My DiffNote (http://www.polisource.com/diffnote) web application no longer produces visible HTML in IE, but it works in Firefox. I didn't do anything special since it last worked except for install the recent bunch of Windows updates, clear my temporary files, and update my AVG virus definitions. Try it yourself, or see this (http://www.polisource.com/diffnote/061606-TNZ5af3R.shtml) DiffNote result. In IE, you see the background color, but nothing else. I've diffed those two pages lots of times in tests and it always worked. What happened?

The source code is difficult to read, but I have Firefox's View Rendered Source plugin, which makes it easer. I didn't try to find a problem yet. I wanted to complain first. This came from out of nowhere.

I was told by someone who's installed the updates that he sees the page as it should be. Maybe I need to reboot. It's as though my Javascript is off in IE, but it's not off.

Solved. My Javascript was off for my trusted sites.
