IE8 will not display web content like other browsers....Help!

Sep 12, 2012 7:21 AM

Hello Everyone:

 

I designed webpages in DW5. The pages view nicely in every browser (Firefox, Chrome, Safari) with the exception of INTERNET EXPLORER 8. That browser will display nothing but the page background image and no other content. I'm tired of IE8 flipping me the bird on this......what might be the issue here? Any information you all can provide will be greatly appreciated.

 

Note: I determined is not a localized issue by checking the site from work on IE and got the same result......blank screen (middle finger). Help!!!!!!

    Is there a direct link to your page?

    Use the W3C validation tool to check your code.

    http://validator.w3.org/

     

    It might be possible that one or more tags are not closed properly.

    No, I took the pages down due to the errors of IE. I am using the validator link you provided to check for errors and found many. Is there a way to clean up the errors without manually fixing them?

    It depends what the errors are. You can try running Commands > Clean Up HTML from within Dreamweaver. That might fix some errors. However, most errors are likely to need fixing manually.

     

    For future reference, when you need help with display problems, provide a URL of the problem page. Sometimes fixing one error can eliminate many others.
