    Hi guys, as much as I hate to ask for help, I have spent all day trying to figure out and thought one of you guys might be kind enough to help out.

    The website is www.cheap-car-insurance-britain dot co dot uk and in firefox its all fine but in IE its all bunched over to the left and all messed up.

    Would really appreciate if anyone car shed any light on why.

    Thanks

    Andy

    Hello Andy,

    Your problem is simple go to your header.php and find the following line


    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
    HTML:
    and replace with 

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    HTML:
    this is all you have to do ...... :)

    Regards,
    Harry

    New web pages have no need for the transitional doctype. All new web pages should use strict.
