Hi, <br />
<br />
I have a problem the page infact is not viewable by some persons. They see just a grey background and the scroll bar on the right<br />
<br />
How come?<!--content-->welcome to the forums
<br />
<br />
it shows up fine for me. Take it over to <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org">http://validator.w3.org</a><!-- m --> and validate the code, with what browsers are people having trouble viewing it?<!--content-->with ie6<!--content-->sorry, i should have said what browser i'm using, which is also IE6, validate it to see if there are many errors.<!--content-->
<br />
<br />
dat's odd, i checked it in ie6 and it came up just fine for me too...<br />
<br />
its possible that those viewing your site in ie6 are looking at an old cache of the page...<br />
<br />
try having them:<br />
* close out all ie6 windows<br />
* goto their ie6's internet properties ( withOUT opening a<br />
new brower window )<br />
* click on the temporary internet files "Settings..." button<br />
* clear all cache<br />
* open ie6 and go back to the page<br />
<br />
i've had that happen at work a few times with some of my sites, that cleared it up ( most of the time )... and when it didn't, i'd repeat the process but after clearing the cache have the browser look for newer versions of the page "every visit to the page"<!--content-->All I get is the grey box, on IE5.2 on a Mac. But I may have found the problem.<br />

That's the very first lines of code on the page. I'm not sure where it came from, but that may be why some people can't see the page. Try changing it to:<br />

That's commented out so it isn't rendered by the browser, but it does need a doctype <br />
<br />
As giz points out fix the errors to see if that solves the problem.<!--content-->I might know what's causing the problem. Remove the <!--> right after the <style> tag. That helps at least in Opera (Opera doesn't show your page either).<!--content-->>> I might know what's causing the problem. <<<br />
<br />
... and the 61 HTML errors including nesting errors, duplicated tags, and tags unclosed or closed in the wrong order.<br />
