Major issue in Internet Explorer Started today after months of working
Hello,
I have had my site up for quite some time, however today my website has gone nuts in IE. I had not made any changes to the site – I was working on a page that I would add in the future and was checking it in IE when I noticed the problem. (An hour earlier this problem did not exist)
Anyway, the pages of my site appears to have no formatting (the css file is linked)
I looked over the code and found one thing that stuck out.
In Firefox, Opera & Netscape my website works and the code at the end of my page is:
<code>
</div>
<script src=“http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js” type=“text/javascript”>
</script>
<script type=“text/javascript”>
_uacct = “UA-255224-1”;
urchinTracker();
</script>
</body>
</html>
<!— Runtime: 0.2598 —>
<!— Query time: 0.217942 —>
<!— Queries: 12 —>
<!— Memory: 1842Kb, end of textpattern() —>
<script language=‘javascript’>postamble();</script>
</code>
In Internet Explorer:
<code>
<!—Footer Ends!—>
</div>
<script src=“http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js” type=“text/javascript”>
</script>
<script type=“text/javascript”>
_uacct = “UA-255224-1”;
urchinTracker();
</script>
<script language=‘javascript’>postamble();</script>
</body>
</html>
<!— Runtime: 0.0516 —>
<!— Query time: 0.017748 —>
<!— Queries: 12 —>
<!— Memory: 1841Kb, end of textpattern() —>
</code>
I am not sure if this is the issue but is the only thing that stuck out.
I would truly appreciate any assistance.

Re: Major issue in Internet Explorer Started today after months of working
I can see your site styled with IE (both 6 and 7 Beta), but it doesn’t look right: the two central graphics, the one with the guy and the sweet at $16, are overlapping your menu. Both footers’ sources look identical.
I’m thinking this is a browser design issue, so I’m moving this thread to the Layout & CSS forum. You should be able to get some help there. :)

Thanks Mary,
But this website has been up for months without any issue in IE. It wasn’t made public until it worked in all browsers. Prior to seeing it messed up I checked it in IE multiple times.
What would cause a website that works in IE for months suddenly stop working?

Re: Major issue in Internet Explorer Started today after months of working
First thing I would do is validate both the markup and CSS. I tried running them through myself and neither the markup nor css validated. The errors that the validator lists will probably lead you to solving your problem(s).
Why it would not suddenly display properly is beyond me but your stylesheet contains some errors that would cause IE to render things improperly, such as style declarations being misspelled, improper values, etc.
Oh, and Mary? Love the current avatar. :)
Do not taunt the Markup Monkey!

Something changed. Figure out what, and you have the cause.
