[Solved] Web Site is Refreshing Too Much

spyke927 · Mar 13th, 2008, 18:02

I built my site a while back, and I've been doing a lot of work lately. I added A LOT of new content today, and for some reason, one of the pages on my site is refeshing so often in IE 6 that it won't completely load. Could it be my code? Or is it something wrong with my IE 6? Other pages on the site don't have this problem, on this one.

The site of concern is my Music site

Hi spyke927

I've just checked your site in FF and IE 6 and I'm not getting the problem you describe. Are you able to check your site on another computer - it could be your local settings.

spyke927,

Yeah I see what your saying, but I am using IE 7 and it keeps refreshing constantly :\
I have never seen anything like this before, so don't know what to suggest, I am guessing it would be down to the code!

Surely it can't be something to do with quirks mode can it? Or some other HTML error?

Despite the failed validation, this shouldn't affect the refresh. It might be your server configuration, but I wouldn't be able to help with that.

Ahhhh! NO! NOT THE CODE!
Anyone have any idea what it could be? If you lookk at the source code,there's a lot there to mess up.

Just a stab in the dark.

On the page in question there are multiple style references to css all over your code at a glance they all look the same, however I wonder if ie is refreshing on every css style found on your page.

HTML: Select all

<style type="text/css"><!--a {border-bottom: 0px solid brown;text-decoration: none;}a:hover {position: relative;}a span {display: none;}a:hover span {display: block;position: absolute; top: -150px; left: 100;/* formatting only styles */padding: 5px; margin: 10px; z-index: 100;background: #855E42; border: 1px solid #000000;opacity: 0.5;/* end formatting */}--></style>

try removing all of these except for one in your <head>

Ooh good spot dab42pat!

Yes, you should only have <style> tags in the <head>. Get rid of the rest!
