Hi guys!

(This is a repeat from the google forum)

I hope someone can help. I was building a site and everything was
going fine. I was animating pics and text and it was previewing like
it should when suddenly, it only previewed properly in Firefox. When I
preview in IE7, it shows only a blank page with just the page
navigation visible on the left. When I click around, all the rest of
the pages display correctly, but not that particular one. However,
everything still previews just fine in Firefox! WHAT??????
Please help.

Oh yeah, one more thing. When I inserted an info form into my contact
page, when I preview it, fill it out, and click to "Send". It opens an
email with code in the message section. Is this just a preview quirk,
is it going to work once uploaded, or is it a problem?

Thanks in advance!

Bob

You can try clearing out the website cache files to make sure you have the most recent files. Also, consider clearing out the temp folder contents as well. This is always a good place to begin since you may have old files in the cache or in the temp folder. You can find the temp folder when you look in the address bar of the browser when you preview.

Regarding the form, you are using the local email program to send the form. This means the browser is gathering the info and handing it over to the email program. This is the easiest way to setup a form but it may not work on all users machines. You can use the email form style if you prefer, but consider switching to a form mailer script in the future to make the form more reliable with more users.
