IE6 will not open some websites

S

Sharon

I have 3 computers and none of them will open the website
http://www.melorheostosis.org and I really need to get
into that site. Will someone please see if you can open
the site? The page comes up with the name at the top and
a vertical and horizontal line in black with a white
background.

I have done all the usual stuff like deleting cookies,
etc. If anyone has a solution to this for me I will
greatly appreciate it. :)

Sharon,

That is a really simple site. It uses frames but nothing else fancy.

What have you done to try to diagnose the problem?

It sounds as if you are receiving the content but just not rendering it
properly for some reason.

Do you see the content of each frame with View Source?
FYI you can use Alt-V,c to see the source of the frameset
and right-click,View Source within each frame would show
you the source of its frame.

As I said very simple stuff. The only thing that I can think of is that
for some reason your computer might not like the charset=windows-1252
that you can see in each source window. What Encoding is your browser
showing for that page? Use Alt-V,d to see that. FWIW when I do
that I see Auto-Select checked and Western European (Windows)
selected. If you don't have Auto-Select checked and you have some
other encoding selected try changing that. Another related possibility
is that you haven't told us about any overrides that you may be using
in the Accessibility dialog. (Press Alt-T,O,Alt-e to see that.)

Since the whole thing is cached what you could try I suppose is to delete
the entire line
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
from each source window, save them and then re-render the page offline.
Note: to re-render something offline you must *not* use Refresh.
Do some something like press Ctrl-N to clone the window or load
something like About:Blank on top of the page and then go back to it.


Good luck
