looks great in ie 5.0 and ie 6.0, but it doesn’t in ie 5.5
So what’s wrong?
The formfield (with a red backgroundcolor) on the rightside of the page should just fit. It fits in ie 5.0 and ie 6.0, but it doesn’t in ie 5.5 making the page look sloppy.
I can’t use a hack here because, the hack affects both 5.0 and 5.5 and the problem exists only in 5.5.
And I want to avoid hacking as much as possible
Look at your source code. You have about 4 body tags in there when there should only be 1, etc… Get that squared away first, then tackle the positioning. If you are using includes make sure the included portion is not a complete page with header / body tags if you are including into an already existing page with header and body tags… if that makes sense.
That has got to be the messiest HTML code I have ever seen. Along with what marble said, your linking to a few different style sheets, and to boot you have about 100 lines of css code on your page :puzzled:
Also your form is pointing to
form action=“file:///C|/webserver/www/default.asp” method=“post”
lol…rofl…I know it is not funny but dude. I am surprised that you site even works at all. You have waaay too many errors to list. …Inproperly nested tags, and you may want to study up on why cascading style sheets are called “cascading”. I bet you have a bunch of heirarchy css issues going on. Basically properties cancelling each other out. www.w3school.com study up
true, true, true
I agree with Marble, I admit I posted my problems too soon. Not even looking at how messy the code was. Having 4 body-tags doesn’t make any sense and I learned that when i use includes i should strip out everything but the content.
Right now I try to adhere to the standards by learning and trying to use css to make tableless-layouts.
I strongly disagree with Digitalosophy argument that having 100 lines of code for a tableless design is way too much.
For instance: if you look at the code of this kirupa-forumpage it has 291 lines of css-code…
And the wrong link in the form-tag is not an issue here… after all, I just asked something about the fieldset. The site is still in development… This means that there is still room for improvement and learning.
Nevertheless I need to clean up the code and the css to get it as clean as possible.
(without compromising the site’s look on other browsers)
So that’s why I appreciate this forum: to post a problem and to have constructive opinions and replies.
its not the lines of code its how messy it is. you have a bunch of css tags then underneath that, you are linking to a style sheet. then you have some html code and guess what more css, and then yet another link to a css page.
and like DDD said your probably overriding half your css tags with others.
umm and the form error, just pointing that out, thats all
The reason css and html was all over the source, was because i used php_includes in my page which referenced to another page (form.inc.php) with document-specific css tags defined.
I stripped out the css in form.inc.php (in other words: I removed the css and I added it to the general linked css file which controls the whole site). So the source should be clean by now.
