    So I get a call from a client saying that they basically are viewing the site as words and send me a screen shot basically showing that their internet browser isn’t showing the CSS style sheet I’ve got attached to their site. They are using IE8. I’ve previewed it in IE6, 7, 8, Firefox (multiple versions), Opera and Chrome, and on my computer it’s looking fine. So I guess I’m a little dumbfounded as to how to fix this problem…Can anyone help?

    I thought I had written a work around for IE, but maybe it didn’t take? (It’s been a bit of a long day and I’m apparently too tired to be thinking logically now…Is that incorrect? [Thanks]

    The link to /ie.css doesn’t exist. By putting the backslash in front of it, the browser expects the file to be here:

    airlinkconstructors.com/ie.css

    Make sure to link it to where your CSS file is located.

    That totally makes sense. I’ve uploaded it but have no way to check it since it looked fine on my end to begin with…any improvement?

    IE8 and FF display the page pretty much the same way now. So I’d say: Problem solved :p

    I got an email from the client this morning saying they are still seeing it incorrectly. I’m at wits end…Is there any explanation for this – maybe it’s a network thing?

    Looks good in IE8 for me now.

    Maybe they are using an older version? IE6 perhaps?

    Yeah…me too, but just confirmed one user is using IE8 the other is using IE7 (both of which have looked good on 3 computers that I tested on)…the only difference between them and I would be their are on a network that is set up for their business…I’m wondering if maybe they’ve got some sort of security settings up that wouldn’t enable them to read style sheets…but IDK…I’m not the most tech geared so it really could be anything I guess.

    Ask them to try it at their home computers.

    Yea, some networks that are set up for businesses have some terrible caching issues.
