So I'm kinda new to making websites, but when I uploaded indulgebakery.com I was completely dumbfounded as to why it wont load in IE6 or IE7. Any advice? It works fine in Firefox and Safari. Thanks every one.

You can fix a lot of the validation errors by changing the doctype from XHTML to HTML since that is how you've written the tags. That might fix it.

For starters, I recommend fixing the markup errors and CSS errors reported by the online tools.

FWIW, Safari and Firefox recover from your errors, but Opera doesn't (displaying a blank page, with a title that shows how the markup errors are confusing it).

Validate, validate, validate. happy.gif

Take the product page, for instance.
http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/validate.c...s&input=yes

One of the errors...
CODE
Line 3, character 8:
<title = "Indulge Bakery - Home">
       ^Error: an attribute specification must start with a name or name token


And that's all markup you have for TITLE. It's <tag>content<tag>. In your case it should be...
<title>Indulge Bakery - Home</title>

The TITLE never ends, you just have a start tag. That's why the page doesn't display in browsers that can't recover from that particular error.

Forgot to say, you really should use a doctype. smile.gif
