What could be the reason?

Notice how you opened the <script> tag with <!-- (which is an HTML comment) but you forgot to close it before ending the </script> tag. Therefore, IE thinks that the entire page is just one big HTML comment with nothing to display. Firefox is probably just a lot more forgiving to this type of error.
