Description dmctny8 2003-11-06 21:21:12 UTC 
This may be in the worng place.

I mostly use Mozilla as my broweser.  I recently exported a Microsoft Access
database to Microsoft Excel format.  After the export I loaded this spreadsheet
into Open Office 1.1's spreadsheet program.  I then went an exported from there
to HTML.  This HTML page I then loaded onto my site.  After putting it on my
site, I found Mozilla opened it without issue.  However, Internet Explorer
(which I don't use primarially, so I didn't realize for awhile) couldn't display
this table.  This may be a problem that can be resolved by correcting HTML
eportation.

Hi,

a short inspection of the file reveals at least two errors, a </p> and
a wrong <title> position.

For a deeper investigation we need the original Excel file. Please
attach it to this Issue using the Link 'create new attachment' located
direct under the Keywords section of the show Issue view.

Thanks.

Hi,

I think I've found the fault.

This is a section from your file which can be found on your server :

</head>
<title>A-School Internship Database. Peace & Love.
<a href="http://andrewwatiker.homeip.net:81/index.html">Homepage</a></p>

It seems that the IE will not display HTML Documents with some missing
Tags.

In your case there must be an </TITLE> tag after the 'Love.' and an
starting <p> tag anywhere in front of the </p> tag.

This is not a bug from OOo. These Tags and the Title tags are inserted
by you and not the export filter. I've checked it with your attached
xls file.

Maybe you can file a bug against IE because Mozilla will display the
file correctly.
