IE Concern [Solved]

[DrakeGrey]

I'm not sure what to make of this but, I think I made an error in modifying my Daily and Index HTML templates. If I view the resulting pages in Firefox or in Safari after a regular comic update, everything looks fine. But if I view them in IE, I see a black page with no images, text, or comics.

Have a look - http://afn.comicgenesis.com - perhaps it's just my installs of IE on my two windows computers?

Sorry to ask such a basic question... I'm very new to HTML.

No, the mistake isn't yours.

You've modified the default templates, but kept the known IE error that comes with the default template(s). The fix is quite easy. Find this bit:

Code: Select all

  <style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
    
        color:#ffffff;background-color:#000000;
	margin:0px;
	}
	
	//--!>
  </style>

And remove the bottom exclamation mark. Change this: //--!> to this: //--> and your comic will then work in IE.

On a related note, congratulations for using several browsers to check your comic for cross-browser compatibility! Few people do that, and it is good to see someone doing the right thing for their readers.

Thanks, Doc, that worked wonderfully!

And thanks for the comment... it's a good habit that I long since learned the hard way.
