Password protected directory.

Only Firefox renders page?

I password protected a directory containing just a few pages. Firefox, Opera, and IE all require and accept the username and password. Only Firefox renders the entry page. Opera shows the correct URL, but does not render the page. IE shows the correct URL, but renders ONLY the background image for the page. Both Opera and IE will display the correct source code for the page - but it does not display.

I can then directly input the URL to any of the other pages in the directory for both Opera and IE, and they render correctly. At no point does the entry page render in Opera or IE.

Have tried naming the entry page, index.php index.html resources.html - only Firefox allows and renders the directory entry page every time.

I'm going loopy.

Can you post relevant HTML and CSS if applicable without compromising the password, etc.

Doesn't make any difference if I drop the external CSS. Page does not render, but does source code is accessible.

The other pages in this directory are nearly identical in the <head>, yet once in the directory I can input the URLs and they display.?

[b]<style type="text/css" media="screen">
</head>[/b]
<body>

If the above is a direct copy/paste, you're opening a

style

declaration, but not closing it. This would explain the blank page. :)

Either remove the

style

altogether, or close it with a

</style>

before the

</head>

. :)

"Well, shut my mouth:))"

The page was validated, but obviously I let that line creep in afterwards, and then a matter of looking but not seeing.....

I'll remember this one for awhile. Thanks.
