Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / November 2005web site is in garbled html text
Hi. Since I downloaded IE 5.1 my web site link (kristentussey.com) accessed through my Mac G3 computer (and through google) comes up in garbled html text. It loads just fine using windows. Any suggestions? > Hi. Since I downloaded IE 5.1 my web site link (kristentussey.com) accessed > through my Mac G3 computer (and through google) comes up in garbled html > text. It loads just fine using windows. Any suggestions? Your website is missing a doctype. That's a good place to start. The doc type helps translate the rest of the document. FrontPage 2000 is one of the problematic versions of FrontPage. The most recent versions are supposed to be a lot better, according to a friend who is a Microsoft MVP (PC) and web developer. Even assuming a doc type of HTML transitional, the lowest-supported doc type, FP has plugged a bunch of stuff in your code that is not supported by current standards. When I went to validate your code using the WorldWide Web Consortium's validator, it assumed HTML transitional, a very forgiving doc type - and it still came back with 38 more errors. I checked your site on my Mac on FireFox (fine), IE5.2.3 (oh, it broke big time), Safari (fine), and Opera (fine). It didn't check it on my PC, which isn't turned on. I wouldn't worry a whole lot about it breaking in 5.1, and even my stats for 5.2.3 (the last version of IE for the Mac) are in the very low single digits for all of my sites. This is a good place to start.
