One won't load on some web browsers it just comes up as a blank white page-how to fix it.

I created two different forms with DataAssist and one form loads on web browsers but the other one wont load on some web browsers it just comes up as a blank white page. Is there some code I can add to fix this?

a blank page means that a php error is occurring but error reporting is turned off.

to turn error reporting on, add the following code at line 1:

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

ini_set('display_errors','on');

?>

once we know what the error is, we will be able to troubleshoot the cause.

Hi Jason,

The error reporting IS on and the form comes up for me and most others but SOME ie users just get a blank page.
So I can't test the fixes myself but I know of 2 people that get the white page instead of the form so I can ask them to test it.

What do you think might be the problem?

I would need to see the problem in order to troubleshoot.

What version of IE are they using?

can you send a link so i can try to reproduce.

If i can reproduce the problem, I Will be able to find the cause.

Ok...
My client is working in IE 8.0 and they get a blank page...
I have IE 10 and the form comes up fine for me & works....

The problem is unclosed comments. you have this on your page in a few places.

In the fist Style block and in the first script block are 2 examples, you start the comment after the style/ script tag, but do not end before the close script / style tag.
<style type="text/css">
<!--
....
</style>


should be:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
....
-->
</style>
see the attached screen shot for 2 examples.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for spotting that but now the jquery isn't working in ie 8 or 9.
How do I fix this? And do you need to see the code for this?

Let me know
Thanks

you have code that refersd to the JQuery object that comes before the line where you attach jquery

<script language="JavaScript">
jQuery.browser.version = jQuery.browser.msie &&
parseInt(jQuery.browser.version) >= 6 &&
window["XMLHttpRequest"] ?
"7.0" :
jQuery.browser.version;
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
jQuery.browser.msie6 = jQuery.browser.msie &&
parseInt(jQuery.browser.version) == 6 &&
!window["XMLHttpRequest"];
</script>
<script src="js/jquery-2.0.3.min.js"></script>


the js/jquery-2.0.3.min.js file needs to be attached before it is used in the code.
