Online Historical Atlas of Erelae

[Azdusha]

The online version of the historical atlas doesn't seem to be working anymore. I know it's been released in print, so it might be intentional, but then.... why have the link there? It's also possible it's just my computer.

Is anyone else having this same problem? Or is it even a problem?

Is anyone else having this same problem?

Yes, same here. At least it didn't work for me a week ago.

I just checked and it works fine for me. Where are you finding the link? And what goes wrong?

[Izambri]

I use the link in Virtual Verduria (http://www.zompist.com/atlas/index.html).

The problem, once I am in the Historical Atlas of Ereláe page, is that links doesn't work. When I put the cursor above a link, for example, on "3480c" it appears "javascript:parent.show('3480c'):" in the bottom left corner of my screen.

I've tried it on Safari and Firefox (Mac) and IE (PC)-- all working.

If there's a configuration it doesn't work on, I need more information (OS, browser at least).

You need Javascript enabled, but that's true of most of the web these days...

Doesn't work for me either (Firefox 19 on OS X 10.7). I have Javascript enabled, but only the links parent.homepage() and parent.gethelp() work. All other links in the navigation frame don't work. Maybe there was a change in how the browser handles JS method calls across frame/file boundaries?

(EDIT: Works fine in Safari, Chrome and Opera, so the bug seems to be Firefox-specific.)

(EDIT 2: Turning off the NoScript extension completely didn't make it work. Firebug reports that there is an undefined "INPUT" in the script portion of index.html - which there is, it looks as if other browsers ignore that (ungrammatical?) bit of JS code. If I delete said "INPUT" line, Firebug tells me that the script can't find "Map.document". Hope this gives you some idea what's going wrong.)

[Izambri]

In my computer it works with IE. So yes, the problem seems to be with Mozilla.

[zompist]

I deleted the spurious "input". Also added a DOCTYPE specifying framesets, as maybe Firefox is being bitchy about those. I don't have an Intel Mac so I can't test directly.

Still not working on Mozilla on Windows 7. I also do have javascript enabled

[Mornche Geddick]

I get the same problem. The homepage, help, text-to-side and Almeopedia links work, but the others don't. I've got Windows 7 and Firefox (latest version) and javascript is enabled.

Actually this is only one of the problems I've been having with Firefox lately. I'm seriously considering changing to another browser.

[Mornche Geddick]

Update: The Skourene Historical Atlas is fine. So is Almeopedia.

[Mornche Geddick]

Mozilla Firefox is still a 32 bit browser. It uses the WOW64 subsystem in Windows and I've found it regularly has script problems with sites like The Independent. I don't know whether that has anything to do with the links on the Historical Atlas page, though.

Same here, The Histotorical Atlas doesn't work. (Firefox, Windows 7)

Same here, The Histotorical Atlas doesn't work. (Firefox, Windows 7)

Same here, too.

Tested in: Windows 7
With browser:
-Firefox 19: javascript doesn't work, can't see any maps other than the cover.
-Internet Explorer 9: javascript works, can see all maps. However, because I have a 1024x600 screen (and not -x768), the text is incredibly awkward to read due to a SLOW scroll, besides being able to see only one line at a time. This is easily fixed by zooming out at least once, even though I have to squint my eyes for the 8-point font. (screenshot 1, screenshot 2.)
-Opera 12: javascript works, can see all maps. Text is completely invisible.
-Google Chrome: javascript works, can see all maps. Text is completely invisible.
-Safari: javascript works, can see all maps. Text is completely invisible.

So, interestingly, Internet Explorer ended up giving the best results.
