Almost No Blocks Display in Internet Explorer 6, 7 & 8

Permalink
I moved a client's site from my localhost on my mac to Bluehost; Internet Explorer is not displaying almost all of the blocks. I'm using the theme whitespace, C5 version 5.4.0.5. The url is visuallyspeaking.info. I seem to have a lot of problems with IE with many of my C5 sites, sometimes I solve the problem by changing the files permissions, sometimes the problem lies in the .htacess file. This time I don't know what to do. Please help.

It looks like some content was pasted from Microsoft Word.

In the div id="description" there is a mess of Microsoft XML tearing your site up.

I can take that out. BUT, would that alone cause almost every block to not show up on the site?

Jeramy & Tallacman, you were both right. It only to one cut and paste by my client. If you ask me, this glitch should be on the home page of Concrete5, ok, maybe the home page of the documentation basics: "Tell your clients to NEVER cut and paste Microsoft Word text into the C5 text editor!"

Actually, it would be best to instruct them to use the "Paste from Word" button in the editor. (It's the first icon on the toolbar.) This allows them to copy and paste from Word while stripping out all the nasties.

I know, I can be a Microsoft product hater (IE especially), I have overlooked this button in the editor. My clients will be happy. Thank you!

Hi, I have this issue to, where is the file/page in question to allow me to delete the XML in question.

You have to go to the page with this content on it and edit the "Content" block that it appears in. So it's not a file you're editing but instead using the rich text editor of the "Content" block on a page.
