I have a web site that will not display the index page in Explorer, although it comes up fine in Firefox and Safari.

Explorer pops up the error "IE cannot open web page operation aborted".

I used Dreamweaver to build the site. I ran an IE browser report and found a few errors. I am really hoping someone can tell me what I need to do to fix them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here's the 1st error:
ERROR PARSING STYLES

</style>

<!--
.style2 {color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold;}

I still can NOT figure out the problem here. May have something to do with the body tag? But I'm not sure. Please help?

#2 - HREF OF IMG TAG NOT SUPPORTED
I was able to fix this one.

#3 - The target attribute of the IMG tag is not supported.
I was able to fix this one.

check your syntax, based on what you posted here that's my first idea. It should be something like this:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
.style2 {color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold;}-->
</STYLE>

Modern browsers don't really need the comment anymore (I never add them NN4 isn't around anymore for all I know or care. But you should open the <style> tag before the style itself, not close it ...

Where you trying to use conditional comments perhaps ?

ebby - THANK YOU! That got rid of the coding error!

It seems that although I'm no longer getting any errors with the Dreamweaver report, the site still won't come up in Explorer. The site for an annual local major event, and I really need to fix whatever problem I'm having with it.

I thought maybe my page was cached but I cleared my cache and still can't seem to bring up the index page in IE...?

swa66 - Thank you for your response, it does look like I started with a closing tag, sorry, that was the end of the previous script that for some reason was included in the error that was highlighted.

can you post the index code? Leave out all the content if you can. This sounds really odd.
