I’m having trouble with the way Blue Star Chronicles is showing up in Internet Explorer. Some people are telling me it doesn’t load and/or they are getting error messages. I’m noticing that the sidebar is down at the bottom in IE and it just doesn’t look nearly as nice in IE as it does in Firefox.
And here I was all happy with my new template!!
I’m working on the problem, so please bear with me while I try to figure it out and get it fixed.
Why can’t all the browsers look the same ….
Sigh ….

IE sucks!

I’m sure you already know, but check the div tags and such. A lot of the two sidebar themes that have both on one side or the other can be pains to get just right (or left). I had that issue trying to get one of my old themes to do that correctly. Might have something to do with the floats.
If you want a little help late in the week, more then happy!!!

I use IE7 and have very little trouble on ANY site… But I got an error message just now when I clicked on BSC… Clicked again and it loaded fine…
A word of caution to ALL! If you build in IE, stick with it….
If you build in FireFox, stick with it…
If you try to MIX the 2, beware… They do NOT play well together…

Hi Beth,
I know what you mean. I use IE7 - I used to use Firefox, which I loved until their latest edition came out 2.0.0.1 - nothing worked after that. However, I am using Mozilla and it is fast and the Daddy of Firefox. In fact I preferre it now. What I do hun is check my webpage in all three browsers to make sure everything comes up right and is uniform on it all. Like my gabcast showed ok in IE7 but big on FF-so I adjusted it not it is fine on all.
I am actually thinking to switch back to Opera–less headaches with it! But for mow I am pleased with Mozilla and would venture to say it is the simplest interface of all-easier to work with and the fastest for page loads.
The error that comes up at the bottom of your page in IE is a javascript error. Just check that none of your javascripts -ie, your blogrolls have errors in them. Other than that it should be fine. Also make sure you have enough bandwidth–that could be why your page timed out for me and some others.
Hollar if yah need something hun!

Use code validation, something like http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/. You have some repetitive errors in your code which need to be removed, and a validation check would be the easiest way for you to see them.

I use IE7 and have not had a problem with your site loading at all.

I prefer IE, but it won’t open your site, so I switched over to Firefox. I have the same problem with Jane’s–actually a difference problem, but it sometimes crashes. With Firefox right now, I can barely see what I’m typing it is so tiny. It also shows my site in a smaller font.
These things are all a mystery to me.
My MM is up.
