Ok I am a web development student and for my current class I am creating an e-portfolio. I used lightbox for my images.. because the user doesn't have to load a new page; I think that's a great thing. Anywho.. I've implemented it into my almost complete site (still some things to do) and it loads great in Firefox. One of my friends who was trying to look at it in IE said it loads a blank page. Concerned I had other people check it in IE and it was blank for them as well. I had the same people check it in firefox.. loads great there.. So apparently there is something wrong with it for IE. http://kristinabillmyerit247.webs.com/index.html if anyone knows how to fix this or could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. I personally don't use IE so I can see this but tons of people still use IE.. so its important that they can see my page too Sweet
well i did some validating and I got it to load in IE (havent reloaded yet to my server.. I checked it locally. when you click the image it just opens into a new page as its own image and not in lightbox. Gonna see if I can tackle this.. If anyone has suggestions please feel free.
In your code, try removing the <!-- that appears right after <style type="text/css"> tag. The <!-- --> is used to add comments to your HTML markup and will hide anything in between them from the browser. In your case, you don't have a closing --> so Firefox ignores it but IE is a but more strict and reads it anyway. On another note, if you are a web designer you might want to think about getting IE, Chrome, Safari, Opera even if you don't use them everyday you can check your own work in all major browsers. They are all free so you've got nothing to lose.
Thanks I'll go back and fix that and see if I can get it all working.. and yea I've been meaning to get all the browsers for checking my work. I have IE and have been using it to help me assess the situation. I'll download those while i'm at it.
it loads in IE, the images still load into a new page rather than in lightbox in IE. Atleast i'm halfway there to having it work.
