Having issues with IE

Post by dron31 »

I am having some very frustrating issues in IE7 with a site that I am building. In EVERY other browser the site looks and works flawlessly - Firefox and Safari don't have any of the following issues:

1) Occasionally, I'll get an error that states that IE "Cannot Load Page..." but when the same link is refreshed it loads fine.

2) After each link is clicked the browser screen flashes white and then loads the page. In FF and Safari it loads smoothly with do discernable change in the background.

I have tried everything I can think of and am my wits end. How do I get this site to look and act the same in IE as it does in FF and Safari?

the page url is http://www.pierremontacoustics.com/index2.php

I am using Lightbox 2 and a couple of other Javascript items, but it still does it even when JS is disabled in IE.

please help...

I tried your site in IE7, and it does not flash white for me, I am not really sure what you mean by that.

As an aside, I would try changing this:

Code: Select all

background:#000000 none repeat scroll 0 0;
to just

Code: Select all

background-color: #000000;
You don't need anything else if you dont have a background image.

What's interesting is that in the raw code on my end that line doesn't exist. Could IE be generating that code on its own?

No, I apologize, it was my firebug that was misleading me about your CSS. Sorry.

I found this forum because am having the same problem with IE - "I am having some very frustrating issues in IE7 with a site that I am building. In EVERY other browser the site looks and works flawlessly - Firefox and Safari don't have any issues"

This looks like a great place to seek support!

the page in question is thatcrack.com

there are two main issues -

the main, top vertical menu bar shows as the page loads but then disappears

the white background for the first 728 x 90 ad just stops - any ideas?

I really dislike IE - I hope I am not the only one!
