I checked memories briefly for my problem, but it lead me to where I was when I just googled the issue. So I'm here to as you guys!

My problem is yet another IE vs Firefox...my site works on IE but not on firefox.
http://www.sweetcharm.net

The splash page generally works fine on Fire Fox, but when you click "enter" all fire fox users can see is the raw html.

I think I have to add some bit of HTML to my page before the <head> part, but I don't know what I need to add sad.gif
Anyone out there able to help?

That would be a doctype and you already have one.

The page isn't rendered as HTML because it's sent with the wrong content-type from the server, text/plain instead of text/html. IE doesn't care. If it sees tags it decides to handle the page as HTML.

This all is because you haven't used an extension for your page. Usually servers are configured to treat extensions they don't recognize as text/plain. So just rename the page to outside.html and it should work.

oh my goodness why would I not think of something like that? >_<! thank you! I'm about to try it now, and I'll let you know if it fixes the problem.
