I typically use Firefox, but it was just brought to my attention (and I do see the issue in my own Internet Explorer 7.0) that the top graphic of my site will load in IE on the first load of my site and then nothing else will. If you reload my site in IE after that, everything will load fine.
It looks like it's just the first load of IE. Can anyone else test that with http://www.hollywoodchicago.com and let me know if you're seeing that problem? If you are, does anyone have any idea how to fix that?

No problems here
I don't seem to have a problem with either IE or Firefox. That being said, there is a problem with your site. It is worth doing some validation of your HTML. When I did it just now it contained over 100 errors.

Validation
That's not an issue I'm trying to tackle with this thread. That's showing 48 errors and 3 warnings to me, but thanks for the head's up.
Does anyone else see this issue on first load in IE and have any ideas how to fix it?
Is no one seeing this problem?
Is no one seeing this problem? I do see it on first load of Internet Explorer (even though I usually use Firefox) and others have reported it, too. I have no clue why this would be. I spent a lot of time making sure this site was compatible across various browsers and operating systems.
I see the problem
I first get a popup warning and then I only see the skyline header in IE7.
I wouldn't so quickly dismiss what the other guy said about validation errors. Viewing source shows the entire page is loading but there's some sort of display issue - probably from some malformed HTML.
More IE problem reports...
More people are now reporting the IE problem when loading http://www.hollywoodchicago.com. I've seen it myself. Works fine in Firefox and Safari. If you click refresh after the problem happens in IE, it seems to work on the second load after it didn't on the first load.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Any ideas of things I can do/check to help fix this problem? Thanks.

Found the culprit and fixed it
I found the culprit and fixed it. It was JavaScript code for a Casale Media pop-under ad. I placed the code high up in my
page-index.tpl.phpandpage.tpl.phpfiles. This caused the Internet Explorer bug. To fix it, I moved the code to the very bottom of the files. With this information, hopefully someone else won't make the same mistake.Publisher, HollywoodChicago.com
