PHP/HTML/CSS newbie question.

[alys]

Sorry, I had a problem which was posted here, but I found an error in my php coding, so it is all fixed now.


[img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":smile:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /]

Compare the generated HTML from your PHP script with the working HTML and you should see the differences.

Here is the start of the working HTML
[!--html--][div class=\'htmltop\']HTML[/div][div class=\'htmlmain\'][!--html1--]<[color=blue]html xmlns[/color]="[color=orange]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml[/color]">
<[color=blue]head[/color]>

<[color=blue]title[/color]>Stories and Lies<[color=blue]/title[/color]>
<[color=blue]meta content[/color]="[color=orange]text/html; charset=iso-8859-1[/color]" http-equiv="[color=orange]Content-Type[/color]" />
<[color=blue]link rel[/color]="[color=orange]shortcut icon[/color]" href="[color=orange]images/favicon.ico[/color]" />
<[color=blue]link type[/color]="[color=orange]text/css[/color]" href="[color=orange]style.css[/color]" rel="[color=orange]stylesheet[/color]" />
<[color=blue]/head[/color]>

<[color=blue]body[/color]>
<[color=blue]div id[/color]="[color=orange]container[/color]">

You should notice that the generated HTML has another "<html>" and "<head>" tags in it. This is thowing off your display since the markup is nolonger valid.
