send to onenote from Internet Explorer glitch

[jwr1]

I have a website that I routinely use the Send to Onenote icon to send
content to Onenote. I would highlight the part of the page I wanted, click
the Send to Onenote icon and would get my text, pictures and stuff sent to
the Onenote.

Lately, I've only been getting a link after clicking the Send to Onenote
icon, like this: "Inserted from <http://www.xxxx.com/featured_article.htm>".
I get only this link, not the fully expanded text and pictures that I had
highlighted back on the original page.

This is happenning only on this one site, not some others I've tested. Any
ideas why and how to get back being able to get all the expanded content from
the original site with one click of the icon?

Yes I can copy/paste, in fact that's my current workaround, but why is the
one click function broken, for this site?

Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

Would you post the specific link - there may be a design feature relevant to
that page that is preventing translation into ON e.g. Flash

Sure. Here's the link:

Ok, this is a little strange.
I'm using IE7, Firefox 3, OneNote 2007.

[1] IE7, Send to OneNote
Same empty result as jwr1, shows the "Inserted from..." tag only.

[2] FF3, Clip to OneNote
Success

[3] Save page as mht, Open in IE7, Send to OneNote
Success

[2] & [3] are workarounds. No errors in the log. Appears to be a bug in
OneNote.

ok David. Thanks very much for looking into this. Maybe it'll work with
IE8 or will be addressed by a future ON 2007 service pack. I would use FF3
except that I'm using a company computer and am not comfortable installing
another browser just to get this one feature, especially since using
copy/paste is not a big deal. It's just that the one click 'send to' is such
a cool feature I wanted to make sure there wasn't a way to make it happen.
Thanks again.

Ok, so that leaves you with option 3, or a manual approach.

The page has no doctype.....this puts browsers into quirks mode and they do
not render the pages correctly. The webpage has some pretty serious coding
errors.

hmm. interesting. In this case I think I'll send a message to their tech
support telling them that, without being any more specific, that my browser
is complaining about all the errors on their page and maybe, just maybe,
they'll look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.
