Code Doesn't Load Correctly for IE

Hey Guys,

I have a real rookie question. My site, http://www.what-the-news.com for some reason works fine in Mozilla, but in IE the page loads really weird the first time you land on the page. However, if you click the refresh button it loads fine. Why does it load correctly on the second landing and not the first?


Thanks,

Mark

Not sure what the problem is, but it appeared the first time like the style sheets did not load.

Unrelated i notice the javascript for the google ads (the height and width and so on) is placed in the body, should the main script not be loaded in the head tags? Then link to the ads in the body?

Sorry i couldnt be of more help.

You have a TON of validation problems there.

A few things to fix:
- You are using XHTML, that means you must close EVERY tag. You have a whole slew of unclosed <br> tags, they should be <br />.
- Do NOT use the <embed> tag for flash. Choose another method, there are several listed in stickies at the top of this forum.
- Every IMG tag must be closed too AND must have an alt attribute defined (even if it's null).. so they should be <img src=yaddaydadd alt="" />
- The link tags for 2 of the stylesheets at the top are all wrong.
Run your code thru the validator, fix the problems, then debugging IE may be a bit easier to do.

Another thing too you don't want to leave those alt tags null, even though you can. Alt tags really help the seeing impaired and it reads off, with the use of a screen reader, what the image is of. It also helps search engines and crawlers know what you have pictures of. It really helps to specify what it is of.

I dunno. Most of the "gurus' will agree that if the image is just 'fluff', purely eye candy, that an alt description isn't necessary. What blind or disabled person needs to hear 'image of a curly-cue' in their screen reader ? The search spiders surely don't care about that either.

Otherwise I'd agree... put in a description and not just 'alt="photo" '
