XHTML 1.0 Strict and IE6

F

Fawzib Rojas

I have the following page:

http://guest:[email protected]/msim/test_xhtml

I validate it with the W3C validator and it says it is valid XHTML 1.0
strict. It works in Netscape 6 but when I use IE (Version
6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633) it shows an empty page, the <title> tag
is read correctly and displayed in the window but the page is empty. If
I go to 'View'->'Source' I can see the full source of the document.
Everything seems ok, can somebody tell me what am I doing wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong. I tested the link and I
have the same issue with this page.
My IE is working fine and has no problems with any other
website.

Are you trying to display it as XML source or rendered as HTML?
If the latter, it works if you give the file name an .html extension.

FWIW I see it as XML source (indented and collapsible.)
Further, it is not cached so I can't view the source even though
the first line displays as:
<!DOCTYPE html (View Source for full doctype...)>

(I had to download the file and save it to disk to see the real header
and that's when I was able to rename the file to give it an extension.
The HTML worked but since your images are relatively addressed
of course they couldn't be found on my disk. I didn't bother trying to
alter your source to give it a basehref to see if that would let me see
the images too.)


Since you are not seeing even that much I suspect that you don't have
the latest version of the XML parser.

Here's an article which can help you discover what you do have.
Unfortunately you will probably find that the simple tools are obsolete
but the generic one XMLVersionText.exe still works well.

Here's an article with some links for getting the latest version of the parser:
