IE5.2/Mac: Slow as hell (over a minute). Definitely not a connection

as all other browsers are fine. Something is causing IE5.2 to struggle when
rendering your code. Suggest they're using IE5.2/Mac to test unfortunately.
Thanks Jon. I thought I was going nuts. I have had a shot of the site on
clients Mac and it is IE he is using. It does take over a minute to render
the code on each page!
I didn't have slow loading on the pages. IE was just as fast as Safari
and Firefox. What I didn't get on the opening page was the logo and
link, just the dolls.
Safari and FF worked fine.
I checked it with Opera on XP and the dolls became a vertical list down
the right hand side. Which would indicate something in the CSS, as it's
an unordered list, but it's late on a Friday night here in NZ and I've
been out to dinner, so sorry, I can't be more precise.
IE5.2/Mac: not present
Any ideas why these don't display? I don't have a Mac here?!?!? Code
validates and seems OK to me? Am I just missing something obvious?
They did for me, unless the same things are missing for FF and Safari
Try validating the CSS as well as the code. I ran the front page through
W3C and it validated both, but I got errors in CSS on the subsequent pages.
What are you using as an editor? I noticed a meta I haven't seen before:
"<meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="true" />
Does that indicate FrontPage or something MS-based?
Point out to your client that IE5.2 is so flakey it might as well be in
sanskrit and that and smart people using Macs will be using Safari or
Firefox ;-)
Cheers and HTH
