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.

We solved this problem on MSN, however it was missing </script> tags

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?

Yep. Passed XHTML 1.0 Strict validation with flying colors.

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