Thanks. -thur Similar TutorialsSo, I mainly use firefox, and my page looks fine in firefox.. but in Internet explorer there are some issues: heres the code: Code: <div align="center" id=article> <table margin:0 border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td colspan="3"><img src="images/articles/top.jpg"/> </td> </tr> <td width="4px" style="background-image: url(images/articles/left.jpg)"></td> <td width="734px" style="background-image: url(images/articles/middle.jpg)"> <br>Text here.... </td> <td width="4px" style="background-image: url(images/articles/right.jpg)"></td></tr> </table> <table margin:0 border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td><img src="images/articles/top.jpg"/> </td> </tr></table></div> Basically, I want that set up so I can put text in and the pics are already made to that they tile properly and neatly, that works, except there are spaces between top.jpg and middle.jpg I reused top.jpg on the bottom, cuz it looks the same anyway and it saves bandwidth by reusing the same pic. But theres a space there too, except not in firefox, which is how it is supposed to look. Basically, top.jpg, left.jpg and right.jpg form a border, and middle.jpg is a shade of grey that fades to a darker color, but tiles correctly for the background, while text is displayed there... and it works, except for the spaces between top.jpg and the rest of the places.

Hi Guys, I was hoping you could perhaps help me with a little issue, this has been bugging me for quite a few hours and I'm entirely at a loss of how to deal with it. (I'm not new at the forums, I just can't remember my previous username " Basically the following page - http://www.citybeat.co.uk/breakfast/index.php The header is displaying fine and everything looks dandy in Firefox, open in Internet Explorer however, well, as usual - that's an entirely different story. The top is in HTML not CSS so source code is viewable, you'll see the in internet explorer the image that should be on the left has centered and the background colour has dissappeared.. I'm really hoping someone can help before I lose the will! Thanks, Andy http://www.sandmanmedia.net/sandman_...anmedia_7.html When viewed in firefox, the 3 menu elements do not stay on the same line (services is bumped to the bottom). It is correct in Internet Explorer, and all 3 buttons are next to one another. Each button is 110px. The td width is set to 330px and set to bottom. Hey guys. I'm having a problem regarding a website I'm building for a friend. It displays perfectly fine on Mozilla Firefox, but when a certain page is viewed on Internet Explorer (said page is http://kod.cogia.net/index.php?page=members), it is absolutely messed up. I've inspected the code a few times but cannot come up with a reason why it is like that. The style code is located at " http://kod.cogia.net/includes/style.css ". The code for the members page is (the resulting HTML) can be viewed by looking at the source code of the page. Thanks for any and all help guys! I apologise if I am in the wrong section of the forum, but I'm not sure where it should be. I am at the end of my tether as to why something I do in my new web site using my favoured Mozilla Firefox does not work in Internet Explorer which I know many people use. My web site is www.otrcricket.com On the sponsors page is a link from our Sponsor (Ratcliffe) logo to their web site, it works perfectly in Mozilla but not in IE. Could someone kindly explain what I am doing wrong. I would be grateful for your help. Many thanks Victor This is the first thing that I have ever written, so don't laugh and make derogatory remarks. The code works flawlessly on firefox and safari, but for some reason on internet explorer it doesn't even look remotely similar. So, please, any help I can get is welcomed. Code: <html> <head> <title>Theory Productions</title> <style type="text/css"> body {background-color:000000} h2 {text-align: center} h2 {color: #EEFAFA} h2 { font: 175% "gill sans" } h2 { line-height: 14pt } a:link {color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none} a:visited {color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none} a:hover {text-decoration: none} a:active {color:#FFFFFF; text-decoration: none} </style> </head> <body> <span style="position: relative; left: 88px"><img src="logo.gif" width="650px" height="215px"> </span> <h2><a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Echols</a></p> <h2>Echols' Concert</p> <h2><a href="http://www.google.com" onclick="window.open(this.href,'popup','width=720,height=480');return false">Echols' Great Adventure</a> <h2><a href="EGTS.htm">Echols Goes To School</a> <h2><a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Adam's Playground Adventure</a></p> </body> </html> Thanks, Adam Why do they render differently? For example look at my myspace www.myspace.com/markster106 The profile box (the one with all the text about me) is in one position in firefox, and when you open it with Internet Explorer, it is different. How should I deal with this? Code: .profile { height: 130px; width: 440px; background-image: url('http://www.freewebtown.com/markster106/myspacelayoutmunit/myspacepicture.jpg'); z-index: 2; overflow: automatic; background-color: #9c9c9c; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: left; padding: 2px } The above is the CSS used I am testing a clients site, and have it on a local server, and bringing it up in Firefox and Internet Explorer 7 to try and work out the bugs, and for some reason, there are images that are not coming up in Explorer, but coming up just fine in Firefox. Any ideas why? Hi, I know this is quite a common and problem, and it is one that often make me want to pull my hair out! The problem this time is that my problems arise from a database generated layout. In that, depending on how many fields are in a database, my code will display a number of small divs. When viewed in firefox it displays perfectly as I would want, but in I.E it goes all funny. Here is the code Code: <?php mysql_connect("localhost", "0607197", "12345") or die("Can't connect to database server!"); mysql_select_db("db0607197") or die(" Can't select database!"); $updated = FALSE; if(count($_POST) > 0){ $admin = $_POST['admin']; array_map('intval',$admin); $admin = implode(',',$admin); mysql_query("UPDATE seats SET admin=1 WHERE id IN ($admin)") or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR); $updated=TRUE; } ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post"> <?php ?> <?php $booked = "<b>Seat Booked</b>"; $sql = "SELECT id,username,admin,rowId,columnId FROM seats ORDER by id ASC"; $result = mysql_query($sql) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR); while(list($id,$username,$admin,$columnId,$rowId,)=mysql_fetch_row($result)){ if($admin==1){ echo '<div style="background-color:red;align:center;width:53px;text-align:center;padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;float:right;height:43px;border:2px solid #FFFFFF;"><b><font color="black">'.$rowId.''.$columnId.'</div>'."\n"; } if($admin==0){ $checked = ($admin==1) ? 'checked="checked"' : ''; echo '<div style="background-color:green;padding-bottom:5px;align:center;width:53px;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;padding-top:5px;float:right;height:43px;border:2px solid #FFFFFF;"><b><font color="black">'.$rowId.''.$columnId.'<input type="checkbox" name="admin[]" value="'.$id.'" /></div>'."\n"; } } ?> <p><div style="float:bottom;text-align:center;paddin-top:40px;"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Book Seat" /> </div> </form> Could this be solved by some simple CSS? Position:absolute perhaps or will I need a better, more efficient way of outputting the data? Advice please. Thanks in advance Daniel Need help determining why the below code will load on firefox but not internet explorer. fixed why? thanks Hi, I have developed a website and used Internet Explorer to view it when making it. However, when I load the pages in firefox it is not formatted the same - why is this? Doesn't firefox recognise certain html and css tags? How can I fix this if I want the website to be viewed the same in Firefox? I am using the following code to embed a flash game into my website: Code: <div id="game-position"> <object data="content/games/stickman-sam-2.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="400"> <param name="ShowStatusBar" value="1" /> <param name="src" value="games/stickman-sam-2.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="loop" value="false" /> </object> </div> It works perfectly well on Firefox 3.0.11 but when I try to load the page in Internet Explorer 8 it just shows the flash game as a white square? Does anyone know how I could fix this? Thanks Good day, I have a test page for a website I'm currently working on, there's a video player on it that shows itself on internet explore but doesn't actually play the videos and on Safari or Firefox it doesn't even show itself. The webpage is located at: http://viloda.com/videoindex_portfolio_rtvnh.html and I think there's something wrong with the HTML. There's probably something wrong or/and missing but I really can't find what. The Video Player works perfectly fine locally, so the player made in Flash can't be the problem, I think it has to be code. So I was wondering if perhaps one of you could help, thanks for reading this over. Hello guys, I really need your help in sorting this out. This html file, http://www.koicolors.net/check-this-out/learn.html is damaged when viewed using Mozilla Firefox but not in Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. If anyone has managed to conquer this one, I would appreciate some instructions and suggestions. Thanks, magiclouie Hi, I am in the process of building a website for a client. This is my first ever site so I knew I would have a few issues. I have fixed all but one at present. Here is a link to my site which I have put live on a test server. http://leaf.greenxtian.com/grangefarm/index.html The naviagation bar and Lightbox2 images are moving when rolled over. This only happens in Internet Explorer 8. It is fine in FireFox and other browsers. It is only on the Services/Facilities Pages so I think it may be an issue with the CSS for Lightbox2? Maybe how I have set it up or just a bug in the coding? Does anyone know why this is happening? If so, do you know of a fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have spent hours trying to work this out. |
