I posted here in the beginner forum because the other forums did not apply, however, I am not sure it applies here unless I've made a beginner error. 
Here is my link...

There is no rendering in IE browsers. I tried different computers, and still nothing. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Randy

Having taken a glimp at your code I'd bet on the javascript. IE usually screws up javascript thats not in the head.

Really? Can you please explain more or provide a link to bolster your claims.
Personally, I'd bet on the invalid markup. I didn't delve into it at all because there's no point.

youre right, its not the javascript, but the title tag is not closed. anyways, I used to have a lot of problems with IE rendering a blank when I had javascript, but I can't reproduce it right now. Might have been IE6.

Well, you're 1/86th of the way right.

validate your code....

I would first try validating my code through w3c.org. Sometimes it finds things you normally would not.

validating code
Posted: Fri, 2007-12-28 20:30
my apologies to those who provided feedback. I thought I had validated the most recent version of code (prototype3), but it appears I did not. Normally, I do before posting here.
Not sure why IE craps out when </title> was not closed correctly.
Also, I do have embedded javascript for the "last modified" date, and noticed it works on Firefox, but not IE. Is javascript something that one should stay away from because of the problems associated with IE?
What is the significance of putting the javascript in the <head>?
Thanks,
Randy

I would discount that as bad advice. You can include script tags in or out of the head.
