IE7 and Will Storr Mystery

[David]

IE7 is causing problems for many web designers but the effect it's having at www.willstorr.co.uk (http://www.willstorr.co.uk) is very mysterious. The site displays normally in Firefox but in IE7 there is an eerie absence of, well everything...

Could it be something to do with the fact that IE7 proper will be released shortly after Halloween? :lol:

What the...?! I tested that on IE7, although it was a while back. I haven't changed anything on the site since then. I wonder if MS have changed something in IE7 since then as it was fine. Oh well, looks like I need to get the new site up ASAP as I can't be bothered to investigate.

Later: a cursory glance seems to suggest that my closing conditional comment wasn't closed properly. I've got this: <![ endif]--> but on the new site (which does work in IE7), I've got this: <![endif]-->

Wow, pretty tough if that's all it was. Seems like IE is getting picky all of a sudden. Time was when it would render anything you threw at it. Although obviously it would do it in a slightly different way to any other browser. :rolleyes:

Later: Oh, I see the new site is up. Maybe we should do a design crit. ;)

once I get that $%^&*() navigation bar sorted. Of course, I could have had it done in 10 minutes doing it the easy way. But, no, I chose to start pulling in URLs, splitting them up, looping through arrays and so forth. Just imagine there's a "selected" state on it and you'll be fine :)
