IE troubles and more, what else is new

I know this site looks like poo in IE but why do my side links never go to the right url. I was having this problem locally, but I thought it would resolve when I got it online. Also why is there a gap below some of the top images but not others. Check it out.

Re: IE troubles and more, what else is new

Wish I had IE to help you out. I actually really like the look of this site, but I do have one design suggestion. In the dropdown lists, align the text to the left would look much better in my opinion.

Re: IE troubles and more, what else is new

There is something very strange going on which I can't quite figure at the moment but a start would be to correct errors.

Validate your code.

There are two errors in your css - missing px's.

You have used 'navmargin' as an id more than once.

You have empty href attributes and an empty ul.

You have given elements class names that don't exist in your stylesheet.

Not that I think you need it but your function will never work because xhtml is case sensitive and you have the code:
Code: Select all
getElementByTagName("LI");
but your code is quite rightly in lowercase.

IMO you have far too many div's for what is quite a simple layout.

Whilst not illegal have class names and id's with the same name, eg., footerleft does lead to confusion.

Your horozontal dropdown menus are offset in IE and in Firefox and Opera it's possible to drag the cursor towards the dropdown menu such that it disappears before you get the cursor over it.

There are some other cross-browser annomolies as well.

In all honesty, I think you need to completely revisit your layout and code, tidy it up and verify it and then see where we go from there.

I know all this is not what you originally asked but it is meant to be constructive and needs to be done. You might even fix the problem in the process.

Re: IE troubles and more, what else is new

I got it to work, I know its not the cleanest code, but it works. I am validating it right now. But I don't understand how I could have any less div tags in a tableless css layout except with the footer?

Re: IE troubles and more, what else is new

Looks fine in IE for me, assuming then as stated you fixed it up. I haven;t looked at your code but i do like the site.
