Hi

When you hover over any of my links on my site in ie6 it shows as shortcut to something.php as oposed to showing a full link in opera and firefox.

This wouldn't be that much of a problem but I am now trying to send an encrypted query string in paypal for a payment and it isn't working in ie6 but it will work in all others. I wonder if this is it or if you can only have certain length urls in ie 6.

Can anyone help please.

Welcome to the forum

I visited your mouldman site and viewed in IE 6.0 with Windows XP, and the links display as linking to the .html versions of your pages, so no php extension links on my system.

Hi,

Sorry it was just an example I forgot it was shortcut to example.html . The links should show as full links. If anyone else can have a look with ie6 at www.mouldman.com and tell me if the links show as shortcut to pagename.html or http://www.mouldman.com/example.html . I don't know if it is just my version of ie6 up the wall or if this would be the same for everyone.

They display fine for me only because I have Friendly URLs turned off. Its a setting in your Internet Explorer. Click on Tools Menu>Internet Options>Advanced Tab>Browsing Section>Click box next to options "Show friendly URLs"
