shtml (SSI) not PC compatible?....

Hi all
recently I put some server side content in my pages and therefore
renaimed all my pages from name.html to name.shtml.
It followed a SSI tutorial step by step, and it works perfectly. That
is, on Mac.
I tried to look at the site today on a PC (windows XP), NOTHING shows up!!!
here it is:

http://www.familiesabroad.com

I don't have any doctype specs in my pages. I tried to replace the main
<html></html> tags with <shtml></shtml> thinking that would do the
trick, but still nothing shows up on a PC. Plus, if I look on a PC's
browser at the "source code" of my page, it shows some doctype stuff
that IS NOT in my pages.??...
Any PC person would know about this issue?

thanx for your help

Your problem has nothing to do with PC. I just looked using a PC running
WinEP-Pro using IE 6 and I see your page just fine. Though for what it's
work the only pages that are .shtml are the main section pages like Paris,
Provence, etc. The pages about the actual houses are .html. But it looks
good. No problem here.

Yes that's right only the pages that actually contain SSI have been
renamed shtml.
But the site still doesn't show at all on my roomates' windows XP, he
tried with IE and Netscape, the page stays white. He has no problem
viewing sites otherwise. So please more PC people, can you check it, so
I can figure out what's wrong? thanks!...

You need to figure out what's wrong with his computer or its settings or his
ISP. It's not a PC thing because, as I said, I see the site perfectly. (I
just checked and it's fine using Netscape 7 also.)

Is he logging on using the same ISP you are?

IE 6:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

IE 5:

It didn't change the page I was already displaying! It acted as though you had
pointed to my page (which is on my PC).

Firefox 0.8, and Netscape 7.1:

<html><body></body></html>

Opera 7.23:

Dialogue box saying: "Problem encountered while decoding data. Possibly due to
corrupted data".

You have a problem!

Here's the message I got when I tried to hit your site:

The error was: ?bad server response? (NSURLErrorDomain:-1011)

SSI is a server technology so I'm REALLY puzzled how the configuration of
one's PC would have any affect as one poster suggested relative to the ability
to view or not view an '.shtml' document.

But that's just me.

I really puzzled too....and I'm the guy you're referring to! It's the next
morning and I'm once again sitting in San Francisco using a PC with
WinXP-Pro and on IE 6 and Netscape 7 I see every page of the site just fine.

Maybe it's a function of people's ISP and what may be cached through their
ISP......?

Damned if I know. I'm just reporting what I see.
