Need a favor to ask...
« on: December 02, 2003, 03:35:49 AM »
My client has said that some people have been unable to view the website I built for him, which we launched a few weeks ago.  He said that a few of his users were using MSN as their browser (I'm pretty sure it's IE) and don't see anything when the page loads.

So can you please click on this site and tell me if you are able to get the page or not.  Please report back here with your errors, if any.  Maybe list browser and version you're running.

http://www.bowlersbargains.com

The code is pretty simple, a few includes and a mouseover script.  Nothing unusual.  I've run it through a few HTML validators and they all show up relatively fine.  I've tried it on a few machines and on IE 5.5+ and NN 4.7+ without complications.

This is not an ad in disguise I swear, it's not my site. I'm just trying to troubleshoot and I need others to help out.

Thanks in advance,
Tony

It came up fine for me.

Using IE 6.0.2800.1106CO  under Windows 2000 professional.

I know that in our software development here we have had problems with IE 6.0 working a lot different than 5.x.

I'm beginning to think that maybe these users problem is that they type in the URL wrong.  It's not BowlerBargains or BowlerBargain or BowlersBargain... in fact I found out today that www.bowlersbargins.com (note the missing "a") goes to a different website.  

I'll keep researching this.

Thanks to all who replied.

Tony
