bug in mypage

[Tom Vincent]

hi there - i was playing around adding widgets and stuff to my mypage, added a bit something in an iframe to see what would happen and now when i try to access mypage i get redirected to the ning top page. I can access the rest of the network fine. How can I get in to delete the bad code?

Question are you/do you:
1.) The Network Creator
2.) Do you have alot of content o that network that would be bad to lose for both your and that network
3.) What code did you add please provided it in a attachment if you can if not I understand but if you can answer those question that will realy help me troubleshot this error and see if I can get it fixed for you.

1. I'm the network creator

2. very bad to lose entire network. please don't do that if you can possibly help it. Not such a problem to delete just my account and make it again.

3. attached - iframe tag

The iframe is copied from external site, but the src of the iframe is a local path, so it shouldn't be pulling in anything from outside ning. Maybe just iframes are bad?

I tried my best to find away to fix this but didn't find anything try Ning Help.

[Tom Vincent]

Thank you!

I'll have a go with Ning help, and let you know how I get on.

Thanks for trying.

[Zarzing (Dustin)]

I see that the iFrame contains some js code. In the past, I've had problems with js code and this is what I did.

Open your MyPage page using FireFox and keep hitting Escape (Esc key) as the page is loading.

That may stop the code from executing. Try it a few times and see if it works for you.

Quick update. The ning help center fixed this for me. The problem was the src path in the iframe linked to a 404 not found page in ning which messed things up. (iframes themeselves are should be fine, it was just the src that was bad)

TJ - thanks for the esc idea -nice thought, but esc simply stops the page loading, but I needed the edit button to delete the code, and the page jumped to the 404 before that displayed. No way round this one except getting the help center to come to the rescue.

Thanks for your help and ideas.
