The following code works fine on IE7 but on Firefox it just shows up as a list of code.

I have searched Google, the Net and the entire world looking for a solution that makes sense, so here I am again please help.

Hi

This is probably a server configuration or server-side scripting issue.

Check the HTTP response headers, especially the [tt]Content-Type[/tt]. Use a tool for that :
[ul]
[li]Browser:
[ul]
[li]FireFox:
[ul]
[li]Live HTTP Headers[/li]
[li]FireBug[/li]
[li]Web Developer[/li]
[/ul]
[/li]
[li]Lynx[/li]
[li]Links[/li]
[li]W3M[/li]
[li]Explorer:
[ul]
[li]ieHTTPHeaders[/li]
[li]IEWatch[/li]
[/ul]
[/li]
[/ul]
[/li]
[li]tool:
[ul]
[li][tt]netcat[/tt][/li]
[li]PuTTY[/li]
[li][tt]telnet[/tt][/li]
[li][tt]Wget[/tt][/li]
[li][tt]cURL[/tt][/li]
[/ul]
[/li]
[/ul]

Hi

I think it is . That page is delivered as [tt]text/javascript[/tt].

So standard compliant browsers like Mozillas ( FireFox, SeaMonkey ), Opera, Konqueror, Midori will display it as JavaScript source. Only Internet "I know it better then you" Explorer will ignore what the server told it and will do its guess.

Sorted.

Google, when they publish the blog site to your website they call the main file whatever you name your blog. There is no .extension to that file.

By simply appending .html to the end of the file name sorted the issue out.

Thanks for your assistance guys, you pointed me in the right direction.
 
I don't see a closing </head> tag. Maybe just a typo when posting your code?
