Unfortunately this is default XC code so they just copied it. XC out of the box has this along with the XC favicon. Even 4.6.0 has it

I have to refer to my long list of small fixes like this when working on a site so I can just go and fix it

By the way

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1"/>

will make sure the site uses whatever IE browser version customer is using, no need to specify versions

LOL!
Thanks, Steve... I'm actually reading about an entirely different way to solve this:

What do you think about this?
http://www.validatethis.co.uk/news/fix-bad-value-x-ua-compatible-once-and-for-all/

PHP Code:

add it to your .htaccess file like so

<FilesMatch "\.(htm|html|php)$">
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        BrowserMatch MSIE ie
        Header set X-UA-Compatible "IE=Edge,chrome=1" env=ie
    </IfModule>
</FilesMatch> 


I wonder if I have mod_headers enabled?
Sure do...

Gonna try it now.


PS -- are most people putting the chrome plugin into IE10?? really?
off-topic for this thread, but IE10 is impressive in many ways... and Win8 is pretty nifty, but I HATE the tiles... off-topic...

I wouldn't go to the htacess to do this. The server has enough to do so not needed you pile even more work on it... Our host gurus can be more specific if this is in any way unnecessary overload on the server but I would stick with the meta tag

Not anymore...

We're winding down Chrome Frame, and plan to cease support and updates in January 2014.
Please read our announcement for more information.

I raised 2 tickets with TXS on 10th August and they've not yet been looked at by them! Is anyone else having problems with TXS support resolving issues, they are usually very quick to respond?

I've had the same experience lately. I've purchased 2 of their templates, the search mod and the menu mod and have had good support in the past, however a ticket I raised a few months ago was never responded to and I closed it after posting about 5 times requesting a response. I just opened another ticket recently and when they asked for ftp info it was given and then nothing was done. I have to say this thread has been invaluable to me in fixing certain issues, especially the non-secure image problem, so thanks to all who posted their comments and suggestions here.

They are in beta on a new template -- so i can only imagine they are focusing on the new product -- but...

We are all in business... we depend on new products to pay the bills.
But without our customers, we can make new products all day long, but if the customers feel we are not there for them, they won't buy the new product.

So my advice to TXS: balance... your desire to ship must be balanced by your need to support your customers. Else we get restless.

Thanks for listening.

TXS support solved this for us!
Thanks, Max!

in file, /skin/xtreme_gear/css/altskin.css

add the following block of CSS code:

/*** 'Note' box for email popup at registration ***/
div.note-box {
position: absolute;
border: 1px solid #000;
background-color: #f6f5eb;
margin: 0 0 0 30px;
padding: 3px;
width: 150px;
line-height: 15px;
white-space: normal;
overflow: hidden;
} 

(I changed the width to 200px and the background color to match my site design) -- it appears that the div css was simply missing from xTreme. Problem solved!

Max is a good guy

Added the code and it works as intended - thanks for sharing J

Hi folks,

Yes, apologies for any recent delays in responding to support queries.

As many of you know, we just released our Fashion Walk responsive template - this was a massive development effort and required "all hands on deck" - the results speak for themselves
We have 2 more responsive templates already in development, plus a brand new release of xBanners2. We also moved office recently - between moving equipment and networking issue, etc - there was some disruption to our normal working week.

The good news is - we are back on track and settled into our new building.
So expect more good news coming from the xCart Store pretty soon.

regards
W.
