    Non Profit Website not Rendering Right in IE

    Hi All,

    I need help as fast as possible for a non profit which I have co-founded. I am a native linux/firefox user (you probably could have guessed that), one of the other members had told me that there is an issue in IE with our website but hadn't really told me how bad it was. I checked it out today and it is HORRIBLE. We are sending out a newsletter in the next week which will probably significantly increase traffic to our website so getting it solved is crucial. I can provide any code that I have worked on in order to find help.

    the website is CLEAN Home Page

    the website works fine in Firefox in Windows/Linux and Mac but IE does not work. Please visit the site using firefox and IE to see what I mean. I'm in a bit of panic mode over this Thank you much

    Hi,

    I can't help you much on that IE thing because I couldn't find an emulator proxy page for it. Which version do we talk about? 6 seems to be heavily receding -- making 7 the dominant browser.

    My first instinct was of course to click on the provided "Valid XHTML" button, which shows that the page isn't that valid at all.
    I always thought these buttons were supposed to be inserted after successful validation.

    After having cleaned it up, maybe this one helps you
    Internet Explorer 6 does not display XHTML strict Web pages correctly

    The first thing to do is fix all the errors.

    For the javascript ones you can put
    <!--//<![CDATA[

    and

    //]]>-->


    around the code (inside the script tags) to turn them into a block of data.

    Then get hold of an IE machine or install it on Wine and if it is the typical thing it will be down to widths. IE 6 in particular has a dodgy box model.
