Hi there rjlstar,
this problem was rather difficult to track down. :agree:
Although the IE popup window appeared blank, "View Source" did in fact reveal the page source.
My initial thought, of course, was does it validate.
It did not. Validation revealed some 30 errors. :supereek:
So I was preparing to add this link to my reply...
Why you should validate your code before asking for help (http://diveintomark.org/archives/2003/05/05/why_we_wont_help_you)
...but being Sunday and having nothing better to do, I corrected and validated the code.
Unfortunately, the page still remained blank in IE. :(
When this happens, Plan B is to remove a part of the code to see if that will effect a cure.
Taking out the head section did indeed bring content to page.
Examination of the head section eventually revealed the problem...
<script src="smileys.js" type="text/javascript" />
... which the validator, for some reason did not consider to be an error. :supereek:
Changing it to...
<script src="smileys.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
...solved your problem. ;)
Here is your corrected and validated page...

And while JoJo has worked with tons of charities, she’s still learning, and says that what impacts her the
most are women’s issues. “As I grow older I learn more about them, and I do more of my own personal research,
and speak to people that are more educated about it. There’s so much that I want to do as far as the sex trade
and female genital mutilation. There’s a lot of things that I’m interested in and haven’t had the opportunity
to work with yet.”
