This page does not display at all in IE but it does in Firefox

Any help or advice would be so helpful.

Thanks

I wouldn't say that's 'perfect' in FF, to me it's quite a mess. It's an even bigger mess in IE 6 though it does display.

You have this line ABOVE your DOCTYPE line:
Quote:
<?php ob_start("ob_gzhandler");?>
Putting anything before the DOCTYPE line puts IE into quirks mode.

Your page doesn't come close to validating, you've got tons of errors.

For one thing, your <script> section is not in the <head> where it belongs - move it. That will help validation and functionality.

You've got multiple <style> sections - not necessary, put all styles together.

Don't absolutely position your #kw_container - it's not necessary. Absolute positioning takes that div out of the document flow. Write your page properly and the elements on your page will flow down the document logically.

You definitely do not want or need to absolutely position Layer1 either. Set it to 'position: relative' and to center it use 'margin: 0 auto' with a fixed width on Layer1.

You've got EVERYTHING absolutely positioned.. really a very bad thing to do.

There are far too many other problems on that page. Validate it and fix the errors first.
