On this site, in Internet Explorer 8, why doesn't the "Northern VA Landscaping Design & General Yard Improvement Services" heading extend all the way across the top of that middle section like it does in all other browsers? Please advise. thanks in advance!
Both your HTML and CSS are veeeeery bad. For example, you have h1 tag inside ul. You should use ul/li for navigation and h tags for titles of content. Semantic is very important. There are also many other css and html mistakes. I don't see any problem with IE8? Can you provide a screenshot? In IE7 h1 doesn't show up. You can fix this by removing float: left; from .home-banner-main h1 (defined in your style.css).
thanks. i got it working now. but i couldnt find where there was an H1 inside a ul that you mentioned. where was that?
Design flaws in relation to IE are popping up more and more. While firefox, Chrome and Safari are the front runners in the browser market there are still a surprising number of IE users. Many designers still run into issues even when they believe they have all the IE bugs worked out. Glad you got it working here but don't be surprised if you run into some other issues over the course of time.
The simple solution is make the separate css for the ie and write css for that area in to it. Or Check by through inspect element. It is possible to affect 2 css class for the one.
