Hello, I've been working on a new project for a client of mine in all XHTML/CSS. All code is valid (XHTML 1.0 Transitional), according to the W3C validators. The page is working fine in almost every browser except Mac Internet Explorer 5.2., which my client happens to have. The page simply doesn't load. It looks like it's going to load and then the browser pretty much stops responding. I've tried the page in IE for Win, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and everything is perfectly fine, but for some reason it just won't load up in IE 5.2 for Mac. The same browser views other CSS/XHTML pages perfectly fine, so I'm assuming there is a flaw in my CSS somewhere that is causing the problem. I've been researching this for days and can't figure it out. I really hope someone can take a look at my code and maybe point something out that might help to fix the problem. Here is my CSS file: http://www.choosingdiamonds.com/project/general.css I can't really disclose the full HTML, per the client, but here's a shot of the first several lines, but everything looks fine to me: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Project</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="general.css" /> </head> Code (markup): It makes this even a bigger pain that I don't have a Mac around to test this for myself with. *sighs* Thanks for any help anyone might be able to provide!
Oh dear. 5.2 hasn't been supported by M$ for a few years. If you can't convince him to get an upgrade you're in for a fun ride. http://centricle.com/ref/css/filters/ to see mac filters. Does your site work in IE5 normal?
IE5 for Mac or Windows? IE 5.2 renders all other CSS pages I load perfectly fine...given a few small problems here and there, but it actually LOADS the pages and doesn't just quit responding. Surely there is something in my CSS that's causing this problem since other CSS loads fine.
Is your CSS and HTML validated? IE5.2 is pretty good with rendering, but there is bugs out there that crashes it completely, which I doubt you've used.
