Hey guys. This page: [url]http://cinematiccorp.com/blastout.html[/url] loads in every browser except IE6. I am testing it on Windows XP using IE6 and it loads the header and then just hangs and freezes up. I also tested it in IE6 with browsershots and the same thing happens. The page loads fine in firefox, IE7 etc. Not sure what is going on. Any help would be appreciated.
@slaughtersOct 23.2009 — #The page does not have a DOCTYPE so it is rendering in Quirks mode. IE6 was always especially flaky in Quirks mode.
Quick Definition:
[I]Quirks mode is the solution that browser manufacturers came up with to deal with standards and incompatibility that some (usually older) browsers have with them. Quirks mode allowed the Web browser to display a page that was written for an older version with all the quirks and strangenesses built in.[/I]
Try adding a DOCTYPE to the top of the page to force IE to use transitional (or strict)[CODE]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">[/CODE]
May not solve the problem, but it will make it easier to track down.
@CaptainkewlauthorOct 23.2009 — #Thanks for the reply, but I do have the strict doctype on this page <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
@CaptainkewlauthorOct 27.2009 — #Thanks for the reply, but removing that from the HTML did not help. I don't understand why this is happening on this page only in IE6. Makes no sense to me ?
@CaptainkewlauthorOct 27.2009 — #I finally figured it out. The "supersleight" transparency fix script for IE6 was causing the issue. I removed the supersleight script from the IE6 conditional comment and the page loaded fine. The only thing I don't get, is why it works fine for all the other pages when using IE6 (just had an issue running on that one particular page).
