Hi,

I am coding a new site, this time in .php (because I will have some more sophisticated scripts to launch), but it doesn't load in IE.

Says something like "cannot load this internet site"...

I can PM you the URL (it's not done, just a test page)...

The page loads perfectly in Chrome, FF, Safari... 100 % well.

I just need to know what is causing the IE problem... code issue? Script?
Tried from various PCs, IE 8 and IE 6 and it's the same...

    Wow...

    I removed the AddThis script and now it loaded. But the font kits didn't load.

    You have a new domain or updated the Name Servers? Most probably your IE browsers have old DNS cache. Delete all browsing data and flush your DNS for the computer (Google how).

      I don't understand your joke...

      But anyway, I just gave up using/testing with IE 6, having seen some other sites that don't work on it either. Not sure, might be some of my PHP scripts causing it.

      Now it works well on IE 8.

        About your comment though, IE 6/7 users really need to move on with time...

        I'd say that the vast majority of all websites in existence today look bad in IE6, lol. It is by far the worst browser of all time!

        I still created separate stylesheets for it (when necessary) up until a few years ago. These days though the percentage of IE6 users that visit my sites is so low I don't even bother (less than 1% for most sites, and only up to ~2% for a few sites).

        So now I just use an IE conditional comment that redirects any IE6 visitors to a page that provides info / links about upgrading their browser, and below that the option for them to continue to my site using IE6 (along with the disclaimer that certain parts of the site may not look or function correctly in IE6).

    Unfortunately, if you have 10,000 - 50,000 visitors, that 2 % is quite high: 200 to 1,000 visitors who cannot view your site and, certainly won't buy anything from you.

    My issue was worse than "site not looking good" - it wasn't working at all!

    I hope any IE older than 8 will disappear like ATARI and people will realize how important it is to use a better, more up-to-date browser.

      If you're really worried about that 2%, then you can direct all IE6 visitors to a page that you create specifically for them. Just put the following code in the <head> section...

      HTML Code:
      <!-- [if IE 6]>
      <meta http-equv="refresh" content="0;url="http://www.YourWebsite.com/PageForIE6Users.html">
      <![endif]-->
