that code right there: in IE displays a blank page. I ---- you not. No javascript or css files interfering - just absolute madness.

I'm trying to solve this, but even if I do - I thought you might appreciate this slice of madness pie.

EDIT: DOH! the title tag wasn't closed;)

goddamit. I just discovered that myself after a w3c validating test.

I'm somewhat surprised the other browser rendered it.

You shouldn't be :S Other browsers are "smart" and use Gecko. :P

It might be optional, but that still doesn't mean it's good practice to leave out the ending tag.

That page also says that

<head>
</head>
<html>
</p>
</li>
</tbody>
</td>
</tfoot>
</th>
</thead>
</tr>

are all optional

I know that if I left out some of then the design would be pretty ----ed.

Oh, I make stupid mistakes like this all the time! It's one reason I've somewhat disliked programming. It is something I'm trying to improve on, though! :P Anyway, I understand exactly what that feels like!
