my website doesnt work in diffrent browsers

When I click on my sketches in chrome it loads up fine. When I load up in firefox I get some text then it goes blank.

 

What gives?

It probably has something to do with the message telling you the Google API key is invalid, which may have something to do with the validation error indicating an illegal character in the url for the api, or it might just be that the bunch of validation errors (mostly for duplicate ids) are more than some browsers can tolerate, but with all the frontend scripting the page is slow enough loading that most users will never se the problem because they are going to go somewhere else instead of waiting.

 

So try fixing your errors and you might get it to display. Expecting pages full of errors to work correctly is not a reasonable expectation.

Got rid of the errors yet my page still isnt loading.

 

Does it still take too long for the website to load?

It takes around 10 secods on the initial load. Anything over 3 seconds is considered slow, and over 5 seconds will cost you taftic in a big way. You have too much jammed into the page. Plus all those extra effects take away from the sketches. You should be featuring conte, not surrounding it with a lot of special effects. Layout and presentation are ther to support content, not take over and put on a show as part of the load.

 

The sketches come up fine for me in Firefox you may have a setting or browser plugin that is causing the problem. When you have that much scripting on a page you are begging for cross-browser issues because of the damage jquery does to the document object.

 

Oh and did you clear your cache, because if you didn't it might still be loading some stuff from the cache instead of the server.

Heres what it looks like on chrome now after I cleared the cache for that and its the same for firefox now. All I did was remove the google API lines from my index file

What are the api lines supposed to be doing, because it looks like most of the excessive scripting gets loaded, or gets loaded bu not executed..
