Most common reason websites show up in Firefox but not IE

One of my pages for some reason does not show up (at all) when viewed under IE but show up fine under Mozilla.

Most likely due to coding errors that the different browsers interpret as they see fit. Try running the site through the W3C validator (http://validator.w3.org/) and see what crops up.

One reason that seems to happen surprisingly often is that IE and FF act differently when "things go wrong". Things like an open comment early in the file, to IE this comments out the entire file, where in FF at some point it decides you didn't really want to be in a comment (or open quoted string, or open html tag, etc) and terminates it and starts parsing the content again.
