Ahhhhhh. Must've skipped over that post

It was JavaScript errors predominantly. Validating your JavaScript is important, too. Test test test test.

OK, so what was the problem? lol Was it just the &'s? I thought they were just depreciated, didn't think they caused problems.

I think I'm lost =/

Suzanne to the rescue!!!!!

Thank you, again!

Loads great, quick and no crashing or freezing or hanging.

Validation to the rescue, once again.

Thanks!

The page now validates. Does it come up in Explorer running on a Macintosh now?

document.write('\\\<\/a>');

Thanks for checking again, Suzanne.

I've changed the doctype, corrected some errors. One issue that is still reported complaints about this bit of code:

89: document.write(" ");

Line 89, column 171: end tag for element "A" which is not open (explain...).

As far as I know, this code is valid. I could break out the into a separate document.write statement. document.write("....<"); document.write("/a> ..."); Any recommendations?

Cascading errors are big problems for the validator as well as for some browser configurations -- that's why validating the code for errors (as opposed to purposeful changes that won't validate but also won't break things) is so valuable as a first step.

It takes a very long time to load in Safari, too (I'm on dsl and it takes more than a blip to arrive), but faster than yesterday.

It also *starts* to load in IE now, but then disappears and only the background image is there while it hangs. This is an improvement, I guess. The top row arrives header) but the JavaScript lines under that don't. And now it's totally hung and I have to force quit again. It would seem that the JavaScript or something near it is causing the problem.

Thanks for the suggestion, Suzanne. I've replaced the ampersand with the HTML code, which caused nearly all of the errors you listed. There are quite a few errors remaining at the moment, mainly complaints about tags like . I will continue to clean up the code.
