Freakish IE7

Apr262007

Internet Explorer 7 is blocking all access to the homepage of this site, even though it validates and everything. Bah. Everyone, please, use Firefox instead.

You working at the uni now? Very very long time no speak.

A couple of things I found that IE really doesn't like, it's stricter with javascript, you can't use a variable without declaring it with var first, ie

var i = 0;

and not just

i = 0;

Also I had some defer="defer" in my javascript, I think that's what was killing off entire pages. Oddly though it only affected clarkeology.com and not clarkeology.com/blog/ which had the same code. The homepage did have a tag that wasn't closed too, validate your page to sort those out.

Also, once I'd made changes, I found it hard to get IE to clear it's cache, the normal-shift-and refresh wasn't working, but shutting down the browser and restarting made it pick up the changes.
