haku Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Your page is all out of order. That may be causing your problem. It should look like this: Doctype (only one - so you have to get rid of one of yours) opening html tag opening head tag meta tags, title tag, style tags, script tags closing head tag opening body tag page content closing body tag closing html tag Anything that isn't in the above order will cause you problems somewhere, and may be what is causing you problems now.
