IE7 won't render my page at all, the source code is generated, just not displayed! Works perfect in FireFox

Zones: Internet Explorer Web Browser, PHP Scripting Language, Extensible HTML (XHTML)
Tags: PHP, IE7 IE6 Firefox
HI Guys, I have been developing a website in PHP, which renders the code shown below in the code attachment.  It works and displays perfect in FireFox, but IE7 doesn't render it at all, although if you view the source of the page, it is all there correctly and valid XHTML!

I have copied a version of the HTML to a new file and tried opening that locally, same problem, opens fine in FireFox, nothing rendered in IE7.  If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please can you help!!!

Thanks in advance.
Phil

The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

I know it sounds, but it works. It seems that perhaps when IE sees a script tag, it treats everything after that tag as script until it finds the end script tag. Pretty lame huh?

Very strange but I think I found the problem for you here. In your code you have the following lines:

  <script language='javascript' type='text/javascript' src='tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js' />
  <script language='javascript' type='text/javascript' src='JS/page_ad.js' />

After making the following changes I was able to get the file to render in IE7:

  <script language='javascript' type='text/javascript' src='tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js' ></script>
  <script language='javascript' type='text/javascript' src='JS/page_ad.js' ></script>

Hope this helps.

Jon
