The page will only display in IE if the user has Publisher 2003 installed. I
have Publisher 2007, so cannot see the page.
Firefox, Opera, Safari etc ignore IE specific conditional comments, so are
not affected.

Do NOT use Publisher (or any other Office program other than FrontPage) to
build websites - this ALWAYS leads to problems.


In your page, look for <![if pub11]> and <![endif]> - delete these and
see if it makes a difference.

I have been lurking, reading and learning and you have suggested that not
having a particular version of Publisher installed was the problem before. I
am not sure how you came to that conclusion, but I don't believe that the
page not rendering has anything to do with having Publisher installed. I
have all versions since Pub 97 installed and the page will still not render
in IE7 either. The page is not a Publisher built website. Compare the code
of these Publisher built sites:

Publisher 2000: http://www.professionalcounselling.co.uk/
Publisher 2002: http://www.timesaversforteachers.com/index.htm
Publisher 2003: http://devonviewcaravans.co.uk/
Publisher 2007: http://www.europe-hotels.gr/cyprus/index_paphos.htm -

Hi Tom,

If you are trying to suggest that these Publisher built websites do not
produce standards compliant, error free code, then that is true. I did not
assert otherwise. Heck, even www.Google.com has 42 errors and two warnings
and http://www.microsoft.com/en/us/default.aspx has 395 errors and 34
warnings. Nor was I addressing Ron's assertion that one should never use
Publisher to build a website and that would always lead to problems. I know
better than to take on that argument in this group <g>. I just provided the
sites so you could compare the source code against the OP site code to see
that it was not produced with Publisher 2000, 2002, 2003 or 2007, and to say
that in my experience not having a specific version of Publisher installed
on a local computer has nothing to do with the problems with that page/site
rendering in IE.

Maybe Word, but the code does not look like any Publisher code that I have
ever seen. Compare the code against the four Publisher built sites I
provided.

But, you can see Google content, can't you?

Well, if you want people to see the content on your web, you're going to
have to make some changes. If you don't care whether they see it, then
you're good to go.

Neither Publisher nor Word is intended for making a web site.

If you are using either of those applications to build all or part of your
web pages, you need to post in the appropriate newsgroup, as it's not a
FrontPage issue.

Tom,

I am confused. I am not the original poster. I was just trying to suggest
that the problem the OP was having had nothing to do with Publisher as was
suggested by Ron. I just posted the links to the 4 publisher built websites
to show Ron or anyone else that was interested why I didn't believe the OP
site code is Publisher generated code. I also wanted Ron to know that it
didn't matter whether you had a particular version of Publisher installed
locally or not...I have them all installed and the OP site does not render
for me either. I don't know what the OP used to build the page with, and I
don't have any idea why the page does not render in IE, but the point is
that I don't believe it has anything to do with Publisher. My intent was not
to discuss or debate the use of any other program to build a website.
Perhaps you meant for the OP to run www.bridgeoflife.us through the markup
validator: http://validator.w3.org/ , though your post was a response to my
message. Sorry if my response was OT. And sorry if the additional
information I provided just confused the issue.
