IE is messing up my webpage
My page looks lovely in Mozilla. Everything does what it's supposed to.
My table set at 85% width fits within the page without making scrollbars show up. My text shows up all on it's own. IE is different. The table scrolls off the right side of the page and soem of the text doesn't show up right away (but if you drag your mouse over it, it does) Obviously IE is playing fast and loose with HTML, but I don't know how to fix it. I'm using CSS to have a left hand column and then I have this:
It's the text in the first form that isn't showing up. Thanks jakyra |

can you post a url to a txt version of this *entire* page?
I can't possibly see what's happening from the little piece of code.

I STRONGLY suggest you try and validate this... I see loads of missing ending tags.
I'll try and look at this!

Well, it's script generated, so the same errors would be repeated many times.
Thanks jakyra |

This is without doubt pretty bad html formatting.
Use all lowercase for html tags... remove the extra un-needed paragraph tags. Don't surround forms in parapgraph tags and make sure to end all tags that dont have and ending tag with /> (eg. <br />) To fix this, all I did was just add:- width:100%; to the CSS definition for the 'right' ID definition. It will then use 100% of the available width... and your tables will use whatever percentage of that. There is probabally a much better way of writing this, but that would involve getting it into a proper CSS / XHTML layout. I would highly recommend making sure you code validates using the W3C validation tool. Hope this helps!

*writes on the chalkboard* "I will endevor to use proper HTML formatting."
Wow. I didn't even know there was a W3C validation tool. That's cool! I'll see how the CSS changes pan out tomorrow. Thanks Rob |

So, I tried adding width = 100% and it looks good in IE, but it's wrong in Mozilla. (the same way that it was wrong in IE before)
Damn browsers, can't they pick a standard and stick to it! A lot of people who use my page are educators and so they may have Netscape so it's important to me that it looks good for both browsers Do I need a different CSS page for different browsers? can I put ASP code in my CSS page to make the decision on the fly? Thanks! jakyra |
