I have my site close to how I want it.

Yesterday it seemed as though the site wasn't working at all in IE. When I asked about it on Digital Grin, those who answered said it seemed to be working fine in IE and other browsers.

This morning I sent a previous customer to the site to view a gallery and she was using IE and couldn't get anything to work. No links working, no slide show...nothing.

I called a friend and had them look at it in IE again and the exact thing is happening too. But again working great in Firefox...

What the heck is my problem with IE?? Could I have screwed up the css and it would only mess with IE?

I don't know what to do! http://www.dgrin.com/images/smilies/ne_nau.gif I've gotten pretty far, but I'm stumped on this.

Any advice would be surely appreciated.

Thank you so much.

Welcome to professional web design? Best thing to do general is to build for Firefox, then fix for IE. I generally build in Firefox Linux and test for FF/IE6/IE7/Safari in a windows Virtual Machine.

There's not specific way to know if IE will work unless you test. IE lacks standards (the css interpreter is ... broken in IE6 and also completely different from IE7).

Also using an html Validator plugin and checking with Firebug will help which a bit.
