Different browsers / Different Views

    Hi! I am not up on the website lingo so please bear with me here! And thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

    I use an iBook running Safari, my boyfriend uses Windows running Mozilla Firebird and at work I use Windows running IE.

    On my computer I cannot see my Google ads or a picture of a book link that I put on my site. (Safari) or my comments.

    On the Mozilla Firebird computer I cannot see the Google ads but I can see the book photo link.

    On IE I can see everything!

    A very sweet and talented IT person at my job looked at the site on all three browsers at work and said everything looked fin on all of them! He suggested that I come home and clear the cache on the iBook and on Mozilla Firebird. I did that and still no difference for me. Then I ‘reset� Safari and still no changes.

    However, on my boyfriends Mozilla Firebird, when you first pull up my blog, you can see the Google ads, but if you click on them they disappear never to return.

    What seems to be very strange is that if I roll my mouse over where my comments should be (in Safari) I see a page for Flickr trying to load, which is a link I have on the left side of my blog. The Flickr even looks like it wants to load when I roll my mouse over the place where the photo link is supposed to be, And by trying to load I mean I can see the address on the lower left hand of my screen.

    So emptying cache doesn’t work and resetting Safari does not work!

    Any ideas are much appreciated!
    (P.S. I can see other peoples links and photo links when I look at their blogs.)

    FF has a built in Ad-Blocker, try disabling it for your site and see if it makes a difference. Also ensure you aren’t running any other blockers that maybe, er, blocking it.

    One last thing, the text on the sidebars, if it is final, is absolutely impossible to read in FF http://cupcakeshow.com/ is your site I take it?

    I’m not certain for Safari, however. You could try validating your page at http://www.w3c.org ok I just did it, and it came up with 60 errrors:

    http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//cupcakeshow.com/

    There seems quite a lot of invalid code which you’re trying to implement, which is why it’s not working. The reason IE displays them is becuase it doesn’t are about validity as much and so pretty much displays anything and everything. Safari and FF are more strict about the validity of the code. Once you clean up those errors I think you’ll find it should work on all browsers.

    Try the build in ad blocker, but certainly it’s worth cleaning up the errors too.
