Works In Firefox, Never Appears On IE

I'm having trouble figuring out what it is about my website that does not allow it to load in Internet Explorer.

It works fine on Firefox. I've tried to debug it as best I can but still can't figure out what it is. I tried removing all elements of the page.

Any ideas.

Just viewed it in IE6. It looked find to me.

Interesting. I was testing it on IE7 and it never loads anything but a blank page.

Thanks for checking for me.

Forgive the snark, but it just goes to show how (in)consistent Micro$haft products are. And yeah, I know that if something isn't visible to MSIE users, you're missing a big fat slice of your readers, and the percentage of readers that stay with MS will increasingly be using v.7 rather than v.6.

Good luck figuring out how to make it visible to v.7 users! Just a stab in the dark, but could there be something strange about how v.7 processes the css file? The authors of the best HTML text I've got have much to say about the idiosyncracies of MSIE processing of stylesheets. It stands to reason that they'd have changed how v.7 does it, given that the processing was so loose for v.6.

Good luck with the problem!

Hi there,

There are two problems:

1. chikita and Amazon are eating your load time - review your ads

2. you are most likely using IE7 Beta. Download the NEW IE7 Officila Release - 14MB - and enjoy the results.

C'mon, gristgal, give us some peace!

The Web Site Analyzer shows you are loading 75 http objects (html, images, scripts, iframes) on a typical page, from 19 exernal hosts... That's a lot of objects; it took about 33 seconds to render your page on my network, which is a pretty fast fiber connection.

Keep in mind that not only will it take time for a browser to render this many objects in the best of cases but that a delay on any of those external sites will dramatically slow down the rendering of your pages...

Please let us know if updating to the final version of IE7 solves your problem.
