Fixed The MS Internet Explorer Issue
August 20, 2007 | 1 Comment
I am admitting that I had not checked the site viewed with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. As the webstats were showing that during the first few weeks that Firefox was more than 90% of page views I just didn’t catch on.
But I had to catch on today, though. Tom Ligon checked his paper for the minor proof reading edits and noticed <!–[if !supportEmptyParas]–><!–[endif]–> that everyone using MS Explorer was seeing. We both thought for a while there was some strange HTML coding getting loaded, but the fact is when you write your material in MS Word and move it into WordPress some MS Word coding comes along, too. Which Explorer picks up and shows as the<!–[if . . endif]–> at every paragraph break. Its no where to be seen with Firefox, Opera, or Safari. It took a little detective work to find the solution., and some more to figure out how to fix all those pages.
Plus some hours to correct two months of posts.
So tomorrow its back to the interesting and exciting things that are current and coming. I’m glad Tom found the issue and passed it on to me. Now that MS Explorer is up to 36% of visitors I must check views with all the leading browsers. Now it will look a lot cleaner for you Explorer users.
Thanks for all the tolerance folks, sending the notice, Tom, and everyone’s forebearance as I will be getting two posts up tomorrow, one being a day late.
