Can Not View Pages in Internet Explorer

Vote 0 Votes

Hello. I have just noticed that I can not view pages in IE. My homepage (www.painterramblings.com) comes up fine, but when I click on an entry...it does not work.

I noticed that my base name is some_title_here, but when IE tries to go to the entry it goes to some-title-here. It is putting the dash instead of the underscore. Firefox works fine. How can I change this?

Thanks for your help.

  • The basename you see on the entry edit screen is always going to have underscores. That's strictly for storage(in the database). The output of that basename is determined by your archive mapping, which you'll find when you edit your template.
    This, however, has nothing to do with the IE problem.

    It's working just fine. It goes to the proper URL, etc. The issue is most likely that you have an open title tag in the document head, resulting in the browser not "seeing" the document body at all, which is why you get a blank screen. (Yeah, it looks fine in every other browser; that doesn't mean it's right. They all have different ways of coping with bad HTML.) The title tag isn't left open on the home page, hence it looks fine, but it's got some other glitches you should probably address while you're at it.
    There's one or two other errors in the individual template, but the title is probably the actual source of your issue. Fix that, and see what happens.

  • Thanks for the help. I closed the title tag, and the pages now show.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
