Prosper202 iFrame doesn't pass subID in FireFox or Internet Explorer

0 replies
Hey guys, I'm hoping there might be a fix for this. I'm using Prosper 1.9.26, and I've found that using Prosper's simple landing page code in an iFrame is NOT passing subid trhough to the offer when a user's on Firefox or Internet Explorer.

Here's my setup:
Hosting: Beyond Hosting managed VPS, CentOS, php 5.6.15

Campaign Link: http://myAffliateID.vendorID.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=[[subid]]

Landing page code - Prosper's Option 1 (in the body of course):
Code:
<!-- Outbound Redirect Link -->
<iframe src="http://track.mydomain.com/tracking202/redirect/go.php?lpip=223"></iframe>

<!-- Inbound Javascript Landing Page Code -->
<script>
(function(d, s) {
	var js, upxf = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], load = function(url, id) {
		if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
		if202 = d.createElement("script");if202.src = url;if202.async = true;if202.id = id;
		upxf.parentNode.insertBefore(if202, upxf);
	};
	load("http://track.mydomain.com/tracking202/static/landing.php?lpip=223", "upxif");
}(document, "script"));
</script>
And of course my text ad links are pointing to the iFramed page on my site. Here are the results of my testing:

Google Chrome will pass both the affiliate ID and the subid from Prosper to the checkout page. However, Internet Explorer and Firefox will only pass affiliate ID.

I've also tested the simple landing page as an actual landing page - no iframe. In the instance where a link is on the page pointing to the outbound redirect link and that link is clicked (manually, not programatically), then the affiliate ID and subid are passed 100% of the time in all browsers.

However - all other methods of redirect (iframe, php redirect and javascript redirect) DO NOT pass subid in FireFox and Internet Explorer. In Chrome, php and javascript redirect also don't pass subid.

From all my testing, I've found that only direct linking or simple landers with an outbound link are the only methods that will pass the Prosper subid in all browsers.

I've raised this issue with the guys at Prosper and the only answer I can get is that I'm doing it wrong. I've only been a web/software developer for 15 years, so that must be it. Now there may be something funky with my server, but I highly doubt it.

Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, how'd you fix it?
