HTML - Really Weird Bug In Ie6
http://www.problem-solving.be/dir0/index.php
Something really weird seems to happen in IE6 on my page. When hovering a menu, a grey rectangle appears in the top left corner, and when hovering it, the last 2 menus roll out. I have been trying things for hours no but I can't find the problem. Both website and CSS validate perfectly, so that's not the problem. Who can help me? Similar Tutorialshi, recently ive been doing a layout and something came across that i couldn't fix. In internet explorer, the "Search Archive" box's height becomes bigger, but when viewed in firefox, it looks okay... does any1 know how to fix this? link: http://blogremix.cjb.net Hello, Somehow I get a weird part on top of my website, it shouldn't be there really, this is my head -> |||||||||||||||||||||||||\ <head> <title>|| Welcome to the Myth Academy homepage ||</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { background-color: #75D2F3; } --> </style> <script type="text/javascript"> var dom = (document.getElementById) ?

Please help me out I wanted to use pngs for my website because I like the transparency feature and it is a better format than gif. I applied the alpha hack so that it would work in ie 6. But I get weird results when a flash movie is playing. The png image shows up and they are cut out but an "x" image also shows up under it like you would see if an image doesn't load. It doesn't happen on any other pages, only the ones that have flash movies. Does anyone know why this might be happening? here is an example page: http://webtvdeluxe.com/v2/videos/Art Show/ Note: Only happens in IE 6 Here is my CSS: Code: #awardcontainer { width: 700px; margin-top: 20px; margin: auto; padding: 0; } #blueheader { background: url('http://www.forumbuff.com/fpacolor1top.png') no-repeat; width: 700px; height: 50px; margin: 0; padding: 5px; } #bluecontent { background: yellow; max-width: 700px; margin: 0; padding: 2; } #bluefooter { background: url('http://www.forumbuff.com/fpacolor1bottom.png') no-repeat; width: 700px; height: 50px; margin: 0; padding: 5px; float: left; } Here is my HTML: HTML Code: <html> <head> <title>Test</title> <link href="stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> </head> <body> <div id="awardcontainer"> <div id="blueheader"> </div> <div id="bluecontent"> Testing 1 2 3 </div> <div id="bluefooter"> </div> </div> </body> </html> The error can be found at: http://zenrer.com/fptest/awards.html I have never seen this problem before, the gap between the header and the content. Can someone help me please. Can someone please check my site in IE6? I think the text in the navigation menu on the left doesn't shows up besides "Pictures"... I saw this problem on my client's computer (yikes! ). It was really weird, the boxes were just green with no writing until you hovered over them. I don't have access to 6 myself and I'd really really appreciate it if someone could check this: http://www.salemnhconservation.org Let me know if this problem happens with you!

Okay guys, here's the situation. Basically, everything looks as it should within FireFox on my page, however IE brings me weird troubles. Upon loading the page at first in IE, it usually has some stranger extra space around the border, you'll see what I mean when I link it up. However, upon a refresh it looks as it should. What changes in a refresh on IE? So I temporarily just set the java popup window to be immediate, which auto-refreshes the page thus making look as it should. I don't know if this method fixes the look for everybody though. Here is the page with the java popup: http://perfectpathtowealth.com Here is it without: http://perfectpathtowealth.com/testindex123.html Anyone have any idea what I could do to fix the problem in IE? Thanks in advance! Hi, My Problem is with ie6 only I have a Menu with Mouse over that changes the background color. I have 6 different menu Home-About-partnership-findadealer-becomedealer-faq-calculator but here's the poroblem: calculator appears twice in the page and in the source code it is there only once. The proof when you try to highlight the word 'calculator ' , both are highlighted. And , Another weird thing if you go on the calculator Page: Everything is ok Any help would be appreciated Thanks OK so i have a form on my website that im using to upload images. But i have a very odd bug. I am using PHP to process the data and im using an if(isset) statement to check whether the page has been submit. Now the form works fine when the submit code is like this: HTML Code: <input type="submit" name="send" value="Upload" onclick="javascript:switchMenu('uploading');"/> But when i another line of java to the onclick event the page doesnt submit correctly HTML Code: <input type="submit" name="send" value="Upload" onclick="javascript:switchMenu('uploading');this.disabled='disabled';"/> now it will submit the data but the PHP code wont work o_0 does anyone know how to cure this? (sorry if my explaining sucks ) Hey, I've just recently up-loaded a new site i have put together, and i'm having a wierd problem with some of the images on the site. Whats happening is that when i view my site, some of the images don't appear, i just get the right hand corner red cross box. And a friend of mine who viewed the site had exactly the same problems, with exactly the same images. But two other people who viewed the site had no problems with any of the images not showing! The other wierd thing, is that i will have an image which works on one page, but then won't work on another page, even though it's exactly the same image file. This is only the case for one image which i'm aware of, all the other images which aren't working are consitant throughout all pages. I have contacted my hosting company and they have mentioned it's most likely something to do with my site coding. I don't understand what i could have done to have made this happen though. If one image works, the others should too... or so i would have presumed. All my images are in the same image folder and they are all either jpg or gif files. My website is feedthefitness.com i hope it's ok i mention it on this forum. I think it would be good to be able to have a look at the site to see what i'm talking about. Any ideas of what could be the problem would be greatly appreciated. I've tried up-loading my site a few times and it's made no difference. Thanks in advance. website- http://webtvdeluxe.com/home.php It's not really a problem but an annoyance. I just set up my page so it is html 4.0.1 strict. I don't have any errors or anything. Everything is viewed perfectly on a windows computer(no matter what the browser as far as I can tell). However on a mac I get this problem.... If you have a mac, use safari or firefox to view the page. At first glance, you will say "Well what's the problem?" The bottom of the middle table below fashion expert should be the bottom of the page. However the page continues further down alittle bit. If I didn't have those tables in the middle filling that empty space, the page would still be that long. For example, on one of my pages, I only have one table in the middle but my page still scrolls down right to that spot. Even if there is no content to push the table down that far which is the weird part. Has anyone ever encountered this? Is this possibly a bug with mac browsers? Is there maybe a fix? Hello, I've got a weird problem that I've never come across before... I've created a page with a hidden div on it that is displayed at certain times (after a button is clicked). The div is displayed on top of a semi opaque div that covers the whole of the page (this is created and added to the page when the hidden div is shown). The effect is very similar to the lightbox technique. To prevent select boxes showing through the opaque overlay in IE6 I'm also using an iframe shim. The only problem I have is that in FireFox, the text input fields on my lightbox div do not have the flashing carat in them. You can select the inputs and enter text into them, it just looks a little odd not having a carat in them when they are selected. Anyone else come accross this? Can anyone help me with this problem? www.enveme.com/index.php The navbar is separating and i can not figure out why. I'm scraping some websites and I've come across a site with a weird link structure. The <a href> shows a relative link, but that relative link added onto the current link does not equal the absolute link I see on the bottom of my browser. If I want to make a robust web crawler, how do I detect that a certain site will have such an abnormality? Well hello folks. Nice place you have here. This looks like just the place to ask a question I have, I hope you'll indulge me. I'm working through my blog site and trying to get it up to xhtml snuff...but that's another issue. What I'd like to start with is a little quirky problem that only seems to effect IE6. When users try to highlight text, odd things happen. Here's one person's attempt to explain it: Quote: This is the pattern: Highlight works on the page displayed on the screen (either main page or each entry). The spot I pointed to before is where the screen display ends on my initial main page load. Once I click on each entry, highlight works on the text displayed on that initial screen - it stops working (starts highlight blocks) once I scroll down beyond that initial screen display. It seems to repeat this pattern with quotes, comments, or just entry text - just beyond that initial screen. Hope it helps. I believe this highlighting issue has to do with my use of css positioning. Let me show you just the key parts of the html page, and then the corresponding bits of the stylesheet. Let's say we have a page consisting of the following div's: Code: <div id="overall"> <div id="titlecell"> <div id="navbar"> <div id="maincell"> <div id="titlebarright"> <div id="leftmargin2"> <div id="rightmargin2"> Here are the related bits of CSS: Code: div#overall { position:relative; width: 1000px; margin: auto; } div#titlecell { text-align: right; vertical-align: top; height: 150px; font-size:x-small; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 1000px; } div#navbar { font-size:x-small; position: absolute; top: 15px; left: 650px; } div#maincell { color: #252525; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 30px; width: 580px; position: absolute; top: 160px; left: 0px; } div#titlebarright { width: 382px; height: 185px; background: url(http://www.solomonia.com/images/titlebarrightbox.gif) no-repeat; position:absolute; top:95px; left:600px; } div#leftmargin2 { height: 10000px; color: #252525; vertical-align: top; text-align: center; width: 160px; padding: 0; position: absolute; top: 285px; left: 600px; } div#rightmargin2 { height: 10000px; color: #252525; width: 220px; text-align: center; vertical-align: top; padding: 0; position: absolute; top: 285px; left: 763px; } So note, we have a div called "overall" whose position is set to "relative" which functions as a container for all the other divs with position set to "absolute." I'm figuring there's something about this that gives IE fits when highlighting. What do you think? Edit: My apologies. This probably should have been put in the css forum. I have xhtml on the brain I guess. Please feel free to move. Hi I've got a weird problem. Basically, I've created an effect where an image (designed to look like the front of a record sleeve) flips when clicked, and then shows a different image (which looks like the reverse of the same sleeve). There are nine "albums" on the page, however, the effect only works on one image at any one time (by default "album1", but delete this album and the effect will work exclusively on "album2" and so on). Changing "div id" to "div class" throughout the HTML document, style sheet etc. doesn't help, it only rearranges the images. I've pasted the relevant code below. I can't understand the problem, and it's creating a serious roadblock. Any ideas? Thanks - Chris HTML: <!-- Album pictures (front sleeve on left, zig-zag sleeve reverse on right) --> <div id="album1"> <a class="opacity"/> <img id="flip1" img src="Top_16/Album1.png" /> <!-- Flip --> <img id="flip2" img src="Top_16/Reverse.png" </div> <div id="album2"> <a class="opacity"/> <img id="flip1" img src="Top_16/Album2.png" /> <!-- Flip --> <img id="flip2" img src="Top_16/Reverse.png" </div> <div id="album3"> <a class="opacity"/> <img id="flip1" img src="Top_16/Album3.png" /> <!-- Flip --> <img id="flip2" img src="Top_16/Reverse.png" </div> <div id="album5"> <a class="opacity"/> <img id="flip1" img src="Top_16/Album5.png" /> <!-- Flip --> <img id="flip2" img src="Top_16/Album2.png" </div> <div id="album6"> <a class="opacity"/> <img id="flip1" img src="Top_16/Album6.png" /> <!-- Flip --> <img id="flip2" img src="Top_16/Album2.png" </div> <div id="album7"> <a class="opacity"/> <img id="flip1" img src="Top_16/Album7.png" /> <!-- Flip --> <img id="flip2" img src="Top_16/Album2.png" </div> <div id="album9"> <a class="opacity"/> <img id="flip1" img src="Top_16/Album9.png" /> <!-- Flip --> <img id="flip2" img src="Top_16/Album2.png" </div> <div id="album10"> <a class="opacity"/> <img id="flip1" img src="Top_16/Album10.png" /> <!-- Flip --> <img id="flip2" img src="Top_16/Album2.png" </div> <div id="album11"> <a class="opacity"/> <img id="flip1" img src="Top_16/Album11.png" /> <!-- Flip --> <img id="flip2" img src="Top_16/Album2.png" </div> CSS: /* Image flip code (applies to album divs, decreases then increases width and opacity, hiding one image then the other, producing a "flipping" optical illusion) */ #flip1{ position:absolute; cursor:pointer; width:104px; height:104px; } #flip2{ display:none; position:absolute; cursor:pointer; } I am just about to ship this template off to a customer but I am having a problem with my footer. The footer is supposed to expand the width of the page at the very bottom of the page. However, the footer is cramming itself in below the content on the right side panel. However, if I add 2 </div> tags in the HTML code directly above the footer code than it works perfect. The problem is that this invalidates the code and I can't figure out why. The validator claims these </div> tags aren't matched with enough <div> tags. Im going nuts and I know this is a really simple issue. Can anybody see what is going on?! Here is the page I am talking about: http://current-post.com/refractive/inner.html Wzup Got a little issue on my site. is showing everything great in firefox.
