Site not showing in Mac IE 5

[elmehed]

Hello!

This site works out fine in every browser I have tried except from IE 5 for MAC:

Can anyone please tell me where I have failed?

I'm not sure what doesn't work as I don't have a Mac to test it on, but have you tried using a frameset DOCTYPE?

The first page on the site is really simple, it´s just a picture and three links who are supposed to be centered both verticaly and horizontaly and it doesn´t show at all on the Mac. I don´t use any frameset here but I can try the Doctype on the next page who actually is using the frameset. But still something is wrong on the first page.

I suggest you remove all the style definitions for your page - and then see if the page at least shows some content. If it does (which I am expecting it to), then you would add in the css - in parts until the page stops displaying again.

The theory is that you will narrow it down to a particular style you are applying (or at least identifying a part of the real cause).

Anyway, see how that goes and post back how you get on!

Cheers,
Jeff

My money is on the illegal comment inside the style block. You should not use HTML-style comments in CSS blocks. Use only C multi-line style comments:

/* comment here */

Hope this helps,

Re. the comment - you should also make sure you actually close the comment somewhere.

You are also using the wrong DTD on the subsequent pages. You should be using the FRAMESET DTD, AFAIK. Currently, your pages fail validation here:

because of this.

Thanks guys! All content on all pages are now up and running, even on the MAC. But there still is one problem left. All pictures are centered horizontaly but not verticaly as they are supposed to be. Do anyone of you know if there is problem with this css on the mac?

body {
background-image: URL(struktur.jpg);
background-position: right bottom;
background-repeat: repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font: 0.7em verdana, serif;
line-height: 1.4em;
}

a {
padding: 5px 0px 0px 10px;
color: #E61F1F;
line-height: 1.4em;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
}

a:hover {
color: #ff0000;
}

#horizon
{
color: white;
text-align: center;
position: absolute;
top: 45%;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
overflow: visible;
visibility: visible;
display: block
}

#content
{
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, sans-serif;
margin-left: -316px;
position: absolute;
top: -20px;
left: 50%;
width: 633px;
height: 55px;
visibility: visible
}

.captions
{

That's great news. Perhaps you could tell us what the solution was, so anyone else with the same problem (who might be reading this thread) can know how to fix it without trying everything.

Sure! I simply removed the false comment tag <!--, I don´t know where it came from. I also changed the "loose" doctype to a "frameset" the main subpages like you told me.

The problem now is that all content is horisontally centered but you can only see half of it vertically. The rest is over the top of the browser.
