Grr. Another thing to add to the long list of why I hate Internet Explorer. I am a fairly seasoned web developer working with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP in developing my Team's Website (http://238.pinepointpark.com/).
The website shows up fine in Firefox, but when I try to run it in Internet Explorer, I discovered that it doesn't load anything more than the background image. When you right-click to "View Source", you see the HTML but only in Notepad, and not parsed in the browser.
So the URL is http://238.pinepointpark.com/. Please let me know what you've found is wrong with my website :/
-Main stylesheet: http://238.pinepointpark.com/inc_style.css
-My 2 JavaScript functions: http://238.pinepointpark.com/scripts.js
(By the way, I have validated both the HTML and CSS with W3, and it's not perfect but I have another website that is 98% the same thing and works fine with this code, but for some reason it doesn't work right here.

Hmm...very werid. I have never seen anything like that before. There is probably some small bug in your CSS that is causing that (IE doesn't like compliant CSS...so you may have to break it to get it to work in IE and FF). Sorry I don't have time to look at your code right now. Good luck!
html, body {
margin: 0px;
background:#FFFFFF url(http://238.pinepointpark.com/include/bg.gif) repeat-y center;
overflow-x: hidden;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 10pt;
text-align: left;
/* position: static;*/
}
I think it is because of the line that I have bolded above, try commenting that out and see what happens.

Yet another reason why the release of Windows Vista couldn't come sooner. :mad:

Okay well I commeted out the overflow-x, and it still doesn't show up in IE. (By the way, that property works in IE, I have it on my other website)

IE is the bane of my existance.Aye, I'm going to have to rewrite the CSS for my team's website to make a version solely for IE so it displays the same as it does in a standards-compliant browser like FF.

Huh. It's only displaying the background in IE and Mozilla for me.

Really? That's odd. I have the latest version of Firefox (which is what I develop in) and it works fine (Ver. 1.5.0.3)
I can see it fine in Fx but only the background in IE.

Ah.. I think I have it figured out this time. (Really, I mean it :p)
Try this..
Add a ending script tag in your HTML file.
<script language="JavaScript" src="index_files/scripts.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

:yikes: That was it! Argh. My other website had that because I had some extra JS written in there. Well, don't I feel smart now, huh!
Thanks a ton!
