Please go to http://www.aidasopa.eu and tell me if you see a black header.  The header is black on my PC at the airport, yet  on my office PC, in both IE and Firefox, it displays perfectly .. even after the cache has been cleared.  I'm using js_SIFRSTAIN from Joomlashack, but it still appears black when I switch to 247shock_pink_452.  Both templates were selected by the site owner so I'd like to find a fix for her .. not just a different template.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Rob

I see a coffee stained piece of paper in the header, with Aida Sopa written on it.

Thanx Steve .. that is what I see too .. but others see black .. including my server system admin who said "I get the same blackness in IE, but the page displays correctly in Firefox. This seems to be an issue with your website code."  So .. if some see black and others don't .. what could it be?

Thanks again!

I have no idea, but according to the W3C there is something wrong with your code. Validation Link :P

There isn't anything major wrong though, I just gave the site another look over in Epiphany, and Konqueror on my Linux box and it still looks fine.  As far as I know the only thing that would cause a black header is a missing background image with black set as the background color so we're both stumped.

Thanks again .. I'm reviewing the validation and wonder if this  "Error Line 4 column 5: document type does not allow element "HEAD" here. " might be contributing.  Below is the code .. should I remove the "HEAD" element?

Code:
<head>
<?php
if ( $my->id ) {
   initEditor();
}
mosShowHead();
?>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; <?php echo _ISO; ?>" />
<link href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/<?php echo $mainframe->getTemplate(); ?>/css/template_css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all"/>
<link href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/<?php echo $mainframe->getTemplate(); ?>/css/print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/<?php echo $mainframe->getTemplate(); ?>/css/sIFR-screen.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/images/favicon.ico" />
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/js_prov1_marine/sifr.js"></script>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/images/favicon.ico" />
</head>


I'm cleaning up the rest .. thanks again.
