Eric, I can't reproduce either issue. On IE, it looks like you have a rendering issue -- in particular it looks like there is an issue with your graphics card/driver. I used to have the same issue with an older ATI driver every time IE tried to render anything with shadows in the CSS (we do). It might also have something to do with you not having Flash Player installed.
The problem with switching the download link is that our "CMS" won't allow us to pull down the closest mirror site to the user. We have to rely on 3rd party CGI scripts, which won't let us track downloads or do any error tracking. The flash applet lets us get around those issues. -Nick On Thu, Aug 29, 2013 at 5:30 PM, Eric <eh.fx...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > I had some minor issues with grabbing the SDK using Chrome (and IE). > Nothing to stop anyone serious, but some devs can be picky about first > impressions, and I want to see this SDK continue to grow like it should. > > 1) With Chrome (Version 29.0.1547.57 m), clicking the download link at > > http://flex.apache.org/**installer.html<http://flex.apache.org/installer.html> > opens up a blank tab, which shows this link in the URL (but it doesn't > actually download the file): > http://mirror.nexcess.net/**apache/flex/installer/2.6/** > binaries/apache-flex-sdk-**installer-2.6.0-bin.exe<http://mirror.nexcess.net/apache/flex/installer/2.6/binaries/apache-flex-sdk-installer-2.6.0-bin.exe> > > 2) In IE v10.0.9200 I get some bizarre text rendering issues which can be > seen here: > > http://s13.postimg.org/**h8t3o5fnb/image.jpg<http://s13.postimg.org/h8t3o5fnb/image.jpg> > > For all I know this could be an issue with my PC - I don't use IE really. > But I can't reproduce this rendering issue on any other site I've visited, > so far.
