own. Go ahead, type in something, but don’t press enter. See? Cool, isn’t it?
How do you know AJAX isn’t working on your computer? Well, see that RollingArchive bar up there? Well, if it just keeps saying ‘Loading’ and doesn’t allow you to scroll back and forth. It isn’t working. Chances are you are probably using IE6 or FF. If you are using IE6, upgrade to IE7. Don’t worry, your bookmarks and homepage won’t change. If you are using Firefox and have the Web Developer extension, click Disable >> Disable Cache so it is enable. If you are using Firefox and don’t have the Web Developer extension and things aren’t working, make sure you don’t have Javascript disabled. If that still doesn’t work, try getting the Web Developer extension and disabling the cache. Though, without the Web Dev extension, Firefox should work just fine. I have a little more work to do and I SHOULD be damn near finished.
