I am definitely not a techie and didn't even know this problem could or would exist. I put up an information page at: http://www.senior2senior.org/iwrite.html and made a WSO. One of the warriors who looked at my page in firefox said that it was scrambled and she couldn't read it. I did not check it in firefox before uploading but from everything I've heard, firefox is a supe duper tool. Someone told me I didn't have a doctype listed so maybe that's why firefox scrambled it, i.e. firefox doesn't know how to read my page. Now I'm totally confused given firefox has been touted to be as good or better than IE. If IE can read it w/o problems, why not firefox? Anyway, if somebody can help me I would be very appreciative. I truly need help as I don't understand the why and how of firefox's supposed scrambling. Thank you in advance. Tom
http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/html/doctype.html hopefully that links help a lot about DOCTYPE, it's suppose to be declared at the first line of your HTML code. But I just realized if it's required?
Tauren, I appreciate the link and will check it out. I've also asked my host support people but they haven't gotten back to me. Oh well, patience is a virtue... Tom
Your problem is in the style attribute you are using in the TABLE tags. It is causing the lines to overlap. Remove it and it will work in firefox (already tried it). if you want to style your text I suggest you use divs instead of tables.
I sincerely appreciate your response. However it left me with 2 questions so I've reprinted your post. My q'a are in red (obviously). Your problem is in the style attribute you are using in the TABLE tags. It is causing the lines to overlap. Remove it can I simply delte those lines from my html in the code?) and it will work in firefox (already tried it). if you want to style your text I suggest you use divs (what are divs?) instead of tables. Tom
Yes, you can delete the lines in the HTML document (and upload the document to your site). divs are content blocks (determined by the <div> and </div> tag) that are easy to manipulate and transform with the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). I suggest this tutorial.
