Web Page Not Viewable In IE

Hello,
I have started my site w/ a very simple index page and for some reason it is not viewable through IE 7. It displays fine in Firefox.

I would be very appreciative if someone can try it themselves w/ IE to see if they have the same issue. If anyone can look at the source code and find the problem I would be very appreciative.

The site is: http://www.launchthebiscuit.com and I'm keeping it simple while it troubleshoot the issue.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Well, even though that *did* require my firing up a Window's box and unleashing Internet Exploder (wink), I took a quick look at the page in IE 6 - and only a blank page displayed.

I gave the code a quick glance, and didn't spot any obvious problem, sorry ... I'll try to give it a more thorough inspection later in the day after my morning flurry passes.

I found the problem.

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage Express 2.0">
<title>Launch The Biscuit</title>
<style>
</head>

Lose the "<style>" (in red above), and IE 6 will be happy. wink

A bit simpler than the annoying find the unclosed <div> problems I keep having.

You're exactly right, the problem was with the style tag. Thanks for looking into it for me and for the fast response!
