Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2008Unable to open a site
I am attending an online course with the University of Phoenix. They have a link I am supposed to view but am unable to. I contact their tech support and they said they can access it and some of my other classmates as well. I shut down my antivirus/antispyware program and still I cannot access it. I have Windows Vista 32 Home Basic. Any suggestions? Here is the link: http://classroom.phoenix.edu/afm202/secure/view-attachment.jspa?ID=10977487&mess ageID=41124772&name=Video by Foundation of Critical Thinking.htm&view=inline Use this URL: https://classroom.phoenix.edu/afm202/login!default.jspa and enter your Username and Password. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > I am attending an online course with the University of Phoenix.

The URL brings me to the Forums Login page with IE 7 and with Firefox 2. The page asks for a Username and Password.

It goes to a script that then determines from where to retrieve the media file and then present it to the browser as either a file or streaming data. The only way to get the content is to click on the link and let the server-side script do its thing. You could try to retrieve the .htm file for the link to see what the script did inside of it. If the script doesn't work, you'll have to complain to the web site owner. For some reason, they choose to make you run their server-side script rather than giving you a direct link to the file. Some scripts won't work in IE and are actually designed not to work in IE. For example, the scripts used to retrieve the add-ons for Firefox and Thunderbird don't work in IE7 but they do in Firefox.
