We are a bit desperate... We have launched our website http://www.buscounviaje.com

We tested all browsers (IE6-8, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, ...) to make sure everything was OK. However, there are some users (IE7 and IE6) that are complaining that they see everything 'white' with black letters (i.e. CSS styles not being applied). One user said he was getting an "Error 0: Object expected"

However, we do not see that error in Firebug, nor on our local installations of IE6&7. Other users with IE6&7 are also visualizing the web correctly. We have no idea where the problem could be, and we cannot test it because our IE6&7 work fine.

Anyone sees the web page without styles and give us a hint on where the problem might be?

Reasons we can think of...

we are compressing js and css and some versions of IE6&7 are not able to decompress them
we are trying to use a non-existing object in javascript and some versions of IE6&7 do not like it
the cache does not seem to be the problem... we guided a user through emptying his cache and he could still not see the web site correctly.
