I recently split my HTML site in PHP so I can make global changes more easily and get ready for a possible migration to Wordpress. The HTML version works with IE and Chrome. Now that I split the site in PHP it only works in Chrome. In IE a lot of the CSS elemets are missing. Is this a common mistake I can fix? Remember the same HTML code works in IE so it has to be something I am doing wrong in the PHP version. I have the same issue with another website I am working on. Maybe there is a special character I am missing?

Try getting rid of that comment right at the start. I think IE is a little shirty about having anything, even whitespace before the doctype declaration, and not having a doctype does much worse things to IE than it does to any other browser.

IE is shirty about having space before the doctype. Silly, silly IE.
I wish I could kiss you. :) I only changed the index.php Seems to be working right?

Maybe some unclosed HTML tags in partial views? Modern browsers are quite smart and try to predict which tags to close first and later on.

They only do this to keep compatibility with the crappily written, older pages. IMO, they should become a lot stricter.
I just cant wrap my head around the idea that different browsers can show the same code differently.
@JamWaffles I totally agree but... how to convince some people that their "well formed HTML" isn't as well formed as they think :D ?
@veritas Spam them with links to the W3C validator and docs constantly until they read and use them ;-)
