[3676][IE5,6,7] Long search strings can exceed IE 2083 char length limit

[sasa.grba]

In opera and firefox everythign works fine but I have a problem in Internet Explorer

I have Internet explorer 8.0.6001.18702

When I do some search I have more than one pages in search result and the page 1 is active. When I click on 2 or 3 or any other number, nothing happens and Smf stays on page 1.

[Norv]

Can you please tell what version of SMF do you have?

Also, it may be useful if you try using w3 validator on the search results page, and in case it displays any errors, you probably should correct them. (http://validator.w3.org/check/)

On another note, this topic may be better off in Support boards (not sure what version ), and in case it proves a bug, it can of course be reported on Bug Reports then.

[sasa.grba]

I tried with smf 1-1-4 and with the new smf 1-1-10 and there was the same problem.

[sasa.grba]

anyone? 

[redone]

Can you post a link to the search page your using so others can view it using IE?

[sasa.grba]

No. The forum is in my companie's private network.

[Norv]

Please check the javascript console ("error console") in Firefox, while listing the search results, and post here the errors you may see, if any. Alternatively, write the URL of the search results page in the w3c validator (http://validator.w3.org/check/) and copy-paste here the results of the validation.

Eventually, please tell: what is the URL that appears in the status bar when you hover the mouse over the "2" (for the second page, that is right before clicking on it), also what is the address in the address bar after you click on "2" and it displays a page?

[sasa.grba]

Internet explorer is a problem, firefox works ok.
I had no errors but I found the diference betwen links in firefox and IE for the same search.

Eventually, please tell: what is the URL that appears in the status bar when you hover the mouse over the "2" (for the second page, that is right before clicking on it), also what is the address in the address bar after you click on "2" and it displays a page?

In Internet explorer:

I believe the cause of this is because the Maximum URL length is 2083 characters in Internet Explorer 5/6/7

With all the parameters you have set for your search, it is generating a url too long, and so explorer is cutting off alot of the parameters including the page no.

In IE8 or other browsers the limit is more like 32kb?
