Question

I've finally done it. I've created a web page that IE7 will crash when trying to open.

Answer 1

+2 A:

Basically, you have lots of markup errors. IE crashes because its not tolerant like others.

For e.g. in many places, you have closed <a> twice. (see below, you closed before and after <li>)

<a href="/images/samples/print/bam1_3.png" rel="print[bam1]" class="lightwindow" caption="Broker Agent Magazine Cover Feature"  /><li>Broker Agent Magazine Cover Feature</li></a>

It's gonna take me a while to fix all these markup errors. BTW, I know it's bad to wrap an inline around a block element, but is that still true if you declare an inline element to be displayed as a block? Or do browsers not care?

you can make it happen with CSS.

Well, I've done some research, and here's what I found:1) UL must have direct LI children only.2) IMG is not considered a block-level element (thought it was, so was resigned to "whatever" when it came to validation).3) Was able to clear about 180 of the errors with about 10 minutes of code, so I need to be more vigilant about my own website :|Thanks so much, NVL. You get the Answer trophy.

thanks :). Always validate html, javascript and css. Will improve stability and cross-browser support. Keep posting if you find any problems.

Answer 2

A:

I guess, it's a lot more difficult to write a page that looks and works equally well in all modern browsers.
