Popup Displays Perfectly in Firefox, Not IE

Go to the following URL and click where it says "0 item(s) - $0.00" in red at the top http://goo.gl/BPbcW

Notice, the white box that pops up says "Your shopping cart is empty!" It appears correctly in firefox, but not in IE.

How can I make it display in IE like it does in FireFox? Thanks for your help.

Thanks, I hadn't realized it would save that, kind of dumb if you ask me :) Refreshing should "refresh."

Thanks for the points. Yeah... and remember choosing refresh with the SHIFT key is your better friend...
(but not absolutely always ;^)

I wonder if that would have worked in this case. I'll have to try that next time. Thanks for the tip.

95% to 98% chance it would have. Your welcome ;^)

BTW, almost all browsers allow the Shift key usage with Refresh for reloading files fresh rather than from cache.

But what can happen is ...
- a cookie you are setting gets 'stuck', so sometimes I gotta go delete the cookie(s) and then shift-refresh
- a certain style gets stubbornly stuck for seemingly no reason... I have no idea why this happens. What I may observe is either a particular element in a collection all having the same applied styling "gets stuck" on the last style applied even though everything else updates, OR I think I am seeing an update according to new styling, but really nothing's happening.

I hate it when that happens !!

To avoid being fooled I recommend ALWAYS ...
- use Shift-reload, and always
- double+triple-check by multi-browser testing during all development work, and
- monitor the code output as well as your page.

Happy coding ;^)
