Hi, Hope someone can help - I have a page (well 2 actually) , that display in firefox and chrome but not in IE ? Any ideas why? http://intercambio.volunteerbrazil.com/index.html Thanks...
Ok, first your menu is broken on large font/120dpi machines, the 'home' and 'reino unido' are appearing one atop the other instead of side by side. If you are going to fix the width of their container, you need to fix the metric of their fonts (in other words use PX there) Your site has 184 validation errors, this means you do not have HTML, you have gibberish. No doctype so IE is in quirks mode giving you little chance of getting the same appearance in IE you would in FF. Inlined presentation is making the site 71k of markup for 8k of content, anywhere from eight to ten times as much HTML as should even be needed for that page. The inlined presentation makes even the simplest of debugging such a complete headache my advice would be to throw the whole thing out and start over using clean minimalist semantic markup, separation of presentation from content, and other coding styles used in THIS century, instead of trying to fix broken decade old methodologies. On top of the use of markup style, you've got margins and fonts declared in PT inside a px width layout, that's just begging for it to break. Of course 99% of the problems can be traced to right here: <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2180" name=GENERATOR> That pretty much says it all. Microsoft HTML export from one of their programs. Good luck with that as those quick and dirty exports are next to useless for making a REAL website that will work cross browser. I'm suprised I'm not seeing VML in there.
Thanks Death for such a detailed reply... I guess I have to learn HTML... which will now be a mission for Jan 2009. I use an editor provided by Bravenet and just got kinda lazy and never bothered to learn the HTML - this now changes from today. Thanks. Oh! and Happy New Year.
