New Constellex Website Up
August 12, 2007 at 12:00AM, we launched our new website. It’s much better than the plain Constellex logo.
Everything went smoothly during the launch except for some much needed and unwanted testing in Internet Explorer 7. We went to test the site in IE7 and found it wouldn’t render at all, but no errors were being thrown. After further investigation, the problem was with this line:
<script src="javascripts/main.js" type="text/javascript"/>
So what’s wrong with that? Turns out, not surprisingly, nothing. Here’s what IE7 wanted:
<script src="javascripts/main.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
That seems perfectly valid right? There is no difference, technically speaking, with those XHTML lines. Since XHTML is based on XML, and the script tag contains no body, you should be able to use the shortened version of the tag, and it should be recommended, as it reduces bytes to transfer over the wire. Safari and Firefox had no problem parsing the XHTML though.
In any case, we hope you enjoy the new site and welcome any feedback.
