It looks like the Content-Type for the document is incorrect.  Currently, it is 
set to Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1.  It should be text/xml or 
application/xml.  In PHP, you can use header to set content type of the 
document.  http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php  

Sidenote: I use Live HTTP Headers Add on for Firefox to view header 
information.  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3829

Actually, I think you're both right!
 
Swami; I'll hazard a guess here and assume you're using Firefox; and you've
 done what I did and gone to http://maps.unimelb.edu.au/sitemap.xml, seen a
 mass of test on screen and saved the file to be confronted with: 
http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.
9"> - at the top of the file. 
 
I almost shudder to say this, but use... internet explorer (I feel 
like I need a wash!) for this; and the file's true structure is seen on scr
een. 
 
If some time presents today, I'll dig around and see if I can find out why 
there's something Firefox can't do better than IE (7 by the way) or if it's
 one of the plugin's I'm running.

I did change some stuff on the site, but not the xml file - I suspect
whatever you were looking at it with the first time had to put the
html tags around it just to make sense of it.

It should be like this: 

Top Header...

blah blah blah
blah blah blah

back to top

And, fyi:

Subject: IE8 bug?



   Hi all,

   I have run in to what seems to be an IE8 bug - IE8 doesn't respond  
to internal links (as in, same page links) on a demo site I'm working  
onyet IE6 and IE7 do!

eg.


   blah blah blah
   blah blah blah

back to top

   I tried Googling and looking back through old posts from WSG but  
can't find anything

Has anyone come across this issue before? (and better yet, come across  
a fix??)

Not sure if this will help, but I suggest using a div instead of an href:

...

blah blah blahblah blah blah

I have not used named anchors in ages.

Hope you get it figured!

Hi Christian,

You will find some info about this on the Sitepoint HTML reference
pages, http://reference.sitepoint.com/html/a/href , read down that
page and there is some information about requiring a href reference in
the anchor link for IE. Also as I understand it you don't really need
id= and name=, use one or the other - they complete the same purpose,
although I'm just reading this information from a book and haven't
checked the specification per se.

Cheers,
John Unsworth

Are they business people? Then use business language. Talk about their 
marketing/advertising/ and the budget and the daily work, 24/7, at 
achieving their brand/image that goes on by everyone at the 
organisation. That if someone has a bad experience, it has a bigger then 
expected negative impact: they will tell 20 people. That background 
music is an instant bad experience, and will undo at least half of the 
work they have achieved so far. Give it to them in numbers, so they know 
it is a monetary loss.

If you set background: transparent to the a:hover for those navigation items, 
it will solve the issue.

Subject: Why does IE show text decoration on these  buttons?


Hello group,

It's another brain fade moment for me, so I hope someone can help me.  

In IE7, the nav buttons are showing a black underline when the mouse hovers
over them, even though I have specifically put text-decoration:none in the
IE style sheet.   (In other browsers the buttons do what they're supposed
to)

Can anyone see what I've missed please?
