[SOLVED] Problem reading online comic

Ericius · 10-08-2008, 12:25 PM

I've been trying for days to read the online comics over at Gangan Online, but whenever I click the big red button

, which basically says "Read the work!" I get a blank pop-up page.

I've tried reinstalling flash multiple times, got the latest version of Java, tried accessing with IE, a different PC and a downgraded Firefox 2.0, but to no avail.
After some research I found out that the "Digital Object Reader" that supposedly should allow me to read the comic works on other sites and the "navigation" buttons (page forward, zoom in) are viewable in Firefox' media tab. Trying to download the flash application didn't work, either.

If someone could please help me figure out just what I need to do to view those comics I would be very grateful!

Welcome to TSF!!

Hi, I tried going to the website that you posted and clicked on the redbutton as you described. I looked and it appeared that there where two red buttons. I am wondering if you could tell me what it says at the bottom lest hand corner of your FF window when you scroll your mouse over it. it should say something like

Code:

javascript; or javascript:void(0);

Let me know what it says and I will get back to you will some more information.

Cheers!

Thanks for the welcome and reply! :)

The comics who have the second button which reads only "javascript;" seem to have been added after I last checked the site and they actually do load!
But unfortunately,
the comic I most want to read only has the option with the writing "javascript:void(0);" and loads the aforementioned blank page.

Thanks for your help!

You can also take a look at this website and see if it has the manga that you are reading. onemanga.com

Cheers!

Thanks for all the answers!
The problem seems to have mysteriously solved itself after Windows completed an auto-update yesterday. Quite odd, but if it fixed the problem it's all nice I guess. :P

Glad to hear that you were able to fix the problem. Come back if you ever need any help with other things.

Cheers!
