savvy vacuum something about nothing

I finally fixed my website so that it works in Internet Exploder now.

The problem was that nothing after the navigation would display. There would cease to be any more text. You couldn’t even search for it. It was simply a black background with no text.

This bit of code was the problem:

<span class="pipe"><!--|</span>-->

Some CSS associated with it:

.pipe { display:none; }

Can you spot the mistake? I can’t believe I could be so stupid!

What is even weirder though, is that EVERY OTHER BROWSER rendered the site the way it should be. For some reason, Internet Exploder was the only one that “followed the rules” for what I wrote. All of the other browsers knew what I was trying to do.

Worked fine in:

• Windows
  • Firefox
  • Chrome
• Mac
  • Firefox
  • Safari
• Linux
  • Firefox
  • Opera

Now the headache is over.
