after a year online MSIE finally messes my site up

Graveyard666 · January 15, 2005

Firefox (my personal choice) and Netscape 7.2 show my site perfectly, but MSIE 6.0 makes my site look like a retard did it..

any ideas on why its like this? MSIE looked perfect as of Jan 5th. I figured its from a new update in MSIE or Win XP but I have no idea how to fix it in OSC..

any info would be greatly appreciated..

especially since this is a *LIVE* store - www.graveyardrecords.com/index.php

Also, I DID NOT modify or edit or change any of my site so I know its nothing I've done

Jeff;

You have made alot of modifications to osCommerce. I especially like the way the login box displays on your main page.

My best guess is that, in making your modifications you omitted a closing tag for a table cell or row. IE6 is especially unforgiving about that.

I have seen the opposite happen a while back; a developer had failed to include the final closing tag for his outermost table and Netscape woudn't display the table. The page was blank except for the header.

Best!

You declare two tables, one right after the other, without any intervening code:

Your site also gives a javascript error in IE6

Javascript?? I'm not running any java on my site, not that I know of anyhow

You declare two tables, one right after the other, without any intervening code:

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

Your site also gives a javascript error in IE6

Change your comment tags form

<!-- Header Cart --!>

to the correct markup

<!-- Header Cart //-->

and

<!-- Header Cart End --!>

to the correct markup

<!-- Header Cart End //-->

That should help with the disappearing cart in IE

after a year online MSIE finally messes my site up
