Hi,

I've created a site for an organisation and about half a dozen employees claim not to able to load the site on their home computer but can on their companies computer. At first i thought it was their ISP but the problem seems to persist on people's computers on different ISP's (NTL World & BT Openworld). Could someone have a look at the coding to the site index page and tell me what the problem might be?

Cheers

What do you mean by "the page won't load"? Do they just get a blank page, is there an error message, what?

Have you asked what browsers these people are using?

When trying to determine the cause of a problem you need to reduce the number of variables involved. The first step I would take is to create a simple test page (with just the minimum code necessary) and see if they can load that page on their home computers. If they cannot load the page then you know it has nothing to do with the code, but with something between teh communications between their home computer and the server.

I briefly looked at your code. It is difficult to see what's going on because of the formatting, but the only thing I found out of place was some code in the TABLE tags:

<table x:str border="0" ...

That code in blue makes no sense. I was able to load the page fine in both IE & FireFox, but that code may be the problem.
I will suggest that you should start using style sheets - it will make you life a whole lot easier.

Well if there is an "error logo" in the bottom left of the status bar, that would indicate a javascript error - but you code didn't have any script.

The only advice I can offer is what I said before. You need to eliminate variables. Is it a problem with the page or the connection? You need to figure that out first. Heck you could even create an offline version of the page, burn it to CD and have one of these people try it on their home computer. If it doesn't work, then the problem is with the page. If it does work, then the problem is with the connection.
