Created a website with Dreamweaver- www.ilovefarfel.com. It works with Firefox but not IE. Why?

Question

The site loads just fine in Firefox. But when I look at it using Internet Explorer, it gives me the following text at the top:



It's repeated several times. Browser is up to date. Try it with both browsers for yourself to see what happens. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Answer 1

Looks like you were using a dreamweaver template or some other specialized dreamweaver coding which isn't compatable with IE.

I would recommend you learn HTML and redo your site. Relying on a WYSIWYG editor to make a site for you, when you have no understanding of the underlying code, is pretty much asking for trouble.

Answer 2

Listen to the others about not using a WYSIWYG program like dreamweaver or that. As to the text you see at the top, it is a non standard switch, usually for a browser. This is evident by the text starting with a comment tag

Answer 3

I agree with Gabi... looks like you have some tags that aren't compatible or incomplete.

There's nothing wrong with using a template if that's what you did, but knowing how edit the code manually is a plus. I use Dreamweaver all the time and find myself having to go into the code to make changes.

Answer 4

Maybe dreamweaver is made with stricter web standards in mind than IE
Check out these web standards test to see what I'm talking about:

The test results are suppose to look like this:

Opera results (perfect):
