Something is wrong with my website and I need help

ladygnome · September 17, 2008

Here is the situation. I am in charge of updating a web site that was done in PHP.

I haven't learned PHP. I am managing to add stuff etc. However, this web site has done a funky thing and I can't seem to figure out why it's doing this or what to add. I kept the old code in case something went wonky, but nothing seems to have been left out yet it's doing this funky thing.

If someone would look at the web site at www.livingspirit.ca and tell me what's up with the middle of the page where it drops down instead of being at the top and advise me on how to correct that, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

LG

We can't help you unless you post some code. If you don't want to post the code, you probably want to hire someone who knows PHP to help you. If that's the case, post in the Freelance area.

Sorry I'm Catholic.

thesaleboat · September 17, 2008

Haha, but yes you will need to post code on here because when you view the page's source code it hides all of the php code.

Sorry,

Look at the image (attachment) to see some of the issues i received after validating.

thesaleboat · September 17, 2008

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.livingspirit.ca%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

Not all of these warnings / errors are vital to fix, such as, the bgcolor will still be understood even though it says there is not a bgcolor attribute and things of that nature, when i upload your code into dreamweaver it seems to be having a problem with the <div id="main"> and your <center> </center>

also on line 84 change this

to this

<p class="heading4"><strong>Please see our Events page for details on our groups and events.</strong></p>

and on line 36-37 change this

<td width="100%" bgcolor="#ffffff"><center><a href="http://www.christianwomenonline.net/index2.htm">

ladygnome · September 18, 2008

Thank you for your suggestions. I have made those two changes, but the Welcome portion of the web site is still dropping low on the page. I am not using Dreamweaver, just FTP.

Anything else you can think of?

ladygnome · September 18, 2008

OK, this is interesting. I removed the code for the Inn from the Cold and Cafe (right border) and the middle poppped back up to the top. So something is wrong in that area of the code. I would like to have those graphic links there though.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

thesaleboat · September 18, 2008

Wow, alright I just put some time into this one, you had a lot of mismatched closing and opening errors in the page, so i went through the entire thing... try this out. Hope it helps, if not, im out of solutions as i cannot see it how it should truely look because i don't have any of the css files so its all jumbled on my screen.
