IE Not loading files

[peb7268]

Hey Guys, my page displays perfectly in safari and firefox, but it is not displaying
correctly in ie. I think it is not loading the js files or something is wrong with the way its requireing.

Any suggestions?

The site is
imperativedesign.net

step 1, validate it.

It does display for me in IE8 but with errors

Yeah it loads but not right at all from what I've seen. Does it look the same as in firefox?

no.

Perhaps a company selling web design services should learn to write valid html.

Moved to the appropriate forum.

I'm surprised it displays correctly in anything. You have closing body and HTML tags inside your head tag.

Yeah I went over to a friends last night and we were playing around with it in ie. I develop on a mac so I was testing it on his comp there.

I think he put that it testing it out.

That inst the culprit though.

Thanks for looking at it though.

well how about the script tags you have with no source attribute?

<script type="text/javascript"></script>

Also all of these are incorrect syntax

<script src="/js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript" /></script>
<script src="/js/imperative.js" type="text/javascript" /></script>
<script src="/js/jquery.cycle.js" type="text/javascript" /></script>
<script src="/js/jquery.lightbox-0.5.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="./js/validate_plugin.js" type="text/javascript" /></script>

That slash should only be present in XHTML at the end of empty tags, not Script tags.

Thanks for the info. Ill try that when I get home.
I though it may have something to do w the dtd or the width of the containing divs.

Thanks again very much.

I removed that misc. stuff and got most of it to validate. Im not sure what the hold up is still.

Any more ideas?

Thanks!
