Name.asp (GIF Image, 1x1 pixels)

Can anyone explain why on certain websites (flymonarch.com is an example) clicking on a link takes me to a blank page with the above title?

For example clicking on their "pre-book extra legroom link" takes me to a blank page called seating.asp (GIF Image, 1x1 pixels)

This happens on some other sites, especially price comparison sites - but not on all the links.

Thanks

 

Why is this happening? I think something has been 'cookied' or stored in a temp file incorrectly. Run a good temp cleaner (CCleaner is popular) but keep in mind all your cookies and associated web stuff will be removed. This may include saved login info, passwords, some web preferences, etc. CCleaner is free, and can be downloaded from MajorGeeks http://www.majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Slim_No_Toolbar_d4191.html Install and run it with default settings and (hopefully) it will fix the problem. In the meantime, be patient, and I'm sure someone will come along with more accurate advice.

 

I have tried that without success already - but thank you for trying

 

I use Firefox - but does the same with IE7. If I click on the link in your reply I get the same response as when I try it from their website.

I am really puzzled

 

Hmmm, how about running a scan for malware. Maybe something is redirecting your links (or at least attempting to). Run a scan with Spybot S&D and/or Ad-Ware and remove everything it finds.

 

I have run both Spybot and Adaware and found nothing except some cookies - which I deleted anyway.

 

Can you link any pages OTHER than flymonarch with the same problem?

It's a common webdev technique to have an image that is only 1 pixel in dimension. It can make for easier spacing of elements. I would suspect that this page is mislinked directly to the image.

Sadly, since this is an ASP page (server-side scripting), it will be hard to troubleshoot exactly what code is being sent to your browser by the server.
You might try viewing the source of the page that links you to the image. In Firefox, simply hit ctrl+u on the page. In IE7, select 'Source' from the 'View' menu.

 

When I use a reputable UK price comparison site to get the price of a Fujifilm FinePix F50fd Silver camera and then select one of the retailers the site tells me it is redirecting me to the retailer's site and then I get the same problem. The page in this case is simply titled "click (GIF Image 1 x 1 pixel)". Retailer is Eatay.com - simply entering this in a web browser directs me to the correct site but selecting it from the price comparison site does not.

The url of the site it takes me to is

http://clk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=18982&a=441017&g
=350801&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eatay.com%2Fgateway.php%3Fp
rodID%3D1677023703733730%26source%3DPRICERUNNER%26kwd%3DFuji
film%2BFinePix%2BF50fd%2BSilver

I do not get this problem on all such processes - with some retailers I get the correct site.

I have deleted the doubleclick.com cookie - but it still does this.

 

Can we post the source of the page with the problem link?

 

Not certain if this is what you mean - but the original site is

www.pricerunner.co.uk

Entering

Fujifilm FinePix F50fd Silver

as the search gives a page with this url

http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/cl/29/...q =fujifilm+finepix+f50fd+silver&ref=redirect

(The url above is not actually the full url displayed - this forum shortens it. This is it as a tinyurl

http://tinyurl.com/2pq7k3

from where selecting the the top item listed results in this page

http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/pl/29-.../Fujifilm-FinePix-F50fd-Silver-Compare-Prices

and selecting EATAY gives you the page I listed in the previous post.

Selecting Amazon or Rank however takes you correctly to their web sites.

 

Sorry - add it to my host file? Could you be more explicit for an innocent please?

Thanks

 

Thank you. For the avoidance of doubt (mine ) the file currently looks like this

As this is slightly different to the one you posted can you please confirm my next step?

Many many thanks

 

Just add it as shown above.

 

OK - done that. Now when using "Pricerunner" and trying to access the "Eatay" page rather than the tradedoubler page I get "Problem loading page" stating that the server was reset.

No worse off - but no better.

A bigger problem anyway is the one I have on the flymonarch.com site. If I try to find the page I am trying to go to from the site by searching on "Google" I get this as the first entry:

Monarch Airlines | Seating FAQs | extra legroom and pre-allocated ...
Find out how to pre-book extra legroom and pre-allocated seats for your scheduled (flight number ZB) or charter (flight number MON) flights and how much it ...
www.flymonarch.com/cnt/travelinfo/seating.asp - 63k - Cached - Similar pages - Note this

Clicking on the underlined link however takes me to the blank page with the "seating.asp (GIF Image 1 x 1 pixel) heading.

Clicking on "cached" in the Google entry does however take me to the correct page.

Really really frustrated - any more ideas anyone?

I can access the page by clickingon the cache

 

I've also been having this prob for some time now. Possible since I updated internet explorer

 

Please start a thread if you are after support.
Your problem MAY be the same, but you may just be getting the same symptoms.

It would be confusing if two separate issues were supported in one thread. Which suggestions do you follow, which do you ignore?

For best support, please start your own thread.

 

If you are using Kaspersky then it's a problem with the anti banner on it, you need to deselect the box in settings. I've just done it and it's worked!
