Friends website located at http://www.mylifecyclecoach.com was created by him using "Komposer" HTML editor. Looks good in Firefox, Safari but using IE it shows different fonts styles on the top and half way down the page the text appears HUGE and off center. Any advice you can provide would be a BIG help! And I can get the code from him if needed (if this helps)
Remove the <big> tags where the text is big. Firefox is opening fine because this browser may not recognize this tag. I didn't knew it.
It is actually a problem just with IE 6 but not with IE 7. So I think it is going to be eradicated at the time when IE 6 will be out of market
Hi, The site looks ok in IE7 apart for being too wide and there's something wrong with the position of a word - see attachment. Mike
Laundry list of issues here... From a design standpoint the absurdly undersized fixed metric fonts in the menu and the sidebar are next to useless. The fixed width layout doesn't even appear to be 1024 friendly, the font sizes are a mix of fixed and dynamic, causing the layout (the header text for example) to break on large font/120dpi systems... and that's just the layout in EVERY browser. The code? A good start would be to clean up the 42 validation errors, as at that point we do NOT have HTML here, we have gibberish. The markup (not to sound like a broken record) is very much more 1997 than 2008, being filled with presentational markup, presentational attributes, inlined CSS, tables for layout, presentational images in the markup, spacer.gif's, and a whole host of other HTML methodologies that have no purpose on a website written after 2001. 14k of markup for a mere 3k of HTML is a sure indicator that it's badly written, as these days there's little reason for that to be more than HALF that. I'm suprised it works in FF, much less anywhere else... and without piling on tons of unneccessary hacks it is unlikely to work anywhere else, which is why I'd chuck it and start over from scratch. Though it is an EXCELLENT example of why WYSIWYG editors like Komposer are not and should not be used to make any "REAL" websites. Much like Frontpage and designing using Dreamweaver's preview pane, it's a cute toy for churning out some crap personal website, but is of little use for any 'real' web work causing more problems than it solves, being yet another sleazy shortcut.
