[Solved]: Coppermine doesn't display in IE8

[robf]

Hi,

I have installed Coppermine and was about to launch it on my site when one of my team of 'testers' (I released the URL to the admin team) told me they cannot see the gallery in IE.

I don't actually use IE myself, but I checked on Browsershots and it does look like my gallery is not displaying with that browser (though it works with Firefox).

• My gallery is available here - www.onevalefan.co.uk/pictures
  I am using the theme - water_drop
  I have followed the install guide (as far as I am aware although with three kids, one a newborn I may plead that I could have made mistakes due to tiredness)
  I have checked on the FAQ and searched the forum but I cannot find a similar problem.

I am presuming it is either something I have done (permissions-wise) or there is something wrong with the way my server is set up.

I would be grateful for any help - thanks for your time.

Rob

.....told me they cannot see the gallery in IE.....
..I don't actually use IE myself... (though it works with Firefox).

It is blank with Opera. As a webmaster you will need more than just what an audit shows....get the browsers that people use, try them yourself.

I am presuming it is either something I have done.....

You presume correctly, the page lit up my FF error console to start with.
Redo your theme. Read your document package.

Thanks for the useful, albeit curt advice.

As per the board rules, you can consider this post closed.

You've fixed it then? It is always good to know how a site was fixed as it may help other having similar problems. Looks like you have made some edits to your header as your site looks fine for me in IE8 now.
