[access-uk] Re: Yellow Pages Online query

Hi Steve

It's one of these quirks I can't fathom out at all.  I've added my favourites 
list since the latest version of Internet Explorer.  It's completely baffling 
that I can get the phone numbers if I go into the website from Internet 
Explorer, but not if I go from my favourites list from the start menu.  How 
strange is that?  Anyway, now I know how to get them, I don't worry about it, 
but it's just one of these weird scenarios I would have liked to answer. 
(smile.)

Thanks.

Jackie

  Hi Jackie,

  You said you can get all the information if you go to the website using 
Internet Explorer but, you can't get the information if you access the site 
from your favourites list.  Have you upgraded your Internet Explorer since 
placing the site address in your favourites list?  I've had this happen to me 
when upgrading I.E.

  Hi List

  I think I have now discovered what causes any telephone or mobile numbers not 
to appear on the
  www.yell.com
  website when I do a search for the name of a business or category of 
business.  This is really bizarre, but if I go into Internet Explorer and type 
the website address into the address bar, I can access the telephone numbers my 
search yields.  Similarly, if I go into the saved website in my Favourites when 
Internet Explorer is open, I can find the info I want.  But I have also got the 
Favourites menu on my Start menu, and if I launch the Yellow Pages website from 
there, thereby opening Internet Explorer, none of the phone numbers come up.

  Now I know that's bizarre and frankly inexplicable in my book, but that's 
what happens.  So while I now know I can access the information I want either 
by going into Internet Explorer and typing in the direct URL, or doing so by my 
Favourites menu when IE is open, I don't understand why it doesn't show any 
phone numbers only when I enter the website by using the Favourites menu from 
my Start menu, which is exactly the same.  Yes it seems completely stupid when 
I read this back, but that's what happens.

  Dare I ask why? (smile).  The good thing is that I can replicate it and know 
what to do to get the info I want.  But I want to know why this happens.
