Issue 1: In the Head section of my XHTML I had an empty script element (see below). IE refused to load the page. FF had no problem with this.
 
<script type="text/javascript" src="nav.js"/>
 
To get IE past this line in the markup I had to change the text to read:
 
<script type="text/javascript" src="nav.js"></script>
 
 
Issue 2: In the body of my document I have an empty <div>. IE rendered the page correctly. FF didn't close the element, so my CSS didn't get implemented correctly.
 
<div class="clear"/>
 
To allow FF to process the div, I had to modify the line to:
 
<div class="clear"></div>
 

Easy. In both cases, 'self-closing' elements is incorrect. Both <script> and <div> need full closing: </script> and </div>, whether they're empty or not.
