I am making some changes to a job board theme and there are 2 different things showing up depending on if you are looking through explorer browser or firefox. Here is the link, I am wondering if someone can tell me how to fix so it shows up in explorer.Thanks! http://retailjobsusa.com
You will never get IE to attempt to perform like other far more modern browsers without a proper doctype. Right now you are in 'quirks mode'. You should be using this one: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> Never, ever trust IE to do anything right. Always use any other browser as your reference for how things should work. IE is the worst browser on the planet.
All web pages should have a Doctype in the very top of all pages, this tells the search engines what type of document your website is using. As stated above this will force your website into "Quirks Mode" which can have drastic effects on your webpage layout. Once you have install a Doctype and re-uploaded to your server then test your webpages in all browsers and use this nice peice of software IETester This tests websites in IE 5, 6, 7 and 8 and I have used this for some time now and it never fails picking out any fault your website has.
Using a doctype is essential when dealing with IE bugs. Also check out the IE developer extensions and if you need to make use of IE-specific conditional comments.
