HTML - Blogspot Browser Compatibility Problems

i have resolved this thanks

I've created a blog on tumblr and attached it to a domain I purchased. The problem is it looks absolutely great in Safari (Windows) but not as great in IE or Firefox (Windows).

Here is the site in safari, the screenshots mac but its the same on windows.



and here is the IE version.



The font (Century Gothic) looks terrible compared to the safari version.

Tumblr has the feature to edit html but I am not that great with html and have basic knowledge.

If anyone wants to see the html I will show them it.


If anyone could help me alter the html to make the website look as smooth in IE and Firefox as it does in Safari I would be majorly grateful.

Thanks,
Danny

Hi,
I have had a new template developed for osCommerce, most browsers display the site correctly such as Firefox but Internet Explorer has some issues.

IE shows the site as being aligned differently with some other design issues.

I think it may be a problem with the stylesheet.

My domain is InkRound.co.uk

Here is the CSS code from stylesheet.css

My site is using a HTML based template with osCommerce.

Heya,

I'm working on my new website design for http://nickerson.biz and all was going good. Came to the point where I check compatibility in all browsers. Figured everything would be fine since its 100% xhtml transitional valid. Turns out IE ****s it up real bad. Has 5 noticeable things that SHOULD NOT be happening.

Site looks great in FF, but IE... I can't figure out whats going wrong.

Ideas?

View source to see coding, all seems fine.

Hey, I'm having issues with coding a website to be cross-compatible with Firefox and Internet Explorer (views fine in Firefox). I'm a BS artist when it comes to web design, and I could really use some help.


The site is at this address: www.thepynebros.com

It views correctly in Firefox, however, Internet Explorer distorts the font sizes, and will not wrap the CuteNews script around the picture of the trees on the index page.

Can someone help me out? What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

I have recently downloaded a web template and have been editing it in Dreamweaver CS4. I created a web menu via an application I bought online and intergrated that into the webpage.

It displays out of line in Dreamweaver however appreas to work fine (everything in line) in IE 7.

I do not know where I am going worng with my toolbar / web menu and what I need to change for compatibility. It is written in java but I suspect its some dodgy html code that has be written by me.

The website is www.ritzphoto.net/newsite/

Hi everyone. New to the forums and thought I could get some help with regards to my personal website http://judyhuynh.ca

Anyways, the problem is the browser compatibility. Just when I thought everything looked OK, I checked it out on my other browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera) but there was one problem with IE. I use Cutenews for blogging and it does not show the line breaks in between paragraphs and it does not show my .png profile picture on the left of the sidebar where there's the quick bio.

http://browsershots.org/http://judyhuynh.ca/

Line breaks in Cutenews are generated automatically when typing paragraphs. So I don't know and the .png thumbnail on the left, nooo idea about that.

It irritates me because it just looks so ugly on IE, ahha and some people still use that 'not-so-great' browser.

Help is much appreciated!!!

Hi,

I am working on my website with my limited knowledge of HTML.

As I am using frames I've found that my website will not appear in some browsers (namely firefox, which I find unusual as its usually excellent). It works fine in safari (i'm on a mac).

the site is www.sambrewster.co.uk

I'm creating a noframes site too so the option is there.

I thought it might have something to do with the character encoding?

Any help or pointers would be excellent! Just to know where I've gone wrong would be great.

Thanks very much

I just found out that a site I built for a nonprofit isn't working properly on Internet Explorer or Firefox. It does work on Safari. It appears the client-side image maps are the problem. I used <map> and <area> inside <img>. Here is some of my code:

<img src="About.jpg" width="1100" height="825" usemap="about" />
<map name="about" />
<area shape="rect" coords="285,29,316,50" href="" title="HOME" alt="Home" />
<area shape="rect" coords="383,29,460,50" href="" title="FOR TEACHERS" alt="For Teachers" />
</map>

(URLs removed intentionally to protect client's privacy.)

I was going by the book, Beginning HTML, XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript, by John Duckett, published in 2010. According to this book, this is the recommended type of image map. It says this code should be compatible with today's most popular browsers.

So does this type of image map simply not work on Internet Explorer and Firefox? Or is there something wrong with my code? What type of image map does work with all the major browsers?

Hey all,

[moved to CSS forum]

Okay so it may be that I'm just overly tired or just overly wrong in how I coded this one page, but I need you help.

I've been working with CSS for quite awhile-using a CSS sheet to populate HTML code that entirely relied on DIV IDs. I have also been using relative positioning until now. I mention this because for the most part this worked in creating mostly identical layouts between IE8, Firefox 3.5, and Safari 3.

Today, I decided to code a page using mostly DIV STYLE tags instead of editing the CSS page. I thought this might be more efficient, and it certainly was easier to code. I also used absolute tags instead of relative.

Using Dreamweaver CS4's live view everything displayed as it should. So I uploaded it all in Safari and again-everything displayed as it was designed. However, IE8 seemed to display all of the content that was positioned absolutely about 50px too far to the right. Firefox-normally my friend-wouldn't even display to top portion of the page. Since the majority of hits are IE8 (sigh) I have just temporarily coded it to display correctly within that browser-but I need help to figure out what to change so that such a compromise doesn't need to occur.

The page is live at my site http://qwertcorp.com/reactivate . There you can see the CSS and HTML code. I will post the raw code in here in a few minutes.

I know these are probably just rookie (read: stupid/sloppy) mistakes, but I really want to learn how to avoid this.

Thanks so much in advance!

How do you use make it so the space between BULLETS (HTML DISC) does not have such a large space between the lines when viewing between INTERNET EXPLORER and Any other browser like Firefox??

http://www.camarosource.ca/main_new_...new_layout.htm

Right side "Recent Posts". You'll notice that if you view with Firefox that it shows the words close to get on top of each other.

HOWEVER, View the same link in INTERNET EXPLORER and you'll soon discover it's now what's almost 1 more line inbetween the top words and the ones below them.

How can I STOP THIS?? If I make it fit in Firefox, it's WAY too high in IE cause it adds another line. If I make it fit in IE, it's like 3/4 the height of the area for Firefox.

Thanks!

I will start off by saying that I do not know HTML, but I am able to mess around with stuff already there to get my desired results fairly often. I am trying to set up a blog template for Blogger, and I am have trouble with the sidebar. A large space appears that pushes down all the widgets under my Links list to the bottom of the posts in the main area of the page. In the HTML of the template, I found this code which I assume is the problem:

<!-- spacer for skins that want sidebar and main to be the same height-->
<div class='clear'>&#160</div>

</div> <!-- end content-wrapper -->

Everything I do to that code either has no noticable affect or brings up an error when I try to preview the changes. Does anyone know what I should change?

Here's a link to my blog so you can see the problem. It's in the sidebar on the right.

Hello, Well ive been having this problem with my website: http://www.ngrock.com

When i visit the website using Firefox it looks just perfect but when i use IExploer, the sidebar doesn't seem to work, instead of it being on the LEFT side of the website, parallel to the content. It displays Below the content, aligned left. What can i do to get the sidebar in its place on all browsers.

Thank You.

Claudio-

Hey guys, haven't built a website for a while and when I did build them I didn't really have a clue.
I've built this page which comes up great in safari but Firefox and Ie show jack.

What could be the problem?
