I have created a website for a musician friend (still a work in progress), but can't get one of the pages to display in Internet Explorer. I have tried to recreate the page, but to date no success. All other pages of the site display as they should, in either browser (Chrome or IE). I first noticed the problem when viewing the site on my wife's laptop. I accessed the site from my laptop and had the same problem. Moments ago I used the re-sync function to upload the site without success. I'm confused. Why will it display properly in Chrome but not IE. The site is www.dannytband.com. The specific page within the site is www.dannytband.com/BuyMusicCD.html. If you view it in Chrome you'll see the entire page, but in IE only parts of the page appear. Does anyone have an answer, suggestion, or comment?

Hi H Booth Kates,
I looked in IE7 and see this: http://www.kellyinfo.com/web/cds.png

I might add I went through your homepage first then clicked on your store then music cd

That is what displays in IE. However in Google Chrome, it displays everything I created for the page using VSD.

Thanks Bruzer for taking the time to view the site. I find it interesting that Google Chrome will display the entire web page with all the text, and IE 7 or 8 only displays some of the data, NONE of the text. Does anyone use the Chrome browser? You'll clearly understand my confusion if you view the site with Chrome.

I am looking at it now in chrome and I see what you mean! lol does seem strange indeed.
youay want to put in a support ticket for this H, as they can get more involved (pinpoint the problem) as I see no reason for it. How does that look in preview?
Did you use the html tool for adding the pay pal buttons?

Booth, sorry
I'm kinda guessing but this doesn't look right to me:
<style type="text/css">
body {
margin: 0px;
padding : 0px;
text-align: center;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-color: #000000;
}


a:link {
color: #e2a007;
}


a:visited {
color: #e2a007;
}

</style>

I would try this:
<style type="text/css">
body {
margin: 0px;
padding : 0px;
text-align: center;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-color: #000000;
}
</style>
<style type="text/css">
a:link {
color: #e2a007;
}


a:visited {
color: #e2a007;
}

</style>

Using Firefox on a Linux computer -
I tried the link you put up for the Buy CD page. It took me to one of those junk sites that are just a page of links to payday loans, foreclosures, cheap insurance..... the site is called Dannytband.com - What you need when you need it! When I go to your actual site and click through to the buy cd page, it's there just fine.
How can 2 totally different sites have the same URL?
From the "spammy" site:
http://www.dannytband.com/BuyMusicCD.html.

The reason the the first link takes you to the spammy site is that it has a trailing "." (dot) on the URL. the DNS servers have no clue how to handle it because in DNS terms the dot means Root Server. The displayed page is a default page created by the host to hopefully (for them) make some extra money off of affiliate ads.

As for the original problem it looks fixed when I view it in all browsers. :)
