One of our sites is not functioning in IE 6.0.2900.2180 version!

It throws up a Runtime error

Runtime Error!
Program C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\IEXPLORE.EXE
R6025

The site works perfectly in other versions of IE 6 , IE 7, and Firefox.

Hmmm, Sounds like a theming

Hmmm,
Sounds like a theming problem... so probably not this group either.
Sounds like a bug report anyway, rather than a discussion topic.

Is is a contributed theme?
If so, file a bug report against that theme, with a link, screenshot perhaps, and a more detailed description.

In any case, it sounds like a problem with the browser rather than your website.
Have you reproduced it on different machines?

True Alan, The Bug may not

Posted by shyamala on April 11, 2009 at 4:54am

True Alan,

The Bug may not be anything to do with Drupal at all, but only with the custom code we write in it. In our site: we fixed a lot of custom blocks and views by making sure they meet the Drupal coding standards. This is rightly generated by a wrong piece of HTML. We have been using the W3 standards Markup validator . Now using this validator has become part of the process in our Theming division. The fixes that we worked on included,

1) HTML clean up, specifically 'a' tags that are not properly closed
2) checking for pagenot found errors that get generated by broken images in the theme

Some of these errors get automatically fixed in most of our browsers. But in this version IE there are many reported issues.

Will post the solution in the next couple of days.

IE doesn't support

Posted by Coornail on April 11, 2009 at 8:02am

IE doesn't support interntet.

Altough you can try to enable the mod_tidy extension for apache, it can cleanup the (x)html code (close missing tags, reformat, etc...).
It may help, but I think that's a software issue that microsoft should have fixed...
