    I'm having a problem with a website im designing for a company I work for. For some reason the website works perfectly in firefox3 but doesnt display anything (except the header) in Internet Explorer 7

    If someone can please figure out why this is happening that would be very helpful! (willing to pay $1 via paypal for first successful solution).

    The website is http://logiczap.com

    view it in both internet explorer 7 and firefox 3 to see what I mean.

    You might be working on this while I am looking at your source code because I see so many problems.
    Starting from the bottom and going up:
    No closing </html> tag
    No closing </body> tag
    No closing </div> tag
    Alot wrong with everything so maybe your working on it even as I type!!!

    Ok, to warn you I'm going to be fairly brutal - I'm not trying to be mean with you, I'm just being honest about what I see...

    Oh good lord that's made of /FAIL/ - Guess what, you're broken in Opera, Safari and IE6... Of course with 154 validation errors what you have there is NOT html, it's gibberish... You've got... eight tables on a site that even built using tables should only need ONE, more presentational markup than you can shake the shit end of a stick at, Javascript for rollovers - something that was a bad idea in 1998 and has no place now that CSS is deployable, no graceful degredation images off or CSS off, obvious headers and lists not marked up as such, presentational images inlined in your markup...

    Basically, you've got 5.7k of markup for 1.9k of content - there's no reason it should be more than 4k.

    ... and that's BEFORE we get into the usability issues of things like the oversized fixed width (not even 1024 friendly here), the monster images pushing the actual site content off the page at 768 or lower browser height, the absurdly undersized fixed metric fonts, etc, etc, etc...

    Of course that the very subject of the site itself reeks of scam - "Certifications" in stuff there's no organized body to certify - MUCH LESS that if the code used to build said site is typical of people who get 'certified' through said programs, that piece of paper is worth less than the time it takes to wipe with it.

    Sorry, not trying to be mean, just calling it as I see it. As I've often said about a good number of websites, there is more of 1998 to this code than 2008, and frankly you should throw it all out and start over with clean minimalist semantic markup.
