I have a small side business where I buy, repair and sell broken iPods and the like.

Anyway, I finally decided to make a website for it, so I did, and it only works in Firefox. IE just loads a blank page, and I've spent the last two hours staring at HTML in Dreamweaver until my eyes hurt, and I need to go to bed.

Can someone look at my site (www.ibuyipodparts.com) and see if they can figure out why it loads in Firefox, but not IE, please?

NOTE: This is not an ad, as the site is non-functioning, has no stock, and currently not open to the public.

The first person who responds to this cry for help with what's causing it not to load in IE (and a working fix) will, if they choose, receive three months of free hosting on my unix server with cpanel, 500MB HD space, unmetered bandwidth (2mbps).

Just please HELP me! I'm so tired and out of it right now. I've made web pages for years and I hate it when something probably simple like this stumps me.

It's not opening for me in IE or Firefox (or for that matter Opera) either. :(

Are you just using Dreamweaver to make the site? I hate Dreamweaver.

I can only guess it's something to do with the Flash code.

As far as I can see the only reason it doesnt open in IE is because the majority of the code is 'commented out' by the fact that the stylesheet in the header has an opening comment tag but no closing comment tag.

IE....

CODE
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
font-size: 80%;
font-weight: normal;
background: #FFF;
}


.style1 {font-size: *}
.style2 {font-size: *}
.style3 {font-size: *}
.style4 {font-size: *}
.style5 {font-size: *}
</style>


Should read:

CODE
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
font-size: 80%;
font-weight: normal;
background: #FFF;
}


.style1 {font-size: *}
.style2 {font-size: *}
.style3 {font-size: *}
.style4 {font-size: *}
.style5 {font-size: *}

-->

</style>


HTH :)

Woot! Thanks Kris! I knew it was something simple. I had just been staring at the code so long it wasn't registering. I'll send you a PM about the hosting.
