I am in process of converting html template into wordpress theme. Everything is done by myself. However, the result seems to work ok in firefox but it's complete mess in IE5. I need someone with good knowledge of HTML to fix the problem. Payment: $5 via paypal. pm for details. you gotta have firefox installed to see how the template should look like
Apparently he was able to help a little, looks like a big problem, many many nested tables, I'm scared.
nested tables, depricated code, height percentage attributes on table, lots of structure issues, but I did get some of it running.
Well.. I didn't get much of it to work. The problem is in the structure. Picture a center table. (Expandable by content) Sounds fine eh? Now, add in the little designs that border the right and left sides of the table. They are built as seperate unattached tables with an attribute of height="100%" oops, that is where the problem is. height attributes are depricated, and especially when using %. So, while the central body is expanding, the decor around it does not. design is quite nice. Just needs re-structured.
Is there any other way to make them expand by 100% ? Any other possible workaround ? If I don't get it fixed today I'll probably re-slice it and will try again.
That attribute will work on divs, but not tables. If you can just add another colum to the right and left side of your main body table, there will be no need to set a height attrib on the sides.
Uhm...no I would open index file. Find the main body table, and just add a column on the left and right side of it. Then use your background images(right and left01) on those new cells.
Good luck with your site. Like I said, I like the design, only the layout is what is holding you back.
I have frigging problem again. The design is now 100% CSS and XHTML valid. However, it looks fine and FF and it's mess in IE! I just don't get it. Why would XHTML validated page look different in two main browsers ?!!
Does not look a mess to me. It actually looks like a very simple fix. If I recall, your left side is a seperate file from your index which contains the right side. Correct? if so, it appears you have the data in index centered on the page, when in fact it should be right aligned. Also, dont forget to valign it to top as well.
