Hi Jade, sorry to bug you again.

I'm trying to use the .htaccess redirect so that my page doesn't load with the 'errors on page' message in IE7. I've added the 'additions to' the .htaccess file and specified my domain, but for whatever reason it's not redirecting the page. (i am on a linux server, btw.)

the error specifies that it's looking for csshover.htc in the root folder (www.mydomain.com/csshover), so i attempted to add the .htaccess file in the root directory thinking that it might solve the problem, but it just broke the site and gave me the 'page not found' page.

not sure what i'm doing wrong, but i'm sure it's a simple solution like always... i'm slowly learning! i swear!

http://www.tiffstrinkets.com (loads with an error in IE)
http://tiffstrinkets.com (loads error free as far as i know!)

thanks so much.

AAAAND here's the code from my .htaccess file.

# $Id: .htaccess 1105 2005-04-04 22:05:35Z birdbrain $
#
# This is used with Apache WebServers
# The following blocks direct HTTP requests in this directory recursively
#
# For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Limit' to the AllowOverride configuration
#
# Example:
#
#<Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">
#  AllowOverride Limit
#
# 'All' with also work. (This configuration is in your apache/conf/httpd.conf file)
#
# This does not affect PHP include/require functions
#
# Example: http://server/catalog/includes/application_top.php will not work

<Files *.php>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Files>


## Add these to your .htaccess file so that only one way to your site exists, either http://yoursite.com and http://www.yoursite.com ... the following adds the www if it's missing:

##RewriteEngine On
##RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com$ [NC]
##RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

## If you'd like your site to go to http://mysite.com instead of http://www.mysite.com, add these changes instead:

##RewriteEngine On
##RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.tiffstrinkets.com$ [NC]
##RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://tiffstrinkets.com/$1 [R=301,L]

## the following makes sure the correct mime type is sent for the .htc file
AddType text/x-component .htc

Ok, so, if http://tiffstrinkets.com works, and http://www.tiffstrinkets.com doesn't, that tells me that your site is defined as http://tiffstrinkets.com in your configure.php files.

So your .htaccess should look like this EXACTLY (get rid of everything else):

## If you'd like your site to go to http://mysite.com instead of http://www.mysite.com, add these changes instead:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.tiffstrinkets.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://tiffstrinkets.com/$1 [R=301,L]

## the following makes sure the correct mime type is sent for the .htc file
AddType text/x-component .htc

It DOES belong in the root of the site, while csshover.htc belongs in the includes folder.
