Re: Why doesn't this page display anything in IE6?

Hi Enigmatic Source,
You have dns errors for your site
http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=www.aboring.com

but I am not sure this is the root of the problem. My own experience is that
IE6 SP2 (for XP windows) is intollerant of orphaned tags but by your source
this does not seem the case. I see that you have a nested <li> mmm... maybe.
I can only suggest that you debug by removing selective elements from your
page and then try rendering in IE (both 6 versions).
One point of conjecture is why you choose FF and OP as your test browser
platforms. Together they only have around 14% of the browser market
(www.thecounter.com). It may be that the corporate policy of your intranet
is for these platforms and if this is your only audience then code for those
platforms. Just avoid document.all notation in your scripts and remove
server side styling then all browsers will be able to render your pages.
KISS works!

I'm beginning a corporate intranet site, and I use Firefox / Opera as
my default development platforms, but when I tested the demo pages in
Internet Explorer, nothing at all renders.

Works perfectly in Firefox, renders but scripts broken in Opera

(Oh, and please don't tease about the cruftyness, I've only spent about
25 minutes on it so far)
