   Hello all,

   after searching this forum and google all day, and not coming to a solution, I still have hope that someone out there may know an answer ..

   For a blog I put up an rss feed, which displays nicely in FF on OSx.
   But the IE 7 and 8 have their problems with it, saying not to be able to find the corresponding css and displaying only the XML file. When I refresh the browser it is then displayed in a correct rss feed style.

   http://www.bskom.de/wordpress/?feed=rss2 is the feed.

   http://www.bskom.de/wordpress/ is the site.

   I checked into all the php files for blank lines before and after the php tags.
   I disabled all plugins and uploaded again the phps on which i worked on.
   The rss seems to have the right encoding ...
   But it still doesn't work .

   There seems to be something with the cache, as the browser loads the feed page correctly after refreshing the site. But that's only a guess from my side.

   Did anybody else had problems with their rss feed displaying incorrectly in the different browsers?

   Thanks for any help/ suggestions ..
   Heiko

   Your feed works fine for me in IE7 and 8. Most likely a cache problem on your end.

   Thanks for the quick answer!

   Do you mean a cache problem in wp or in my browsers or with the host of the site?

   Thanks

   Since I can see it ok, it must be in your browser.

   As I didn't find a solution to this problem, same browsers on same systems on different computers behaving differently .. ???, I fixed it by giving the xml-file of the feed a css to refer to. (<?php echo '<?xml-stylesheet href="rss.css" type="text/css" ?>'; ?>
   )
   So now when the browser doesn't detect the rss in the file, it uses the css to display it in a more user-friendly way (than a xml-tree structure). Also displaying a warning-message at the top, that the site was not completly loaded, and needs to be refreshed. After this 2nd loading of the site, the feed was always detected by the browser.
