Page ONLY NOT displaying in I.E. Solved

That's the offending page. Works just fine in every browser except I.E. I.E shows a blank page despite a view source showing all the mark up..Any thoughts at all? Thanks again everyone.

Edit:
Appearantly a self closing script tag in I.E. <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> it off so you must go <script blah></script> even if it's an empty tag.

What code are you suspicious about? There are too many inconsistencies in IE for me to be able to tell what's wrong, especially since I don't like to open IE. Windows is very biased and put it into my start menu as a commonly used program after opening it twice in a row.

Edit: Nvm.

The </script> tag wasn't missing! <script blah /> is perfectly valid...Stupid I.E. : eye balls it with malice in his soul :

Did it have the correct doctype and associated complete url to the dtd?

Well then that is an indication of how IE developers, and Microsoft in general feels about standards.
