[geeklog-users] Problem in IE6 for Win

Mon Mar 1 14:03:48 EST 2004

Chris,

I was just curious and took a look (also a Mac GL user - intranet 
site).  I can see a potential general problem when I looked at the 
code: there are multiple blocks of <html> ... </html> on all your pages 
(for the static page AND for the ads).  I'm pretty sure this is illegal 
in html code.  Many browsers may overlook it, but IE 6 may not like it. 
  My guess would be, since IE 6 is OK with the ads doing this, that it's 
the style sheets in the static page.  Or maybe the ads aren't enough to 
tip IE 6 over the edge.

Try fixing the multiple html thing and see if that helps.

just my thoughts on this...
