Firefox div display problem

    Hi,

    I'm having a problem getting nested divs to display properly in firefox, although they display fine in IE, and oddly enough if you refresh the page in Firefox it will then display ok too??

    The issue arises when I try to embed a div within another div; the outer div doesn't seem to recognise the content of the inner div correctly and sizes itself too small.

    I've tried putting a clearing div after the inner div as follows, but it's not helping

    <Div>
    <Div>
    <p>.........
    <p>.........
    <p>.........
    </Div>
    <Div style="width:1px; height:1px; clear:both;">
    <img src="../Images/t.gif" border=0 width=1 height=1>
    </Div>
    </Div>

    You can see the problem in action if you go to h**p://www.web-niche.com/link_exchange.asp and click on the 'Exchange Links ...' button.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Dan

    I don't see the problem using firefox or ie6. Are you sure it isn't loading from cache? ctl + f5.

    So did you notice this after your page rank of 4? Doesn't ranking like that take a little time to acquire? :)

    I don't see any "problems" when viewed from Safari. What exactly is the problem that you are experiancing that no one else can see?

    Honestly... What a bunch of cynics!

    Trying to advertise a link exchange page in a CSS forum wouldn't be the most efficient use of my time, and yes, the site has been up for a while Uban, but the exchange form is new.

    Anyway, to satisfy even the most sceptical, I've edited my original post to ensure that I don't receive any benefit from the hyperlink post.

    I'm confused that you all can't see the issue; it's the page that appears after you hit the button that I'm talking about (Process_LinkExchange.asp). In IE it displays fine, but in Fifefox it's truncated halfway through the text in the centre panel and you can't see the 'Next ...' button?

    If anyone still can't see it please pm me your email address and I'll send you a screen shot.

    I took a look at that page also- it looks no different in ie6 than firefox. You can see the next button just fine.

    Sorted... The parent div wasn't floated so it wasn't encapsulating the child floated div fully.

    You are not using a Doctype -- Firefox, being standards compliant, is rendering your page in Quirks mode.

    I cannot find a Doctype declaration in the header of your page so you can't validate the Markup. Don't use the Doctype you list above -- HTML 4.0 has long been obsolete. You also should not use a Transitional DTD for they contain deprecated elements that can cause incompatabilities. Use:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

    But you are still not using the Doctype at the head of your page -- can't Validate the Markup to see if it is causing problems without it. You must be just using it locally and checking the Markup/output in your test Browsers -- load it up to your server so we can check it out.

    Your page rendering breaks badly in cell phone/Iphone/PDA Web page screen mode (more and more people are viewing Web pages in them these days).

    You can emulate Cell phone screen viewing in Firefox via the top pull-down menu: Web Developer--Miscellaneous--Small Screen Rendering (easier yet via the Chuck Pederick Developer toolbar if you have it installed). The same facility is available in Opera -- another excellent developer tool -- via Small screen (toggle) from View on the top tool bar.

    Actually that didn't help, that page has huge problems -- it is written in incorrect XHTML syntax -- for instance, uppercase tags are used (not permitted). I couldn't validate the Markup -- the W3C Validator timed out and the WDG Validator recorded: The maximum number of errors was reached. Further errors in the document have not been reported..

    Affix the 4.01 Strict Doctype at the top of web-niche page and check/correct the Markup:

    W3C Markup (HTML/XHTML) Validation Service
    W3C Style Sheet (CSS) Validation Service
