[SOLVED] Template shows in Firefox, but not IE/Opera!

Post by HiddenS3crets »

The template, located here, displays in Firefox, but does not render in IE or Opera.

I used w3.org to validate the page and the 3 errors that return do not make any sense, and I think it is those errors that are preventing Opera and IE from showing my page.

This is the validation: W3C Validation

The errors refer to tags that are being closed without being opened and tags being opened in the wrong locations. If you view the source to the template, you can see that the tags are in their correct, respective places. Any idea on why W3C is giving me these errors?

the only browser i ever have problems with is FF. i use Opera as my main Browser and IE to check is something is wrong (most of the time the dude can't code a simple page). FF seems to screw everything up always.

i had this same problem with FF when i was redoing something in Zen-Cart. didn't show up in Netscape based browsers (netscape/AOL/FF) but it was fine in Opera/IE. actually it was best in IE and that irritated me but that's besides the point. the fact of the matter is that FF didn't show up and i had to redo the code fully in order to get it to work. i was <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span>.

redo another template easilly enough and test it in the other two browsers and then once you get something simple start going from there and re-develop concurrently in FF/Opera/IE. good luck

The problem is in your javascript. Remove the js include line, and it works fine.

Its not a browser issue. Firefox worked around the js bug, IE simply stopped rendering.
