I am getting errors on every page in IE and I have no idea what causes this. Everything works fine in Firefox though. I really don't know where to look to fix this and I am not even sure if you will be able to see what is wrong. If anyone wants me to post some code, let me know what you need. Hope this is nothing serious
Thanks!!
A beautiful site, and I get no errors in MSIE ver. 7.0.
What kind of errors do you get, and what version and OS are you using?

I have been developing a new theme too, and experienced the same problem (www.vikingprincess.net).
I know programming, but not web development.
I was APPALLED at how full of bugs IE6 is! It is beyond anything I have ever come across in terms of commercial software.
Developing in CSS HTML WP wasn't really the problem - working with IE6 was!
There are some so called IE hacks which lets you solve width and resizing related IE problems (bugs!). Search forums etc.
The other thing you can do is to stick to the smallest common denominator - i.e. avoid anything that breaks IE and go for 'simplified' solutions. This is what I ended up doing. My site is not finished, but there are already many features that are coded in clumsy way, since IE can nbot handled the stylish way of doing it.
On your site incidentally, the banner is nicer in IE than in FF actually! The sizing is better, I think.
All the best

Oh, one more thing, the previous poster who said he got no errors - well he was using ie SEVEN!
That is VERY different from IE six and not officially released yet. It is in IE 6 that all these problems exist. Irritating to know that most of the problems will be gone in about a year when the majority have upgraded their browser. IE 7 behaves a lot more like Firefox. (CSS current standards compliant)

Okay thanks very much for your replies. I will go over the css and see if I can make it IE6 friendly

There are a few IE hacks in my css but I cannot seem to pinpoint the problem. Is there any way (tool) to see what exactly causes the errors. The IE details only mentions some error in some line :)
Well Urban, if you really want some help from this forum, it would be nice to know what kind of errors you get, as some of us cannot see it. People in this forum have lots of experience, and someone will probably come up with a solution.

thanks here is a screenshot of the problem. It is in Dutch but that will not be a problem I think

ongeldig teken means something like invalid character
Thanks!
It says there is a non valid character at position 1.
I can't tell if the error is due to you (X)HTML or CSS.
Your pages are not easy to investigate, and I'm sure you have far to many CSS rules. I strongly recommend that you try to sort that out.
You have:
1. An external Stylesheet for 'screen'
2. An external Stylesheet for 'print'
So far so good! The you have:
3. One more external Styleshhet for 'screen'
4. Inline styles, i.e. internal to the produced page.
Sorry, I cannot find the cause of that error.
What version of MSIE do you use?
On what operating system?

I am using 6.0.2900.2180 on XPSP2
I am sure I am using too many rules, maybe later I will ask someone to clean that up for me, my skills leave much to be desired :)
Anyway I appreciate your help. Fortunalety it's not a huge problems and at least it works fine in the new version of IE :)
Right, good luck to you ;)
