Index page repeatedly refreshes before loading completely

[CobyLogen]

In IE 6, my blog's index page automatically refreshes itself immediately before the page fully loads. It does this repeatedly, so all you see is the page flashing as it tries to open the first blog entry. The page never contains all the source code before refreshing again.

However, the blog works perfectly in Firefox.

The URL is:

http://www.dotgovwatch.com/

This also happens on:

http://www.dotgovwatch.com/about.php

and:

http://www.dotgovwatch.com/.?/archives/ ... -Bill.html

Any advice would be great. Thanks!

Hi!

The ".?" in your URL looks odd. The CSS looks like this:

Code: Select all

http://www.dotgovwatch.com/?/serendipity.css

Where does the "/?/" come from? Did you change your s9y configuration and removed the "Index File" from "index.php" to something custom? It seems IE cannot deal with that.

Best regards,

Thanks for your quick reply, Gavin!

Yeah, I wanted myURL to display simply as http://www.dotgovwatch.com/ rather than http://www.dotgovwatch.com/index.php.

I changed the configuration so the index file is no longer ".", but is "index.php", however the problem persists.

My pages are now attempting to import the stylesheet as "http://www.dotgovwatch.com/index.php?/serendipity.css" Is this the correct reference for the stylesheet?

Is there anything else I should try?

I really appreciate your help!

Hi!

Yes, that's the right stylesheet URL now.

I actually don't believe that the error lies within Serendipity, it seems to be caused by your Webserver that might not behave properly with the MSIE.

Please contact your server provider, I'm afraid only he can help you in this weird case of malfunction.

Best regards,
