Internet Explorer doesn't load pages?

[AndrewElliott]

Hey all,

I having a real problem with Internet explorer.
http://www.southshorebroadcastinginc.ca/shows.php
This page load in seconds in FF
but completley hangs in IE!

How is this possable?

I see no difference between Firefox and MSIE. Both partially load the page. What's missing are the "Shows" and "Schedule" buttons, whose source is the empty string. This could certainly cause problems.

Page didn't load for me in FF or IE.

This isn't an IE problem. It's a MIME type problem.

In FireFox you get this in the Javascript console:

Warning: The stylesheet http://www.cftv.ca/CSS/style.css was loaded as CSS even though its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".

I went to your source and noticed this:

<LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="http://www.cftv.ca/CSS/style.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen>

I whois'ed that server and found that it wasn't a powweb server. So, I checked my theory and you can check it out by using the following .css file as I uploaded your stylesheet to my powweb account.

<LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="http://www.mindsetinternational.com/style.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen>

I then loaded your page in both IE and FF and it worked fine. For some odd reason IE cries if the CSS is returned as text/html and not text/css. So, you're going to have talk to whoever owns cftv.ca and tell them to check apache and fix the fact that a .css file's mime type is being returned as text/html and not text/css.

I can't completely verify this theory as I don't have the motivation to setup an Apache server just to break it to test mime types being sent to IE. So, if I'm wrong, sorry ;)

I deleted the CSS refernce
and it seemed to make the differnce.
CFTV.CA is owned by me, but it just forwards to Southshorebroadcastinginc.ca

This page is still very much a work in progress, In need of a lot of graphic work.
(I normally do this type of work on our secured site, but I need to post this where you could see it)
