HTML - Internet Explorer Image Transparent Bg

My site looks perfect in all other browsers, but in Internet Explorer (possibly only earlier versions) the alignment of everything is completely off...My blog content appears to the right of the header instead of under it... I validated my code and still no luck, I am stuck! Any help is greatly appreciated!

My site is:

THANKS!!!

Hi,

It seems that a lot of threads of this board are geared towards people having CSS issues in IE, I'm learning how to make websites at the moment and have also noticed this issue.

Why have Microsoft not done something about this? I don't understand, it seems like Firefox and other browsers have always been a few years in front of IE over the years, so why won't Microsoft just make a browser compatible with all the latest CSS features, if Firefox can do it I don't understand why Microsoft can't?

Is making the browser more update really that difficult?

I want to fix some of the images and links at fix position on the website on all pages. So i have used Div tag and given position fixed and mentioned the position required for me. It works fine in Chrom, Mozilla but does not works in Internet explorer. I tried all versions of IE from 7 to 9. But it is not looking in same way as it looks in other browsers.

i have a site that works like charm in firefox but in internet explorer it results to a not found page.Its index page is full of tables and whn i erase some tr it work in internet explorer too

Hey guys,

My company is building this website and it seems like we're having quite a bit of trouble with the rollovers and their alignment in Internet Explorer versions before 7. It would be awesome if any of you could give us some insight as to why (other than asking customers to upgrade their explorer or switching to firefox).

Another thing is the portfolio section is falling a little too far below the title for a designer's comfort (we're a graphic design studio... not web experts).... how might I be able to fix it?

I want to thank everyone who's helped us in the past and hope someone can help us again!

Hi,

I'm sorry for asking this question but i just can't seem to find a solution so i thought it might be easier to ask an expert...

This is my site design in dreamweaver... click here to see dreamweaver image

It looks fine when i use firefox but for some reason in internet explorer it doesn't seem to like me using tables and moves the table right down the page leaving a big gap between the header and the table information.... click here to see in i.e.

If anyone has any suggestions how I can fix this it would be much appreciated and save me a lot of headaches.

Thanks

hey im working on a project and when i view the page in firefox the iframe works perfectly. When i view the page in internet explorer the iframe only shows up in the top left corner of the page.

Code:

<div style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; right:0px; bottom:0px; background:#F0FFFF">
</div>
<iframe style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; right:0px; bottom:0px" src="http://www.google.com" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
</iframe>

How can i fix this so the iframe is fullscreen in ie like it is in firefox. thx

I have a bit of a problem with my site. I'm using CSS for my td backgrounds and in some places it works and in some places it doesn't. I am looking at it using the lastest Internet Explorer. I don't get why it is working in some areas and not in others...

I'm wondering if someone can help me out and tell me what I'm doing wrong. Here's my webpage.... http://webtvdeluxe.com/home.php . Use Internet Explorer to view it and you'll see what I mean.

Please.... Someone help me

Hey everyone. I've been working on a site recently and I've run into a couple problems since I'm sort of self-taught and am just getting the hang of some HTML techniques.

First of all, I'm having serious format problems with Internet Explorer. My site has a stoplight navigation bar that works fine in FF/Chrome, but when it comes to Internet explorer, it always displays it at the top of the page and moves everything else down .

Second, I can't get any doctype validation to work on my website. I've tried strict, transitional and frameset (even though I don't have frames). Whenever I try it, it seems to completely ignore my stylesheet.

Anyway, my website is www.avavenue.com. Here's my code for the home page:

hi everyone

i m using this code to insert mpg file in xhtml.

<object classid="clsid:166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#version=8,5,0,0" width="200" height="200">
<param name="src" value="Jogi.mpg" />
<param name="BGCOLOR" value="#FF0000" />
<embed src="Jogi.mpg" width="200" height="200" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/" bgcolor="#FF0000" autostart="true"></embed>
</object>

i m testing this offline. This code works fine and shows video fine in firefox but does nothing in internet explorer 6. i have shockwave player installed both in firefox and internet explorer.

why is it.

vineet

So, 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.

Thanks for any help!

Hey,

Recently I've been coding the research group webpage for work. I used standard HTML 4.01 and CSS, which all verified perfectly with W3C, but for some reason IE is throwing a proper hissy fit!

Whatever other browser I use (Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Google Chrome) it works fine, but IE doesn't seem to see the base properly so all my image and style file subdirectories aren't found.

Here's a few lines from the header where I define the stuff of interest:

HTML Code:

  <title>Mark E Vardy - Summary</title>
  <base href="">
  <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" href="css/layout.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" media='all' type="text/css" href="css/style.css">
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">

Anyone any ideas?
