[frgeek-michiana] Fwd: Re: Test web site with IE

I decided to assume the xhtml is good and the css too. If the problem isn't something I did to the code, what could it be? The UK based web site which is the template for MichianaGeeks works as flawlessly as possible with IE 6.

Only one thing left to check, the web server, Apache. /etc/apache/httpd.conf is plain vanilla except I added "index.xhtml" to the index file directive. Mime.types? /etc/apache/mime.types lists xhtml as an application type.

application/xhtml+xml xhtml xml

But this isn't an xhtml/xml application. Its just text. Text types then?

text/html html htm

Hmm, no xhtml text type. I added one.

text/html html htm xhtml

That did it! IE still flubs some of the CSS 2 styles, but the site loads nicely now.

The jury's in -- either IE is trash (doh) or I've done something wrong. Although I believe IE 6 is trash, it is supposedly designed to handle xhtml entirely and quite a bit of CSS 2, so that leads me to think my coding is the problem. If I figure it out, I'll publish the bug as a "technique" to keep IE users at bay. ;)
