I just was notified by a web viewer using Internet Explorer that some of my site functionality is no longer working properly in their browser. I have looked into the problem, and found that in IE (both Windows and Mac), my getURL functions don’t work.
On an actions layer, here is an exerpt of my code:
```auto
//-----------------------------
buttonAll.onRelease = function() {
switch (p) {
case 1 :
getURL("http://www.page.com/001.aspx");
getURL("javascript:urchinTracker('/default/teaser/img001');");
break;
case 2 :
getURL("http://www.page.com/002.aspx");
getURL("javascript:urchinTracker('/default/teaser/img002');");
break;
case 3 :
getURL("http://www.page.com/003.aspx");
getURL("javascript:urchinTracker('/default/teaser/img003);");
break;
}
};
//------------------------------
```
Depending on the frame of the inner movie clip, the button goes to different html pages. This has always worked before, but perhaps now needs a workaround due to recent IE updates. Any suggestions?
A secondary problem i might also mention, has recently caused troubles in IE as well. I have an image on a page with a javascript link to open a swf file in a new window. This works fine in Firefox, but comes up with a page not found in IE, where it had previously worked.
```auto
```
