[oXygen-user] Potential IE whitespace issue in Oxygen

The Oxygen "compare files" notes no differences between these files,  
yet one is rendered by IE and the other is not.

I develop on the Mac but if you load these files into Visual Studio on  
a Windows machine you will discover the same effect, one renders, the  
other does not. And if you really want to be misled (or find the real  
problem) in Visual Studio: in the file that does not render, delete  
the javascript imports from the header one at a time starting with my  
code and then Yahoo's. The page will render after you delete the YUI  
utilities.js import.

No problem is evident in any other browser and the issue appears  
relevant to all versions of IE.

With respect,
Steven
